So they've got until their existing contracts run out

Anyone they buy will therefore have to fit into the total £2.25m cap.

That's £43,000 a week for the WHOLE squad. Based on 25 players, that's an average of £1,720 a week. No chance of buying your way out of the league with that.

"Transition arrangements have been incorporated in respect of a Club’s squad salary cap calculation with the key element of these aimed at addressing committed contracts and relegated Clubs. Any contract entered into on or prior to today’s vote will be capped at an agreed divisional average until that contract expires. Moving forwards, Clubs that are relegated will be permitted to cap all contracts at the divisional average prior to the Club’s relegation until those contracts expire."
