Hypothetical...
Swans tell Kurt to go to PSD and nominate a 1 year salary of $1 million to scare other suitors off. Swans then pick him up and mid 2013 renegotiate say a 3 year $1.4 million dollar contract. He in the end gets $800,000 a season over 4 years.
Upside - Swans get Tippett and lose nothing. No club in their right mind would pay $1 million for one season knowing the player will be unhappy and leave at the end.
Downside - If Tippet doesn't love playing for Sydney he can up and leave at the end of the year and Swans would be the laughing stock of the comp. Also it's probs bending the rules although I don't see how what Luke Ball did was much more ethical.
Is the above hypothetical possible?
