The two new young lads signed recently, Ryan Cassidy and Tom Allan could well fit the mould too. The important thing is to keep them signed on longer contracts so that if any other club comes in with a bid then we would get compensation for them if they leave. I think that we managed to keep Jordan Clarke and Callum Johnson longer than we would have had they not been under longer contracts. So we have done well out of both of them even if Callum follows Jordan in leaving for nothing. We benefit either way by getting a fee if they are still under contract when they leave or they stay that bit longer and we benefit from having good players for longer! We don’t want to go back to players on just one year contracts and lose out like we did with Windass and Crooks! The club under the guidance of Andy Holt and with all the improvements made in infrastructure is in a much better position to get players to sign up for two or even three year contracts than just a few years ago.
ON STANLEY ON.

Once we leave the EU with a few tweeks and liberal interpretation of UEFA/FIFA rules combined with the Covid effect on the market British clubs should be able to revert to an almost pre Bosman regime where you can offer a player a contract with a rolling option which means he always has a value to the club and cant simply walk away at the end of a contract.

i wouldn.t panic just yet. can see a season long loanee one coming in from a championship or premier league club before the season starts. just hope its a season long and not one that finished in the new year where we have to start all over again. as a club we have done quite well in keeper development when they come here which is a help.

Isn't the Bosman ruling now incorporated in UEFA rules and so would still apply?

Let's be honest we weren't that good at the back last year when Okupa was at left back the other 3 were 1st choice so you tell me Hughes one of my favourite,s but was caught for pace quite a lot, it's Coleman who wants replacement,s .

Twenty Eight · 23-08-2020, 11:58

Okupa ?

Strange one this Tomlinson has far as I,m aware was still under contract at Mansfield but had been suspended by Cougflan the manager for an icidennt regarding a fight outside a pub, maybe been told to keep fit or find a club or has been released without it being in the public domain but he hails from Burnley so could be any of those, was highly rated at Blackburn making a handful of first team appearances but could he carry a bit of baggage what some won't tolerate?
