A conversation yesterday with a good friend of Connors concluded he's been realistic about his worth and not inflating any demands. However the basic contract offer minus any bonuses renders no appetite to sign. Whether there's any movement on the current offer we shall see
And probably if footballers were offered a decent 'basic' the lack of add ons might not be crucial to signing. But when they are being offered peanuts, the add ons make that difference. Don't begrudge young men like Conor (Connor?) wanting to look after themselves, but looking towards City for that?? The actions of juniors and seniors recently suggests they're better looking elsewhere. And that leads nicely on to what exactly is happening to the parachute payments?
So looks like Ehab has given Adkins a budget of around £500,000 judging by the bids. Adkins has no chance is it January the last parachute payment comes in.
No no remember when we were ****ting on all Steve Bruce did it was pennock alonewho spotted him. No credit there no sir.
It's only go tgoing the last few years and already bore fruit. In the previous thirty years what did we have?
There is an interview somewhere, it was Pennock who knew about Bowen thru previous connections. It was Pennock who went and spoke to him, and Pennock who convinced him to sign. Steve Bruce just happened to be the manager at the time, Bowen would have signed for whichever club pennock was working at.
“I knew Tony Pennock (City’s current first team coach) because he’d played for me when I was manager at Newport,” said Beadle. “We’d stayed in touch and I’d mentioned Jarrod to him because a few clubs were showing an interest. “Tony watched him a couple of times and was very keen. Jarrod had offers from West Brom and Wolves but him and his Dad chose Hull in the end.
Dont know if anyone has said this but ive got a fear that enob will take the last payment then put us in Administration to give us -15 points as a parting gift
