Hence the other question I asked 3 days ago about whether we'd be in breach of contract for not registering & playing those squad members deemed surplus to requirements if they refuse to leave. Apparently we would be.
Again, my hope is that there'd be enough love & respect that if it came to that, those players would move on & not take legal action over City’s contractual obligations to register & play them.
The same contractual obligations also applies to our new recruits, hence hypothetically the sticky situation we could find ourselves if everyone remains.
