Out of contract players
Posted by Jamie Hand on 13/4/2025, 14:09:42
Anyone have a idea who is out of contract this summer?
The club are so secret squirrel with contracts and fees that it's hard to know anymore
Not that many are really worth keeping but interested regardless
I expect most who signed in the PL (including signing new contracts) signed for 3 years. It would make sense as it ties in with parachute payments and also although it's not disclosed in the accounts, would look consistent with the amortisation charge (not an exact science).
I believe that it's also fairly standard for the club to have an option to extend for one year. This helps protect the value in the player, even if the club is trying to move them on.
I think it's confirmed that Moses was a 1 year deal and I also don't think Pelly, Woodrow or Shea extended their contracts after promotion. Alfie I don't think did either, but if my assumption is right we would take the one year extension as he only signed in the season before promotion.
If we want to move on many of the others it will be difficult if they are still under contract as who would want to pay the wages?
Why would they be on 3 years as opposed to 2? 2 seems more usual and adds an element of caution knowing it was unlikely we would stay in the PL.
Personally If be happy to get rid of most of the squad ASAP. Even if they're good enough players we have a losing mentality throughout the club which needs shifting.Live justly, love mercy, perpetuate generosity, walk humbly.
I think actually 3 years is more usual as it gives a reasonable level of protection to both club and player. At the top end of the PL they might offer longer. Short term are more likely for older players or those who are more of a risk e.g. due to their injury record. Good job we don't have any of those.
In our case, after promotion we had a very good view of our minimum income over the next 3 years due to the parachute payments, so it would be reasonable to commit to costs over that period too.
Ok, fair reasoning. I would hope you're wrong though just in order to offload a load of dead wood.Live justly, love mercy, perpetuate generosity, walk humbly.
You can happy clap as much as you want mate. The cunt has been injury prone most of his career. It wasn't even a knee jerk signing. He was signed earlier in the summer, which means it was planned. That makes it even worse.
As I said, whoever suggested and said okay to signing him needs sacking.
People calling our players cunts when injured or just come back from injury and not up to speed.
I can't work out what Mengi has done for everyone to be giving him so much shit.
He played through an injury when he could have put his feet up. I was glad to see him back yesterday, I know he had a bad game, but he looked like a player trying too hard. This is no season for loving This is the season of pain
Agreed, but it's mostly just sounding off because let's be honest, it has been a crap season but it sounds like we hit a perfect storm. Unfortunately some of the ingredients for that storm were very much of our own making it seems. Not all, and in my opinion, not as much as is being made out but the club can't escape criticism.
What always makes me laugh is that there is a quite a high coincidence of those likely to call players cunts etc and those who have the biggest hissy fits when they think a manager or player is not showing us the fans enough loyalty . . .
Bloke who sits near me was absolutely convinced Baptiste prefers to be injured so he can pick up a salary and not have to play.
Funny how these people transfer their own ethics onto others.
Genuinely don't understand how people can't understand that players want to play, and it's probably quite a depressing thing for Baptiste to have lost so much of his career to injury.
I've heard the 3 years rumour (though probably on her) if he was signed on anything more than 1 then whoever is in charge of these things needs to be moved on before any players. Either they didn't bother checking his record or they were on crack when the contract was written up,tbh I'd hope it was the latter
Wow. That really would be a shining example of the club we have become. The Levy we ordered from Wish will continue to pick up his bags of silver though no doubt.
