Just like when the FFA finally **** us off to anyone willing to pay the jacked up price they want for us.
Contracted players must be offered a like for like deal.
The players are then allowed time to act as free agents in terms of seeking offers from other clubs, if nothing comes form elsewhere they can take the offer from the new owner.
Any new owner is hamstrung by contracts from the previous owner.
It's one reason why Miller is signing young blokes to shorter deals, so if a new owner comes in, they aren't left with an aging squad being paid too much, on lengthy contracts.
