If the play off final is 10th May and the team gets together again for preseason end of June begin July a matter of a few weeks it would be crazy to have your team on a 44 week contract. A no stability or continuity within the team. What incentive is there to a player if he knows that at the end of the season he hasn’t a job. If, like we normally do, we do not offer new contracts until the season has ended, the whole team could reject new contract leaving about eight weeks to put a team together from scratch. I cannot see any reasonable player signing to come here for 44 weeks when other clubs, may offer less wages but offer long term contracts. Defiantly a recipe for disaster.
Someone please correct me if I’m wrong and misremembering, but at the Trust meeting didn’t Michelle say some of the players who are out of contract will be more likely to accept lower wage offers if the contracts are longer?
