    That isn't the full story. Yes, the 'old' club continues to pay the player in July but only IF he hasn't signed for a new club. He remains registered with his old club. I obviously don't know the specific details but it appears to me that CD is getting an extra month's salary from us in preference to signing for York for that month on a new much reduced salary.

    Perfectly within the rules but sharp practice by York and Donaldson. I can see why Sparks is annoyed but it’s a mountain out of a mole hill. Donaldson himself could have avoided it by insisting on signing from 1st July or not playing until August, probably says as much about him and his respect for City as anything else.

    If as has been suggested we are still paying his wages and hold his registration are we not then liable for him still if he gets injured even though playing for another club?

    It’s disappeared behind the pay wall for me now but didn’t the article say he was playing under his own insurance? So he, or his insurers pay for any treatment.

    Yes but every player gets paid until the end of July by their old club when out of contract.

    So why aren't our 8 new signings being called trialists until the first of August then? They were all out of contract too when we signed them.

    True Kev, but what if it's been done so we can take him back if we don't manage to find another striker before August :eek2:

    Joking - or at least I hope I am!

    Your link says CD isn't signing with York until Aug 1st. That doesn't mean he can't play for them until then but not as a registered player only as non-contracted or as a triallist.

    Clubs play fast and loose with the term 'signing' to show that some progress is being made, probably to appease the fans. But what really matters so far as playing is concerned is the date when the registration is completed with the FA/EFL.The fact that City continue to pay CD means that his registration is still held by City until 31 July. We're not immune form this and we've 'signed' players even before their registration could even be submitted. As an example, we announced Billy Knott's 'signing' in May 2014 despite the transfer window being closed at that point and registrations can't be completed until after the transfer window has opened.

    It's a murky area and I'm sure some take advantage of that.

    Certainly whilst he is registered with us, he is insured for all sorts of things. I've never really understood what happens in the case when CD is a triallist (in theory) playing at another club. There must be some kind of arrangement via the insurers for this situation since it happens so frequently every season.

    the thing is he hasn’t signed at the completion of his contract. His contract ended June 30th. He is signing August 1st to take advantage of us having to pay his full wage for July, saving them a months salary.

    Maybe they have seen something in Donaldson that they think would benefit the club on the coaching side of things, but not Clarke?

    Yes but there must be a contractual reason, can’t think of anything what it might else be?

    By agreement with their previous club. And it just could be 2 years from the day he signed. I don’t know , tbh, and surprisingly I don’t care. He’s no longer one of ours.
