It happens but clubs need to lower their fees, it can be done if a player is intending not to sign a contract and go in a free.......the club selling will see 200k as an example as better than nothing.
There is always a possibility that none of them intend signing a contract with us but I wouldn't say it's 100% the case with 3 of them.
It's currently a shall we do this or that with the need still to strengthen come January or pushing on with contract renewals.....this is where the incompetencey of the owners have left us and it all falls down to their poor planning and organisational skills because they don't involve themselves enough. |

The owners are the guys who control things regardless to what is said by some, they dictate the budget with both wages and fees.
The team is left short with a little budget left, it's done to cut costs and I fully understand that but there is a massive concern given the amount we have brought in over the last 7 years in player sales but yet we still find ourselves in this position.......it cries clear organisation, we have seen this and most notably last summer's absolute clusterfook of a transfer window when we signed 2 right backs even with us already having Naughton on the books and then followed up with signing 3 left backs!
The owners need to be more involved and realise that losing Cabango and Darling especially will cost the club financially and on the playing field.
Blaming chairmen and others employed by the owners will always lead back to the owners, they picked them and they hired them so it always starts from the top down. |

The guys in charge certainly have a lot to answer for.....football economics is just an excuse for poor planning. .
January will need to see big movement and will certainly highlight the club's planning especially of our 2 main centre halves have not signed a new contract......it could certainly create an headache if we are in a good position in the league or God forbid in a bad one. Just like the lack of squad strength, I would suspect the club are prepared to take the route of 'let's see how it goes' instead of getting things in place and cementing their words of having plans moving forward. |

If no one considers buying them, we are then going to lose them for free if they don't sign a contract.
It will cost us as much or more to replace.
As it stands, we have no senior centre half under contract past the summer...........that is not only a massive job off the pitch but a far bigger one to sort on the pitch.
We were left short in the transfer window, we are now being left short in a very important position due to lack of thrust within the boardroom. If as you suggest that we can get 2 out of 3 on new contracts then your post really heighten the lack of panning of the decision makers.......i do question the 2 out of 3 suggestion though.
Club has made better strides the last few months but the grand reality is that they are still a million miles from being a well planned unit. |

Awfully managed by the club considering they said there would be more planning. I can understand one player out of contract come the summer but 2 main centre halves is an absolute mess.
We surely have scope to get atleast one tied down to a longer contract. I think its a no brainier if we have to tie down 2 out of 3........thanks Liam 👍 |

We wouldn't get a penny for any of them if they left at the end of the season. Development fee by christ 🙈
If you know as much as you claim in this post then the development fee line just put the whole post in the bin for me. |

So the plan was to bring in another 2 before the deadline shut, this would have been in and around 10-16k a week extra.
As weak as we are, I would now rather they use that money to go towards new contracts for Cabango and Darling........its not ideal but contracts for these 2 are the main priority at the moment. |

Regarding free agents.
It appears that free agents are getting picked up as seen with Aaron Connelly going to Sunderland. We can't let time drag on in hope that no one gets injured and expect the free agents to still be there when the injuries occur(hopefully they won't).
Get Andre Gray in on a contract until the end of the season and be done with it. |

Gave an indication I believe that there is talk in contracts but not at a stage where they were hoping to wrap it up......although he did state(in a round about way) that there might be something in the pipeline soon.
Interesting to see that he mentioned free agents once again, it suggests that he is clearly still not comfortable with numbers and certain areas.....a left footed winger and Striker are the key concerns. |

Lets be fair, over the years many of us have had disagreements and little arguments......i would keep very open minded about coming across people face to face and wouldn't rule out getting on with them when sat down with a pint.
But I think the majority of us know a wrong one when they post on here. |

Good to see Kyrell back on the scoresheet and playing again.
Talk of contracts recently, club need to sort his out as its also up in the summer and seem to be messing about with this one also.
Can see another Al-Hamadi situation here. |

OK.
I was encouraged in one cup game where he got his head to a cross that he really had no right to get too. granted he nearly headed it for a throwing but I he done well getting to it and I could see the power in his neck muscles in doing so.
Guy has clearly had very little training and game time since the end of the season.
Not a regular starter with his national team and didn't return to Bordeaux due to their financial issues so had no pre season.
I hope you are wrong as I am sure you are.....lets give him a bit of time hey. |

Jesus christ, I think it's the first time I have agreed with you but I certainly believe that they will improve.
Get Vipotnik facing the opposition goal with decent service and he will get goals. |

Seems to be the obvious choice as this stage.
He is big, strong and seems to have some creativity coupled with the fact he has 2 goals this season, if he can get unto double numbers then given his age then teams will come looking. |

McKenna clearly is a very talented young guy in management, some will just be better than others even if their ships sail side by side.
Martin will certainly have a couple of things to take his mind off things when/if he loses his job anytime soon 😂 |

I don't think you can get away with being a fraud in the higher levels of football in this country and certainly a fraud doesn't get a team promoted to the championship.
I see his downfall, he is a young manager and will certainly make mistakes as he has but currently he is a young manager who is managing in the premiership with a team he got promoted.
I see and understand the stick he gets from some quarters but the massive issue we have regards Martin and his time here was it was made to be a battle of Martin v Cooper.
The way I see it, most promoted teams into the Premier league, if those teams don't adjust quickly(most don't) then the fall guy will always be the manager. Southampton will see themselves in a higher regard as they have been in the premiership prior and will be quicker to get the axe ready......other teams will be a bit more modest and have empathy for the situation and will stick to the plan.
That's my opinion on it.......we all like to be right but it's not always the case. |

50 points took the last relegation place last season but that's high to previous seasons.
If you are struggling then it's keeping atleast level with points per game.
I think we can look at minimum 5 points from the games in listed in original post. |
