As Kear said when we got our licence, Gareth Moore had committed his future to the club despite our franchise situation. He would lose nothing as he came from the Championship.

Works both ways, equally could save you being lumbered with a player that doesn't give you much in return (McGoldrick?)
Also the rewards for selling a player under contract are hardly generous, so if a bigger club wants said player, they can still have them, but the selling club will make little profit after factoring in the higher wages that go with a longer contract.

Lets not get into a "mine is bigger than yours" comp yet guys. Our team has not played one game together yet. Cas haven't made lots of signing but they were ahead of us last year so lets be realistic, we are the ones catching up.
I do think we will do well.....but lets not start picking fights just yet. Lets get some performances on the board first.

Amen to that. The amount of dick measuring and bitching that takes places on these forums is getting very tiresome and quite frankly is more than a little sad.
