D'Jaffo Posted October 11, 2020 Author Share Posted October 11, 2020 Dunfermline have actually offered more longer term deals that we have albeit they have the Nisbet money to play with. There’s obviously no issue with clubs only offering 1 year deals but I find it bizarre that fans of clubs are so bothered by rivals offering longer deals. Just comes across as a wee bit jealous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked and only 2 teams in the Championship since April this year have not signed players on 2 year contracts , those being Morton and QOS , 3 teams have issued more 2 year contracts than us , Dunfermline, Dundee and Hearts , Raith and ICT just behind us 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, hopefully a couple of signings in before Friday. He might just have a point if the recent board comments weren’t being exaggerated to stimulate extra season ticket sales. Otherwise 2 year deals are a great idea and you get an edge over your rivals 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we are in any #imminent danger of going bust. Of course the sooner we get fans back in the better for all concerned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your own post in the squad threads says, Baird, Houston, Muirhead, Reading, Murdoch, Chalmers, Miller are all on two year deals (+ Paul Smith but I presume he's a kid earning buttons). I realise Houston signed a two and a half year deal on joining in January but as far as I can see the other 6 were all given out since Covid? Dunfermline are clearly spending German money / Nisbet money and Hearts aren't a realistic comparison for anyone at Championship level. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superhursty7 Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 So Ayr are looking after players by offering longer term deals to give them security, this benefits both the club and the players and that's seen as a bad thing I really don't get the hate over this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point still stands that the obsession from yourself and other fans is just plain weird. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
