Beastie Russell Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Hopefully there isn’t a Nisbet type clause in there, that allows him to move for nothing, even though he’s under contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.R.FC Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 That is excellent business. Assuming he keeps developing and stays injury free there is no way he will still be here in 3 and a half years at the end of this new deal. However, we are now in a very strong position to get a good deal for the club when he goes. Great to see the club has learned its lesson from the Bates fiasco with the way they have handled Bowie and Tait. If we could somehow get Hendry to agree to an extension next... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That clause was the only way Nisbet would've signed that contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine if Barry Smith had handed out a 2 year contract on Nisbet given his then record... the sheer seethe that would have generated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he rocked up to Starks it would have been a brave manager that handed out a 2 year deal to a guy who's career high at that point was being the first footballer to put a penalty kick into geosynchronous orbit. After it turned out he was decent, I think we did out best to get first refusal on the basis of going up. No way he was signing anything that handed Rovers any type of veto on his next move. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a mistake looking back at it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lang Toun Lad Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 It wasn't a mistake. We took a chance and it didn't work out yet it was the correct decision at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevoraith Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Agree, we can’t say the contract he signed was a mistake when the alternative would have been him not signing a new contract with us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumswall Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Pretty much agreed with everything, everyone has said. My entire point is with hindsight, mistakes were made. Not signing him up to a longer deal initially was a mistake, in hindsight. Negotiating a deal including such a clause (in hindsight) was a mistake, even if it was a necessity at the time. I'm not bashing whoever made the deals. I'm bashing our luck more than anything. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect that there have been some enquires and this action is both Dylan’s way to thank the Rovers and a way for him to get some assurance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But on the other hand, you could say you were lucky to buy a player with such a poor record for him to then do you a very good turn for a season. I don't think anyone saw that coming. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’d be playing in the championship atm and Dunfermline would’ve been relegated last season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
