With his dodgy background can’t really blame us initially giving him a short contract His sentence was probably a couple of months with us....like ******** community service 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fablon Dunlop Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 (edited) If this is the situation, then it is absolutely beyond bizzare. However, and please bare with me here. DM was recently interviewed and asked about him, the way he spoke made it sound like there was 'more to come' for MDL. Perhaps, just perhaps - DM liked the look of him, MDL liked the club and manager (he certainly played well enough to justify this) but Chansiri (wait for it) would only allow DM to sign him on a very short contract to prove his worth? Perhaps he was a little uncertain due to MDL past troubles? I dunno. I'm just trying to make sense of this COMPLETELY MENTAL CONTRACT OH PLEASE DONT LEAVE US MR. LAING. P.S - I don't think he will. He'll be offered a very nice contract after this. Edited January 20, 2022 by Fablon Dunlop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t believe we have let his contract run down so much, forward planning from this club is a disgrace Let’s be reyt we’ve probably had since last Saturday when his performance convinced everybody he was worth a longer contract to sort it. A full 5 days. Chill, sounds like we are offering him a deal it’s up to him if he wants to stay or not. Before last Saturday nobody would’ve battered an eyelid at this news. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post vulva Posted January 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2022 7 minutes ago, SallyCinnamon said: A 2 month deal though. Bizarre. 1 year I’d understand. But to sign him up for 2 months?! That is just asking for a club to come in and take him off us after a couple of good games. Nothing surprises me with this club though. Mental. He’s been a free agent for 6 months. He’s clearly damaged goods and we took a short term punt. It could have gone either way. It might still. Some people need to step away from the cookie jar and understand why a short term deal for us at that time made perfect business sense. People can’t complain the club is run poorly and also complain at what on the face of it was the right thing to do at that time. 8 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 We won't be making any mistakes with contracts they said. No players will get to the last month of their contract we want to keep they said, well run football club they said. Could not plan a p1ss up in a brewery, I don't know whose worse the bloke whose spend 3 months getting him match fit and giving him game time, or the Muppet sorting out the contracts. just when you thought we as a club could not sink any lower, along comes the next gaff.

flash Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Understand why we’d taken this approach considering his issues in the past /age. Wish we’d done the same with Berahino! I think he looks really good so I just hope we offer him a decent contract and don’t offer lesser terms (like we did with Batth) than Wigan and any others sniffing. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That a good argument but when you look at the deals for Berahino, Brown, Gibson, Sow etc that idea fall down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0114 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 What is bizarre here is the club gave itself no power. NML does bad = released NML does well = Player now holds the cards At least include a clause that means we can extend while the summer or something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was on trial for a month and we obviously saw enough to offer him a deal. But 2 months? Not sure that’s great business sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think in hindsight DM is perhaps being quite cautious here with players who have a history of problems. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
