That sounds a pretty convincing argument to me!

Will Glenn Murray still be a Brighton player for the first game at the Amex?
- Thread starter Bring back Bryan wade!!
- Start date
That sounds a pretty convincing argument to me!
I thought those figures went up? 4 million for the Championship and 1 million for league 1
I think that kicks in in 2012/13.

Fair enough, I was just looking at the value of the TV contract, and ignoring the 'solidarity' payment.
There is talk of the PL giving the FL extra cash for changing the formats of the playoffs, so that the team finishing 18th in the PL and 3rd,4th,5th from the FL would contest the final place.,

Thought he would be staying, but the longer this drags on the more I'm believing he'll be off to pastures new. Really hope he stays as he has been awesome this season. Can't see him not starting being an issue as we have lots of games and other strikers in form
Would you say the same if the Albion finished 6th in the Championship?

Will murray be good enough if we go up to make the starting 11?
He is much more likely to be good enough for the Championship than any of our other strikers.
On all evidence so far he is easily a class above Barnes, Wood and Sandaza. Even if Murray stays we need another quality striker to cut it in the Championship ... if we get there.

maybe the deciding factor will be whether we are promoted, an opportunity for Glenn to play in championship would be the pinnacle of his career. I t would probably affect how much we would be willing to pay him, club and player playing wait and see

I think he will be, he'd be stupid agreeing a contract now and it makes more sense for him to wait and see if we are looking likely to get promoted into the championship before agreeing a new contract as he will be in a stronger position and be able to get more money and a better deal nearer the end of the season. I think he's just biding his time waiting to see how we fare and then getting himself a better contract just before the end of the season.

Didnt the play offs start with the the lowest placed team in the division above that had not been relegated taking part in the lower divisions play offs and this idea was scrapped.

Yes, remember watching Leeds v Charlton from the league above in the late 80s. 3 pounds to get in as well...

If I knew that was rule before the season started then no. I imagine I would feel the same as I would if we finished 7th under the current system.

It's about agents and negotiations too, so would they play across the table like a poker game? I doubt that.
"let me discuss your offer with my client" is not considered unreasonable, and I imagine the waiting game is all part of the "looking at our options" sort of statement, as the player might wait to see if he gets other interest aka bargaining power.
All conjecture I realise, but not outlandish I don't think.

Any contract could be written with clauses for promotion or 'get out clauses' if we are not promoted and have a reasonable offer from a championship side - so do not see a problem there.

Who would get the surplus £48m if the 18th team won the playoff?

Although he is our best striker not sure we could rely on him to produce enough goals if we are promoted to the Championship.
It is understood he has yet to sign a new contract, but has he been offered one?
