When do contracts / loans start : Sat Sep 20, 2014 8:20 am
the club that takes a player on loan would normally pay their full wages unless an agreement can be made. At the close of season the player would return to his parent club and they would pay his wages during the close season or until a deal can be done for the sale of the player. I imagine that both Smith, and Owen have now returned to their parent clubs and are off the wage bill. When you buy a players like we have from Cats and HKR , do the club pay their wages from the end of the present season or from the start of next. I seem to remember when Smith signed for Salford they took him before the end of the season and although he didn't play for them they took his wage on.
