Apparently we can leave players out of the squad and they won't count towards the salary cap.

Sure we’d rather peddle him if possible. Hadn’t been near the squad for first two friendlies?
Yeah we would. That's the point though, we leave him out of the squad so his wages don't count towards the cap and try and sell him/give him away. Would imagine he's been given time off as he played for Charlton when the season resumed.
 
I know that but it means if we've no intention of playing him we don't need to include him in the squad.
I feel like our finances are so precarious that we can't afford to take the chance of signing players towards the salary cap and just not include McGeady if we can't shift him
 
I’d love to see the back of PP tomorrow, but I get the feeling he got the Mcgeady call right.
No coincidence every player that has done these podcasts has mentioned mcgeady in dressing room issues, clear Coleman had similar problem.
Signings like Bailey Wright are crucial To a strong dressing room, very rare you achieve anything without one.
Another month of Mcgeady being here Parkinson would of gone.
 
According to this article:


Players we don't want (like McGeady) can be left out of the 22 man squad and so won't count towards the salary cap. As an aside I think we tried to sign that Naismith but he went to Peterborough instead.
Why would we do that though when we can count them as being on the average salary? Wasn’t that the reason for rushing through the Wright deal?

As an aside though; being allowed to have an expensive player sit there and take his wages but not but not play for you, surely is the pinnacle of hypocrisy if this rule was brought in to promote “sustainability”

Still have to pay him if we don't shift him
That’s actual wage rather than wage cap allowance though. Makes a f***ing mockery of the whole thing. We could drop our five highest earners from the squad to free up wage cap space but would then have to pay them and any new signings.
As an observation their 24 man squad has 12 under 21’s.
