With Baird, I gather much more recent. Not disagreeing with you on how we might feel about it, though. Purely my guess based on nothing much, but: I felt it was a bit too coincidental that Darren Bents contract extension was announced, rumours straight away came out saying Mel and rowett were not happy, days later Sam Rush was sacked. Not sure if anyone picked up on Darren Bents tweet with 3 thumbs up and laughing faces, just after the contract extension was announced, which to me seemed like a jibe at getting one over on the club with the sneaky extra year. My gut feeling is the extra year was triggered by rowett, but he didn't know about it Until Bents agent was on the phone saying see you next year. Rowett would prefer to say it was done in Jan and only just announced, rather than saying he accidentally triggered it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That seems unlikely - They explained very simply that the terms of the contract were fairly standard - If they play in enough games they get an extra year - Rowett stated that yesterday Everyone would have know that clause and Pearson and Smacca would have know about them when choosing their sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I don't think it's in GR's character to mince words and dance around the issue. He says that himself ("I'm not going to dodge the issue, I'll tell it like it is...") and I think that's why he's struck up such a good understanding with MM. I really believe that he genuinely thinks we will be up there next season. BTW "one" of the pre-season games will comprise 2 90 minute games! That's how thorough GR's and Derby County's pre-season will be. Yes, 2 games on the same night. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for the rowett bit. i bet once he'd played 20 games it was automatic. the timing seems to be very significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bent made his 23rd league appearance of the season on 21st Jan v Reading, so the timing certainly fits with the party line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
