Be interesting to see if they accept it, would set a marker for how much they'd take for Assombalonga.
Lansbury would be a decent signing if Snodgrass buggers off. Jackson Irvine at Burton would be cheaper option and has scored 8 goals this season
Snodgrass opens up, he doesn't sound too happy but he's remaining professional. He even said about asking Ehab. Good lad. ROBERT SNODGRASS last night revealed his reasons behind rejecting Hull City’s contract offer, writes Richard Sutcliffe. The Scottish international underlined his value to the Tigers with his eighth goal of the season in Friday’s 2-2 draw at home to Everton. Hull wanted to tie Snodgrass down to a new deal but he turned down the offer last month. Since then, Hull have activated a clause in his existing deal that means the winger is contracted to the club until June, 2018. “I am under contract,” Snodgrass told The Yorkshire Post. “But I rejected the offer they put to me (in December) because it wasn’t long enough or enough security for me and my family. I had to assess it, I will be open and honest about that.” Middlesbrough head a long list of clubs set to test Hull’s resolve to keep hold of their top scorer in January. By extending his current deal, however, the Tigers hope to keep hold of Snodgrass amid all this interest from potential suitors. Asked about the extension, Snodgrass added: “I will have to ask the owner about what went on there. What has probably happened is he has activated everyone’s year they had when first signed. “There have been no new proper negotiations. It has not been the best for myself. “What he has probably done is want to get everyone tied down for 18 months. I don’t know enough about it, he has just activated that from the last contract I signed.” Hull head to West Brom today hoping to end a seven-game losing run on the road. It will be the last appearance by Ahmed Elmohamady and Dieumerci Mbokani before the duo fly out to the Africa Cup of Nations, something that adds urgency to Hull’s need to bring in fresh faces. “January is a big month,” added Snodgrass. “We need fresh faces to create that competition and that buzz. Sometimes, those players can make the difference.” Two points from five games is a return that does not reflect the Tigers’ improved displays. Snodgrass insists this has to give Hull hope. “Everton was one of those nights,” he added. “We put in a good level of performance, but a lapse in concentration cost us. The performances (over the last five games) are night and day with the Middlesbrough game. That was a low point for everyone, including the manager.” Read more at: http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/spor...ert-snodgrass-seeking-more-security-1-8313424
Worrying that the players have had no involvement in the one year extension. Nice to see Ehab treats the players like he treats the fans. ****s.
I never understood why PB didnt give Altidore and Ghilas a few games together after the Bolton game as they looked like a good front two potentially
The link has probably been posted before - However just in case it hasn't - even Snodgrass is questioning how Ehab runs City...... http://m.hulldailymail.co.uk/robert...ity-contract/story-30023506-detail/story.html
He seems a bit thick if he doesn't understand how his contract one year extension option clause works
Ok the club should have told the players they were activating the option of the extra year, but come on these players all new what they were signing and were happy to sign there contracts at the time. He now wants more money and is not happy about the clause he agreed to when he signed.
He doesn't actually mention money, he just says the deal offered wasn't long enough, a lot of players in their prime don't want their contracts running out when they're 32. I understand they didn't even meet with Snodgrass or his agent over the new deal, it was just emailed to them. The players should have been told in person about their contract extensions and should be holding face to face meetings for new contracts, it's simply poor management.
