Jak McCourt seemed to think it was a good move!

Sounds like madness to me.

McCourt wasn't THAT bad he was just an average L2 midfielder, this looks like a poor move though, certainly financially.

Not that many jobs around, better off with a contract than without?

Not if there is little chance of the contract actually paying wages though?

If they go into admin football creditors will be paid in full - contract will be paid up instantly surely?

What jayo said. Not saying it's a good choice, but this is a time of year when players can get desperate for the security of a contract, particularly if they've had little interest elsewhere.

How many times do you see "player has signed subject to Football League approval" I take it that not being able to afford the player doesn't get taken into account by the FL.

It is odd they are allowed to sign players, football creditors usually get paid by the FL out of payments due to the club, you would have thought players not getting wages FL would be all over it and put them under embargo...clearly not
