Rammed79 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I'd rather get something than watch him walk off for nothing come the end of season as I'd be surprised if he signed a new contract for pittance which is what we would offer compared to elsewhere.

deanoakaram4life Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I’d rather him really be a part of something here and sign a new deal! You don’t play in front of 31,000 many times in the EFL, that’s for sure! Hopefully Hourihane and Mcgoldrick can convince him to stay!

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 If there are multiple offers on the table there is no chance Knight goes to Birmingham. Rubbish stadium, rubbish fans, basket case ownership and the new lot taking over the club don't look much better. There are much, much better clubs than Birmingham that will take night.

I personally like Bird and Sibley more, in terms of ability and potential. I do appreciate Knight’s energy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Trav Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I don’t think you need me or anyone to tell you that Knight isn’t going to Brum?they couldn’t afford his left foot. I’ll ask about Knight to my source though 48 hours, angieram, Ram-a-lama fa fa fa and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nogbad van 50 Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 I’m sure I read recently that Derby had asked Max Bird and Jason Knight to sign contract extensions otherwise they’d be sold in this window.It closes on September 1st so we have an interesting month looming!

He'd effectively have to take a pay cut to stay here, unless we offered a bumper contract for him in year 3. He'll be on less next year than this year by about 1500 quid a week based on previous contracts for Bogle etc -13.5 a week. nogbad van 50 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Bird is already contracted to 2024. Knight I think is 2023 which is a problem given EFL restrictions on wages. . nogbad van 50 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His impact on how the team plays has diminished over the course of the season too, although that’s not to say he hasn’t been excellent. If we got anything like £8million, then I’d be very pleased but it’s probably gonna be a bit less than that. Unfortunately he needs to move on for his career now too Also it’s worth saying that any decent fee for Knight means we probably won’t have to sell any youth players, who’s value will rise, until after takeover is hopefully sorted Who the * do you think is left in our youth team that's worth selling. Its not bird, sibley or Stretton. ThePrisoner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a stupid offer comes in then yes we'll have to think about it but I can't see it coming from them. Would be a really poor move for Knight as well in my opinion. I know that the club has had bids for knight 4 to my knowledge but that will grow before the transfer window shuts - I do not know how much they were either.

I believe there is restrictions either in the business plan that does impact bonuses and contractual benefits. It’s going to be very difficult for us to give him a contract, all things considered. jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives us a chance for Bird and Sibley, but Knight’s coming to the end of his contract too early. We could obviously try and negotiate with the EFL but the more success he has on an international level, the more difficult that makes life for us (ironically)!

I know we can't sign people on more than £12k a week but if we can't extend on existing terms, we're really stuffed as we also can't offer less than he is one now.

We need to push this as its a punishment too far As much as I want to see him stay, if the 2 Yr restrictions we have prevent that as he wants more money then he has to go, and it isn't a punishment too far, there are a lot of businesses that have lost money, it would be obscene if we were allowed to pay £750k/1m salaries so soon after screwing them, then there's the tax man! I am surprised the salary limit is as high as being reported at £12k, it really should be less imo, feels wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
