Well, you are either extending their contract or you aren't.

If you are extending a contract that typically ends on June 30th, even though the season nominally ends in May, even with Play-off games, to the end of July then you are by default extending the payments on that contract by a month too, unless some other agreement is reached, or have I missed something so bleeding obvious here that my nose is in the way?

Town are expecting them to play in June for the contract money paid - fair do's if your contract runs another season or 3, but they then expect them who have a contract ending this June to extend this free gratis, nothing, nada, zero into July based on what Bromby is saying. I've no idea what this has to do with furloughed staff, they are not being asked to work at all. but unless you are volunteering, how many of us would work for nowt? I don't care what a footballers wage is and whether or not they can afford to work for nowt for a month. aA fair days pay for a fair days play is all he was asking.

I don't blame any player for withdrawing his "loyalty" to the club if this is how they are all doing it, and that includes the lads a Charlton. Dress it up how you like, I think the clubs are the one's at fault here. Yes, they've a problem with no gate money coming in, but Town have banked most of their's on Season Tickets anyway. The number of walk-ups is minimal these days. The only payments they might not get will be from those that pay by credit card, assuming that agreement has not been changesd.
