McRightSide Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Makes total sense until we have the confirmation of what division we'll be in You'd imagine that players don't want to commit either, so it makes it worthless even trying. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daavies; Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 ah yes, now we have decided to put the contract talks on hold. In comparison to the other times where we manage contract well throughout the season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elderly Owl Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I think it’s a bit harsh to put a contract out on all of them. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleSeven Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 No surprises at all for me in that article. We are just acting true to form. At least the whole of football is in turmoil so we just look ‘normal’ at the moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least the whole of football is in turmoil so we just look ‘normal’ at the moment. This is so true and I am in no way trying to say we haven’t been incompetent. However, football has changed for good. First covid and now this super league b0ll0x. Players at the top will earn more, players lower down, including the champ, will earn less. Clubs will also seek to protect cash flow beyond a year or so, so long term deals are not going to be as plentiful as previously. A player may be brilliant, but he can get injured in a heartbeat. It’s going to be tougher for the players in the next period, as well as the clubs. The grass may look greener, but they may well be in for a surprise when they sit down and talk numbers.

shezzas left peg Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I think I mentioned it when people where panicking about the contract situation before Pulis was announced The penney, sorry wrong one though its not a new thing Had finally and seemingly dropped with DC that we were staring relagation in the face. Hence why he brought Pulis in and why we didn't renew contracts, becouse all the big earners would financially cripple us even further. The fans where unhappy and angry about all the things going wrong on and off the pitch, which also probably why he gave Bazza a new contract to appease the masses and hopefully bring a bit of positivity back. Hopefully this is captain cluster-fcks light bulb moment. I've a feeling one of the reasons he's finally binging in a manager who likes to play football in Moore rather than dour, defensive hoof all, who coincidently already knows league one and what we will need to get out of there and promoted.

Is that a joke, I’m not Einstein but I suggest we start planning for league one. Unless of course the Greedy Six get kicked out and the leagues are re-shuffled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be very surprised if they actually did get booted out but it would be a laugh! No demotion and everyone moves up six places (so the whole top six go up).

Super league or not this club isn’t getting into the premier league anytime soon Cheer up, all we need is some excuse to kick out another twenty. Seriously though, the stance of the Greedy Six re Euro Champions League is the equivalent of us saying we're too big to get relegated and we want a guarantee it won't happen. IMO if the top teams in the EPL have such a financial advantage they ought to qualify for Europe every year (4-5 in CL and other 1-2 in Europa League). I don't like it that we're going into L1 but I do like that there is promotion and relegation based on merit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhForAnotherShez Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Still need to sort the U23&18s out regardless of division. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malek Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 We got owner who won't let anyone else decide on anything and he seems to be unavailable (or lost interest) to make all these decisions that should be key for the future of our club. So, no talks about new contracts are done, no talks with transfer targets, nothing... Talks about not knowing what division we will play in are nonsense.

Costello 77 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 A poster ( can't remember who but not a wum) said that there was a deal to buy the club but it was dependent on which division we're in. This fits in with the contracts situation viz those being (allegedly) dependent on which division we're in. Could there be a link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
