CallumPar Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Article up on club website confirming we turned down a 6 figure fee for Edwards. Also seems to confirm he’s out of contract in the summer though… not good business if his contract isn’t extended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairly certain that it's been confirmed on here and by the club, we have an option of another year and will be taking it up. I don't know the T&C's of all that but sounds like we could still get a decent fee for Josh in the summer. Depends what we do between now and then I suppose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1885 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I'd have bit your hand off for 150k for Edwards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That man should have been carried shoulder high out of EEP, instead he probably pulled his hat down and collar up to sneak out in case he was verbally and maybe even physically attacked. I don’t think the Germans are a bad fit for us, and I’d bet my left baw Ross carried out vigorous checks on them before allowing them to take over. The thing I hold onto most is these guys are very successful businessmen in their own right, and will be very capable of making something out of this latest project/hobby. They are clearly hitting a few stumbling blocks, but they’ll learn from it and will start to get it right eventually. IMO, we just have to hold our nerve and not start a witch hunt like we seen happen to Ross. If it turns out I’m wrong I’ll say so, but I think these guys will take us far higher than we expected. Ross McArthur was utterly done in and running on vapour just before he left. It was him who had originally outed the issues back in September 2012, then led the take over from Masterton and eventually took on the running of the club. He worked for nothing for almost a 10 year period putting in countless hours to the detriment of his personal life. He'd already decided he was going before those anonymous cuntz gave him hassle, but that put the tin lid on it. He didn't want any fuss when he left to pull his life back together, but they should have had a statue erected of the man because without him we'd have had no club (imo). I don't think he's a diety mind, he's just a thoroughly decent man. Edited February 5 by North West 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't he's a diety mind, he's just a thoroughly decent man. When Airdrie went to the wall, the directors left one by one until only Joey Rowan remained. He died during the Administration and I’m sure the stress was a factor. He never had any issues with the fans giving him grief as he was very well known to the fans and very well liked, but another cautionary tale of what it can lead to. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would also seem really stupid for us to put an article out, saying he’s only under contract until summer 2024, if he’s had an extension. Having said that, that’s about the quality of output I expect from our club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CallumPar Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 6 minutes ago, Salvo Montalbano said: Wasn't there a comment in the Courier article about the bid and the New Zealand defender that said we had triggered the extension? Yeah, there was. But the courier also reported (numerous times) that we were about to announce Wotherspoon in the summer. Until an extension is announced by the club, I wouldn’t take it as ‘official’. I would expect the football club to know when players are contracted to - regardless of what’s been rumoured/reported elsewhere. If the club are putting out articles saying he’s contracted to summer 2024, why should we believe the courier over them? I opened the article expecting confirmation of the extension and instead saw that we’re saying he’s out of contract this summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well over Par Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 (edited) I was under the impression we had triggered another year hence why he never went to Barnsley? I also heard the bid had been accepted ?? Edited February 5 by Well over Par 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t be bothered looking but if you read McPake’s last four or five interviews on the official site it’s mentioned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoBNob Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 (edited) If we trigger Edwards extension there's every chance it might trigger other things, whether that's a bonus, increase in wages, release clause etc. We know Edwards has an extension clause, but it wouldn't make much sense to trigger it until as late as possible. In the meantime I'm sure the club are trying to convince him to sign a longer contract. Don't see an issue in the club not announcing anything yet if there's nothing to announce? As for RM we wouldn't have a club without him and the abuse he suffered goes down as extremely embarrassing, from what I remember I think there wad a fan display at the final game for him? I doubt it rectified all the wrongs but hopefully it helped. I'm not sure if he's coming back to games, I'd imagine he would've been burnt out something rotten.
