Its all well and good saying that we should be dropping in the option to extend on all contracts, but like anything else we are only 1 of the negotiating parties.
If I was a player I would fight tooth and nail to keep that option out because in effect its saying that if you overperform you will play for an extra 1-2 years below your market rate. You want me to stay 4 or 5 years give me a 4 or 5 year contract not one hedged to your advantage.
I know we only give a shite about the club side, but it takes 2 to negotiate.
