McKnife was appointed on June 12th

That excuses hims from contracts awarded to TJ, Rudd & Nelson. And probably Theo, Dumic, Stephens & Habergham too.

But all subsequent deals I would expect to have been McKnifed:
Wiggins, Askou, Maric, Hughes, Whaley, McVeigh, Alnwick, Forster, McNmee, Daley, Smith, R Martin, Rose, C Martin, Johnson & Whitbread.

  - It wasn't really buried either was it? (NCFC) - camcan, Feb 17, 12:55:46

        It was described as manageable (NCFC) - camcan, Feb 17, 15:04:38
        
        the phrase "manageable" was used (NCFC) - jayson blair, Feb 17, 15:10:13
