Telegraph done a piece on him and his enforced retirement due to his knee, anyway says he's still contracted till June with us.

How can a player still be contracted when they've been forced to retire? I get a player under contract who's injured is still under a contract to be paid by the club but a player forced to retire, don't make sense. Surely the contract is void if you have to retire? Wouldn't insurances kick in then?

So how much has he picked up in vital wages this season in his 7 league games (10 games in total)

Probably prevents him making a miraculous recovery and playing somewhere else for the duration.

Well I'm lucky I get 6 months full pay then 6 months half....
however Sam Ricketts had a playing contract, he had to retire due therefore made himself unavailable for selection. He's basically said I'm not playing anymore... and rightly so from his part as I'm sure the pain and likely knee replacement isn't worth it.
If I say I'm not working anymore my knees shagged, I've terminated my contract.
So why has his playing contract not been terminated? Insurances triggered? Or a revised coaching role with contract been given.
