The Whites chief has explained the reason behind the loan clauses in players contracts
Leeds United chief executive Angus Kinnear claims the club has saved around £40million in player wages after allowing players to leave the club on loan. The Whites bid farewell to eight of last season's first-team squad on season-long loans, six of whom were signed just last summer.
“They all want a way out because they don’t want to take the salary cut. We had a choice when we structured someone’s contract — about whether we wanted to have a salary cut or not."The salary reductions were somewhere between 40 and 60 per cent, so very aggressive. They’re some of the most aggressive in the Premier League.
"The owners couldn’t fund a Premier League wage bill in the league below. There was a conversation to be had and the players want the protection of a loan.
