Of course he wants two years. Club may try to get away with 12 months + option for further year after he has played say 30 games.
Wages unlikely to be an issue.

Every player has his price, but in Pett’s case the club would be very shortsighted not to agree to whatever he wants. In 5 months has become the soul of the club and most critical member of the squad.

Only 2 other players in the NL at his level as distributors last season. Hartigan at Barnet and Booty at Gateshead. If we aren’t prepared to meet his demands, then someone else will. With Salford and York probably at the head of the queue. Unless it turns out that we are 90% of the way down the line to agreeing a deal with Booty, would be absolutely criminal to let Pett go.
