Whilst i'd agree that £75k is a fair amount for a player of Paul's age,temper that with having to find a suitable replacement. We've shown the ambition with signing Craney, so if the sticking point in the contract negotiations is supposedly the length of the contract (i.e. the extra year) I hope that Eric recognises what a brilliant and influential player Paul has and will hopefully continue to be, reward his loyal service with a good pay rise,grant him the two year contract he wants and reward his loyalty with a testimonial season.

Money talks in these situations and i'd echo the sentiments of other's, if Muller's is offered a better deal than we can offer, then like others have said,he'd go with the blessing of the majority of all connected with the club. But before the club makes the decision to sell what could be considered as one of our main assets, I only hope that serious consideration goes towards how we'd replace a True Stanley legend.
