Came out of nowhere that one but delighted with it.

We are giving new contracts to folk who don’t need them, which shows clear intent to keep players that are in demand.

Where will the doom mongers go with that crystal clear sign of ambition?

‘we squandering money man he was on a long deal’ haha

Not only that it's rewarding players for doing well, prove your worth to the team and take a step up and you are rewarded financially whether you have years on contract or not!

All will help players join and stay
 
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

I’m not sure he’s quite after “prem style wages”.

As I’ve said I understand both sides of the argument. That’s just football though people give contracts to their best players whether they’re injured or not. It’s not as if he’s on £100k and it’s a huge risk. He’s arguably the best striker in the league and he’s on peanuts at the minute.

Please define peanuts, do you know his salary?

Totally agree. It makes perfect sense if the model is to develop talented players, to keep topping the contracts up when deserved. The club ensures that when/if offers come in they're at the premium level and you keep the player, who is an asset both financially and on the pitch, happy. Everyone is a winner. Ross Stewart being the anomaly, although there are plenty of mitigating factors there, which have been done to death on here.

He is on " peanuts" because he chose to be and that should not be forgotten. He should sue his agent if his achilles doesn't heal properly, which is by no means a certainty.
