Interesting! However, it's not so much contracts that's bothering me but the low quality of information coming out of the treatment.
To repeat, if someone's return is imminent, then I understand the use of a little strategic secrecy but if the player's outlook for return is longer term then I can't see the need for secrecy. What's more, we have been given false hope/expectations of return of certain players that were clearly and worryingly well wide of the mark.
