Eh!

Not true!

It works both ways.

1st thing though do you think Edin or whoever did the contracts over recent years put a relegation clause in or agreed to one?

Relegation Clause should work both ways if not we could be in trouble. Players should be triggered a decrease in wages if relegated.

Some players will be allowed to leave for free or reduced transfer value

However, to say players won't care is off the mark. Loan players might not as they go back to the clubs but players contracted to the club might soon have to take a reduced wage- Is that something you would like?

The earliest thing is the say players are not trying or don't care. If someone isn't bombing around at 100mph they don't care. RUBBISH! We played well over the Xmas period then our manager lost his bottle against Barnsley and started losing the players in my mind and unfortunately we haven't recovered since then. Also our owner needed to splash more cash in Jan but to be fair to him the signings made in Jan made no sense.

The players are trying but some just lack quality and our team/squad is vastly unbalanced that lacks strength and pace like Bowyer highlighted.

 

relegation clause or not, I genuinely can't get my head around why our team don't seem to give a toss. they turn up and phone in their performances every week, ambling round the field, showing no fight, barely breaking a sweat and getting handily beaten every week... if they don't want to be here, then the smart thing, you'd imagine, would be to put themselves in the shop window by playing well but they aren't even bothering with that.

they'll be in for a shock when they realise there is no takers for them in the summer and they have to stay here.

 

It genuinely depends on the wording. There won't be standard wording in every contract but it could be something of the nature of 'if an acceptable bid comes in' or it could be 'a notional bid/amount' of the kind of Doyle and O'Donnell.

They usually come from suggestions/request from the agent and then it will depend on how firmly the club push back or how confident they'll be that they'll stay up. Arguably, we might have been rather bullish at the start of the season and agreed to terms that were more in the players favour (although given the size of some of the wages it might not be so bad actually)

 

Some clauses fix wages depending on other factors too @Dennis - may be relegation, appearances in the case of a younger player, international honours &c. The days of a basic contract are gone really it's a bit of a wild west, players will ask for all sorts, just depends on how firm (or desperate) the clubs are.

 

No doubt Mr Rahic won't have put in any relegation clauses in any of the contracts as he was so full of himself and thought we were play off material.Championship manager has a lot to answer to

 

You've either misread, misunderstood or misquoted my post.

Nowhere did I say we needed a full team of "midgets".

I would however suggest we also don't necessarily need an entire team of giants.

 

I didnt say that was what you called for, just the approach of prizing ability over athletic attributes which you did call for has left us with a team of technically adept midgets.

 

Only we've got neither. The squad lacks physicality as well as, for the most part, genuine ability.

 

Yep. In a team of giants there's never room for any "technically adept midgets". Sorry Mr Messi, you'd never be good enough for league two.

I could be more realistic and throw Nakhi Wells at you but it seems we're already in silly season with your replies.

 

Did I really post any of that? Feel free to post the quotes as I've a feeling you can't.

For the record though, if you made me choose, I'll have Wells every time.

 

Article in T&A this morning ringing a few alarm bells for me. Suggestion seems to be that Todd's contract will not be renewed for next season if (as seems most likely), we end up in league 2. Are we going to provide Bowyer with the experienced support he needs for success, or are we going to do it on the cheap and hope for the best with Drury as his number 2?

 

I don’t think it means that it was talking about the whole backroom staff I am 100% sure Todd will be here if he accepts the contract

 

I would of thought that Bowyer would not be the kind of person to look after himself. He brought Todd to the club and I would like to think he protects him and he gets a contract.

Think if we're having this issue with coaching staff then we better get use to most of the contacted players staying.

 

We have to many coaches anyway manager and assistant plus fitness coach and part time goalkeeper coach is all that is required

 

Agreed

 

We will all have to wait and see. No point in sweating it out just yet. Cost cutting will have to take place, that is for sure. However, I think if GB wants an assistant coach he will get one.

 

Which backs up my point. Cheers.

 

He will be contracted to a league two team next season us. Let’s hope he can achieve two promotions on the trot

 

Are you basing this on Evans' tactical ability? Or that he screams and shouts a bit?
