I would imagine it would be more like if he wanted to stay,but i think 2 years would suit.

2 years. Then build a proper team around him from the back.

I'd offer him the opportunity of two contracts, one for if we stay up and one for the one that he'd end up signing, for when we go down. 2 years.
If I were him, after the shenanigans of this season I wouldn't sign it though. I'd wait and see what the retained list at the end of the season looked like and who the manager was going to be. I wouldn't sign it until we had a long term manager in place who made it clear he wanted me here.
Is that too long an answer?

No, but I think you've kind of answered why he (or anyone) hasn't been offered a contract yet.
The fact that this is the case would, to me, say that everyone (not just some) on the retained list is going to be offered a lesser contract if we go down. Could be wrong though.

What do you mean by the 'extension option'...?
Not sure! But something like this:
The third year to kick in automatically dependent of number of appearances in second year.

Got you.
Didn't think that these things were that popular amongst supporters. Or at least amongst NSCers.

I wouldn't want it to become like an old pals act, but I assume if the 'bar' is set reasonably high and it is attained the player must still 'have it' to warrant at least another year.

Downside is that a manager could be seen by the player, towards the end of a season, to not be playing him because he was close to triggering the automatic renewal. When, in fact, it's just that the manager thinks someone else can do the job better. More dressing room unrest.

Yes, can't really disagree. I guess it's quite a juggling act.
Do we commit to the player now, or take our chances at seasons end scenario.

If I have got this right, I think that the only thing about one year extensions are that they are a guaranteed third year offered at the existing rate of the contract's first two years, as opposed to a new contract offered at a possible reduced rate (not uncommon at the Albion). I suppose that they generally work best for players coming to the end of their careers.
