New Owners - Redwood Watch

Heard this on the radio regarding Man Utd and Brian Mbeumo but the same goes for Couhig/Reading:

When signing players, for every day the deal is delayed the buying club saves a day's worth of wages - so if a player is on £7k per week the club saves £1000 per day for every day the deal isn't done

Could frugal Rob be doing this?

They don’t though. They just delay paying it by 1 day. A 2 year contact is still 2 years, it just starts a day later.

Contracts usually run to 30 June from what I've seen of announcements and departures. No reason a 'two year' deal would run into mid/late July... it's pointless.

Due to the sad passing of Adam Prior, Head of Pre-Academy and Foundation Development Phase Recruitment, the club’s communication channels will remain silent today as a mark of respect. RIP.

That’s a fair point !

RIP, nice touch from the club.

Agree - nice touch - but means they cannot announce all those new signings and Kelvin's contract renewal
