Have the rules been changed since to make it possible again? Or are people suggesting that clubs and players would just manipulate this on pure trust?
Quote:E1:5:3 The following factors are irrelevant to the calculation of the Salary Cap Value of a Player:
5.3.1 Time of Actual Payment, i.e. whether or not a payment is actually made or a benefit is actually provided by the Club to the Player in the relevant Salary Cap Year. Instead, what is relevant is the date when the payment or benefit Accrues to a Player.
Though left specifically vague, front ending etc would fall under this ruling.
