I think I recall that unless you match or beat the current salary with a contract offer – you will not get a payoff from a new club. If so, the Bedeau decision was the only logical one to take.
Interesting that a couple of months ago Cox praised McAtee’s attitude in training. I suggested a few weeks ago that Cox might want to see if he can get the best of a guy who has oodles of potential. It’s a big decision.
As for Hallam, this must surely be a pay reduction. If he is the only injury-prone player to survive the cut – it may be a risk worth taking but only if medical advice has offered a positive outlook for the future. Good player in there.
An element of risk with this pair – yes – but if it is just two players out of the squad and one out of the two comes off …
The thing about McAtee was that Hurst played to his strengths – mebbe Cox would like to try that too.
