Deal to Blackburn is done. It’s promising we can afford to offer any players contracts though, perhaps a sign we could well avoid going under.

Is it?

 

[0321safc]

Is it?

Yes.

 

[Dilligaf60]

The Don flexing his financial might

Or bolting the door after the hoss has gone. “ well we tried to keep him, honest, look we’ve offered him a contract”

 

[Scootsie]

Yes.

Why have we offered him a new deal then?

 

[0321safc]

Why have we offered him a new deal then?

Saves face for Don - ‘well we tried’.

 

[Dilligaf60]

Why have we offered him a new deal then?

So Donald can try and kid us into thinking he wanted to keep him?

 

[Scootsie]

So Donald can try and kid us into thinking he wanted to keep him?

Possibly.

 

[Dilligaf60]

Possibly.

Well I can’t prove it obviously marra, but it wouldn’t surprise me one bit.

 

[Idlewild Mackem]

So Donald can try and kid us into thinking he wanted to keep him?

The likely explanation. Passing the blame, like the coward he is.

 

[Ashley In!!]

So Donald can try and kid us into thinking he wanted to keep him?

"We made an effort (with a week to go)"

 

[Dilligaf60]

"We made an effort (with a week to go)"

He really is as thick as a cumberland sausage

That’s all it is, he won’t sign he’s been fucked about and will get better money elsewhere.

 

[SAFCTEES]

Surely he'll have been offered this deal months ago? And not just within the last week??

 

[The Ghost of Arca]

Or bolting the door after the hoss has gone. “ well we tried to keep him, honest, look we’ve offered him a contract”

No doubt

 

[iansun]

Yes.

Is it not a token offer knowing that he's already gone

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

I think you're giving this mob too much credit mate

 

[Kenna]

I'd tell us where to go if I were him, we've fucked about for over a year regarding a new deal and only now with 13 days to go until it expires are we making any effort.

I reckon it's as a few suggested - so they can turn around and say they tried to keep him.

 

[Mboma]

Big Jon has wanted to see if we'd get promoted, We haven't and he'll have offers from sides in the championship with a wage rise. He was never going to be in a rush to sign a new contract here.

Why the fuck would any decent player want to stay in league one for a 3rd season?

He wanted to last summer.....
