Is there a reason we cannot terminate (mutually or otherwise) a players contract at this stage of the season, surely if we can it would get deadwook off our wage bill and other teams could pick up the players on a free ..or am I missing something ??

I would imagine we'd have to pay off their contracts which I also imagine would still count towards FFP.

Thats correct, plus if they are on a 3 year contract then we can spread the cost towards FFP over three years, whereas if we terminate their contract we would have to pay it off and all of that would show up in that year rather than being spread out.
