Contracts Cancelled by Mutual Consent (1 Viewer)

I noticed yesterday that alot of contracts were cancelled by mutual consent. I have never noticed quite so many.

Does anyone know why this happened with such abundance last night?

Squad size / Financial Fair Play rules?

Whatever it is it seems to be having an effect. There was also alot of freebies.

Anyone worth picking up? Believe we can still sign freebies.

There's a couple released from West Brom. I think the rest were lower leagues.

Anelka went on a free, I just don't understand it tbh.

Don't know for sure, if it is the reason why, but an out of contract player can sign for a new club, at anytime- it removes the constraint of the transfer window.

This gives a fringe player a chance of moving elsewhere, and playing (probably lower league) rather than 'benching' for the reserves?

It also reduces the payroll . Transfer fees are less significant these days- it is wages that cripple the coffers!
