There is also the possibility that getting what may become unsustainable wages off the books rather than gaining a realistic transfer fee is more important. Alex Smithies contract is up in 2022. If his reported £30k per week is true then perhaps we’d rather give him away rather than pay him another £1.5m in wages. Of course, in the current climate no-one may be prepared to take him off our hands at that wage which may mean we will have to keep paying him. If socially distanced reduced crowds are the norm next season with a CCS maximum of approx 13,000 at 1 metre according to Mehmet Dalman then players salary expectations will need to be more realistic when their current contract ends.
