Re: Contract expiry
All accepting of course that none of them think they are more important than the club (yes, I know, they are professionals, but the word "career" has firmly replaced what use to be "Job". ) Ambition is a fine and accepted thing, but a touch of loyalty always does it for me. It will be interesting to see....Que Sera Sera...The_Gun wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2024 9:23 amEach player is of course in a slightly different situation. Some, like Rico, Baxter, Toal and Sheehan are likely quite confident that they are Championship level players, and may be hesitant to sign new deals prior to the end of the season, even if we baked in significant wage rises for promotion.
The likes of Jones, JDC, Iredale and Williams would perhaps be more willing to commit to new deals sooner, as their ability to step up a level is less certain.

Re: Contract expiry
Figures for salaries in the Champo are what? 10-30 grand a week? vs League 1 at, I dunno maybe 4-10k per week? Your appreciation of my loyalty is only going to get you so far, TD. If I'm on 7 and offered 20, I'm probably taking the 20. That's nothing to do with whether the Club is more important than me or not.TANGODANCER wrote: ↑Thu Feb 22, 2024 10:20 amAll accepting of course that none of them think they are more important than the club (yes, I know, they are professionals, but the word "career" has firmly replaced what use to be "Job". ) Ambition is a fine and accepted thing, but a touch of loyalty always does it for me.

Re: Contract expiry
Super news. That leaves the following lapsing in summer 2025: Baxter, Coleman, Jones, Santos, Iredale, Dacres-Cogley, Williams, Sheehan. Next priorities presumably Santos, Sheehan and Baxter.sonicthewhite wrote: ↑Mon Mar 04, 2024 6:07 pmToal signs a new 3yr deal;

Re: Contract expiry
That's great news on Toal.
I imagine we'll likely have to find out which league we'll be playing in next season before we cam tie down Santos, Sheehan, and Baxter.

Re: Contract expiry
Aye, unless they accept twin-track contracts which pay more in the higher tier.nicholaldo wrote: ↑Mon Mar 04, 2024 7:42 pmThat's great news on Toal.

Toal is four years younger than Santos and Sheehan, and a few months younger than Baxter, who of course came from Chelsea and turned down Champions League football to come here. You’d imagine he would want promotion before extending, and might even request some sort of relegation release agreement.
Santos and Sheehan arguably more likely to stick around whatever division, but they’ll be aware they turn 30 by summer 2025 so this might be their last very good contract. Unless of course they lead us to the Premier…
Re: Contract expiry
Delighted with the Toal renewal, really deserved.
Baxter's deal's likely to be on the cards and probably in a good place given he seems to be happy with his time here. Depends on where we finish and how much that impacts his desires to progress. We certainly seem a good bet to be heading in the right direction and training him.
Would be nice to have Sheehan get a new contract, i'm sure they'll all be under consideration.
