If anything that’s a positive.

 

[bum_chinned_crab]

Double post.

 

[Des Head]

If anything that’s a positive.

As long as it's Dawson who didn't want it.

No, it means we weren’t stupid enough to agree to it in our current predicament.

Of course Dawson wanted it, it’s a club close to his heart offering him an extra 18 months salary. Every single one of us would want it in that position.

Nope, we've kept him, that's neutral. The only positive in this scenario is for Dawson who probably has a future club.

Agreed.
And there's no way I would want us offering him that long a deal.

Nope, it’s positive cos it means we’re actually thinking about on-pitch matters. That’s more than a lot of us expected.

 

[Stockholm Tiger]

Really? I would he'd be great in League 1 next season and then League 2 the season after.

I've just agreed with 3 of your posts in a row BCC I think that's a record.

Itll soon pass.

Dawson was always going to be gone at the end of this season, it was only hanging on to him until then that mattered.

If Forest think he’s worth that then more fool then. Dawson is entirely within his rights to do everything to get that move.

Exactly. I can’t imagine anyone would seriously want him as our first choice centre back next season with a further 2 years to run. Forest must be desperate / insane / both.

'On pitch matters' for whose benefit? Our 'on pitch' squad has been decimated through lack of foresight.

I expect nothing.

Wasn’t he doing some coaching for us? I thought we were lining him up as a back room stalwart.

I'm surprised so many people are taking the 2 1/2 year deal thing seriously, it only came from an 'as I understand it' tweet from Burnsy.

I’ve not seen any other length of deal mentioned.

Anyway, even if it was an 18 month deal - the minimum they’d offer him - he’d be mad not to try and take it!

It was odd when mentioned that we'd only offered 1 year.

1. Surely it would be 6 months or 18 months?

2. He's already got a contract for 6 months.
