If it was me, I wouldn’t take the chance it might be me next and be off like a shot. The estimate is that there'll be 200+ pro footballers looking for a club just now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surreyowl Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Probably has a long term view of becoming a player coach, then eventually manager, bringing our u18s/u23s through to a decent standard, getting promoted and having a job for life like Bullen has. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtawnyowl Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) Perhaps a bit of loyalty to the club. Agrees to sign a new contract so the club can sell him for a reasonable fee rather than lose him for f*ck all.

WalthamOwl Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Perhaps he has signed a new deal as a bit of loyalty, knowing he will be sold in the summer but will mean the club gets a fee for him rather than walking away for nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swfcjam Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 What I can’t understand is if we are that short of cash flow to pay players why not get season tickets, new shirts, corporate and sponsorship packages, Danny Wilson Toby jugs etc all on sale and available ASAP to bring money in? Also encourage us to spend with competitive pricing. If the owner came out and told us how bad it is and that he actually needs our money to help (going back on what he has said previously about fans money!) then fans would get on board and support the club.

TomtheOwl95 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Think Bannan is a rare case of some loyalty in football. Wednesday is the place where he's found a home, he's matured as a person and player. Met his partner, had a child, just proposed to said partner. Don't underestimate all that as a big factor. To go back to football, he's said himself about how much hearing the fans sing his name means to him and it's probably the first place he's had that consistently. When you feel valued you probably feel like you owe those valuing you something. Be it his services for next season or guaranteeing we get some kind of fee if we do sell him. I still think that will end up happening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Farrell Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I still don't understand why when on the brink of administration, we don't have any genuine sponsorship deals or commercial activity. Surely it can't just be for vanity that Chancer plasters his own name everywhere ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Owl Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 9 hours ago, Sham67 said: I can see that as a reason for the club offering him a new contract. I’m just baffled as to why with things being as bad as they are painted he would chose to sign a contract that’s never going to be honoured. If he's under contract we can sell him for a decent fee. 350k anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
