But when they sign those contracts in the first place are the club not taking a chance on them ? They aren't million pound players when they first sign, otherwise they wouldn't be signing. As the youth scheme in this country shows the potential of players at a young age rarely materialises. Many of them end up on the scrap heap. Like you said with the club on a more financial footing the club may take more of a chance on the odd one or two, but that can only happen going forward now, the current crop can only be asked and persuaded to sign again, that depends if they listen to those who have given them a chance or those who want to make money out of them
