But players without contracts? free/bosman what ever - they can sign pre contracts any time right?? Im not 100% so could be wrong - but I was only after the supposed date of payment to HMRC?
so i know for real, when the Embargo is gone.... all this transfer talk depresses me when i know we cant do jack shit yet anyway!

Yes out of contract players/bosman can sign contracts at any time.
However, most player contracts run from 1 July to the 30 June (obviously the year would vary)
So even those who are out of contract (like Ledley) don't actually become free agents until 30 June and then sign officially when the window opens on 1 July.
The tax has to be paid by 16 June so the embargo is really a non-issue as if it's paid (like we all hope it is) then the embargo will be lifted well before the transfer window opens.
