Excellent news, and he’s grown to love us too.:emoticon-0115-inlov:biggrin:

What's not to love? :emoticon-0103-cool:
 
Cant help feeling that our 6th place finish last season will be a burden for this season. If we finished 12th last season and finish 8th-10th this season we would all be happy. Now, If we finish anything below 6th this season there will be pitchforks out for some people, the whole setup isnt working and asking for Stuart Donald to take over the reigns again.
Anything over 69 points is an improvement on ladt season
 
Oh 100% if it’s careless. I see it from from both sides, the club are trying to protect themselves but if you were in Stewart’s shoes you’d be thinking I fired the goals to get us promoted, was scoring nearly a goal a game in the championship and now I’ve got clubs offering X amount of wages whilst my own club won’t offer me a new contract on less than what I’m being offered elsewhere until I prove I can stay fit which is running his contract down even further. It’s probably a kick in the teeth for him.

Personally I don’t really care who stays or goes if the moneys right, I get more of a buzz out of finding someone better to replace them but if I was in his shoes I’d probably be a bit pissed off.

He has less than 12 months on his contract and he’s 26/27, his next deal is an important one for him and his family he’s been on ****e money most of his career. If I was in that position I’d want the security.
How can a pkayer who has played a third of a season in the championship and no hugher be pissed off we are not offering him prem style wages whilst injured and may never be the same player? Does’nt wash with me. Has he ever said this? Has his agent? Or is it just conjecture
