Crookes, Miller and Arundle : Sun Sep 21, 2014 11:02 am  

All three are still contracted to FC for next year.

All three will be way down the team sheet if we keep them.

Any rumours or speculation whats happening?

Between them they will be taking up a good bit of salary cap!

That said, Yeamo and Whiting may not be starting players next year.

jason crookes? i thought he was on a two year contract that ends this season?

Re: Crookes, Miller and Arundle : Sun Sep 21, 2014 11:52 am  

Realistically, we need to be shot of all three, AND Yeaman, for our squad to be the most efficient it can be in terms of salary cap management.

Just tell them they are free to go if they find other clubs. Otherwise we'll just have to stick it out for another year, it's a problem of our making, not the players fault.

If they don't make any appearances do they still count on the cap? Surely if we deregistered them as players but carried on paying them it wouldn't count on the cap. Would it?

agree with the first part, no professional player wants to be sat on his arris for a year, it would be in their best interests to look for another club and take a hit in their wages

as for the second, unsure how it works

Reckon we've already told them they can, problem is why would they leave for less money?

No chance they'll leave and take the hit. They say they're staying to fight for their place, forcing the club to loan them out to get them off the cap whilst still contributing to their wage.

They get full wages and look professional too.
