Player contracts update (No news)

[Finchley Seagull]

On the official site. Talks still ongoing.

 

[Ernest]

How long does it take to say f*** off you're useless and got us relegated

 

[Trigger]

Dick Knight said himself it would all be sorted by Wednesday...

Obviously he meant a Wednesday in July after his summer holiday to Spain?...

Very good

 

[sir danny cullip]

I saw that earlier and thought it was strange as it says they have been in contact with all the players but race doesnt seem to know anything. There must be someone to blame here someones LYING

How long does it take to say bend over and drop'em Dick. I've got a bet to make good on?

 

[Bob!]

I think Mr Knight has problems with the concept of time.

The outcome of discusions over the Managers future would be released in a few days. That took over a week.

 

[Theatre of Trees]

May depend on whether the player's agent is available.

 

[blockhseagull]

Why does Dick set himself deadlines and then always fail to meet them.

He would be better saying f*** all

Or saying a week when he thinks it will be a 3 days.

 

[B.W.]

Typical lack of urgency from DK... too slow getting rid, therefore too fcuking slow yet again finalising budget available for new acquisitions... meanwhile, other clubs active in the transfer market (again!)... fcuking useless...

We should be used to it by now...

 

[blockhseagull]

Must be honest, don't understand why it is taking so long

Surely if they are being released then we don't need to involve agents.

As for the players who we do want to keep, surely we can announce we have offered them contracts and are discussing terms.... if we then don't come to an agreement well thats a different story.

 

[Superseagull]

I think the plan is to announce the result of the contract talks for all 9 players at the same time. Not quite sure what this achieves other than drag the whole process out a bit longer.

One announcement will be sufficient, rather than announcing news in dribs and drabs. So it would be better to wait for everything to be agreed on.

We might even be checking on the market to see if we can get replacements, before signing some on again...

 

[Seagullible]

It's all gone quiet from Race/Tank. Maybe they had been told to keep quiet and an announcement will be made officially on all parties later today

 

[graz126]

its says annoucement in next few days on official site now.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Maybe the "ongoing talks" is a sign that a contract is a two-way thing.

If anyone thinks that a contract of employment is simply a thing handed out by an employer to a grateful employee, they are still living in the middle of the nineteenth century.

Why blame DK for any delay in the announcement?

I congratulate the players and their agents for rolling their sleeves up and getting involved in the talks - which will no doubt "ongo" for as long as it takes.

[blockhseagull]

Seems strange to me.

If any contract talks become protracted over a week or so, does that mean we are still kept waiting..... first time i have ever known it to be done like this.

It's normally we have offered a contract to x and y

The rest have been released
