For me they took advantage of the situation.Not according to the reports I read. Both players left Wigan because of contract issues on the advice of the PFA. I would assume both were totally confident of getting new clubs pretty quickly which has happened with Whatmough. Sure we'll see the same with McGrath shortly. Doesn't mean new jobs were "lined up"
Neither you nor I know for sure though.
I suspect both had clauses in their contract relative to a salary reduction in the event of relegation.
I suspect Whatmough got a nice fat signing on fee at Preston and an increased salary.
McGrath isn't as much sought after but will still be looking for a healthy signing on fee and salary from his new club who will pick him up on a free. I would like it to be Hibs but suspect we have spunked our player budget. I suspect his destination will be announced in the next day and a half.
