We also gave out 2.5 year contract to a player mid season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris1883 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 We actually find ourselves in a really challenging position: the goal for the season was a play-off spot, we are currently top of the league. We have some good championship players and a good few who could comfortably take a step up. For us as a team, we can't overly invest in championship level players (Daniel being an example), because if we take the step up you don't want to find yourself with a good number of players who may struggle and not perform. This must be really challenging for the management team because who should they sign now, and for how long? I can also pretty much guarantee the agents of many of our higher performing teams will be scouting about looking for deals for next season. I mean, if the likes of the Motherwell's, Kilmarnock's etc. offer players pre-contract agreements, they will be seriously looking at them and could you blame them for not looking at them. You also have the issue of the likes of Vaughn and Easton - I would love to see them on multi-year deals... but right now, how would you budget for these? Do you base it on going up? Strangely, I feel that these problems would be a lot less problematic if we were second or third! Above all, what we do seem to have is a group of players that have gelled and seem to be happy where they are. Hopefully this is a benefit when it comes to contract negotiations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of the 2 players you’ve mentioned Vaughan would be the one likely to stay I don’t think anyone else would take a risk on him because of his injury past especially on a long term deal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJimmyofNic Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 Half a season left to go and rumour mongers speculating whos been offered pre contract deals, when no-one knows what league they're going to be in. What's coming next a £2 million offer for Big Kev 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
