Quote ="Kosh"Correct. Having the SL contracts terminated in no way obliges a player to leave the club and seek a contract elsewhere. They become free agents but if Rovers offer Championship contract terms that the player agrees to then nothing is stopping them from signing those contracts and playing for Rovers next season.
The assumption has always been that a player who is offered the choice between SL or Championship will always choose SL because it's a higher quality competition and the contract will be worth more. Since the Championship Salary cap was raised, however, the latter no longer applies provided the Championship club can afford to pay SL wages.'"
So for those handful of playees we want to keep, hopefully the board and Peacock are doing overtime to retain them. A few may feel indepted/loyalty to us in wake of relegation as long as their personal terms are roughly the same - the top 2 I'm thinking of are Blair and Lunt. Josh might stay as he appears to look pretty loyal as well.
Time will tell but the clock is ticking.....
