Depends on the contract. Some of them will be automatic based on things like appearances. kevinhectoring 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 4 minutes ago, MadAmster said: If an extension is triggered, surely, those players are retained unless we pay them off or can sell them or get a loan deal. Until such a deal is struck they remain retained, don't they? Correct, but they'd show on the retained list under a section for extensions. But my point is, if Warne had a blank slate, I'd imagine there might be some he would not have chosen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must have been some sort of “Trigger” in the contract of Elder . He is one of Warne’s favourites and PW busted a gut to get him on for a couple of minutes whenever he could . He did take a good corner when he came on one time .🤷🏻♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps Warne used Elder this season because…well…erm… he’s one of our players and contributed to our promotion this season.

Comrade 86 Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Bit off-topic, but on the subject of Elder, I do think there's still plenty to come from him. I concede we've only seen flashes of ability to date, but I've a hunch he may yet prove to be a far better player than some credit. He's obviously had his issues this season, but I'd not be surprised to see a different player if he can put his injury niggles behind him. If he can, then that also opens up the possibility of Sibley playing in a more advanced position. FWIW and counter-intuitive as it may sound, I'd fancy Louie more in an attacking role at Championship level, than at L1.

Both these things had a detrimental effect on those players going forward. Believe Wisdom and Thorne flagged it re Lampard and someone else flagged it re Rooney, so favouritism does exist as it does in every workplace. I have no logical reason why Barkhuizen was dropped last year for Dobbin when the former was flying. That said, Elder has spent as much time on the bench as anyone, so I'm not seeing anything there myself. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who knows they could be waiting to sort one or two things out before releasing. I did see Owen Bradley was doing a good bye interview with max bird today. So maybe he’s at work to do a few more interviews after it’s released potentially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once you decide you can rely on someone it's hard to change your mind, just as it's hard to trust someone after deciding that you don't. What I was responding to is a different suggestion, that PW deliberately played Elder, even when it didn't appear to be the right solution for the team, just so that Elder could get a contract extension.

I haven’t seen anything from Elder to suggest he’s a Championship player. Looks a bang average squad player to me.

Wouldn't want him first choice. An athlete (who's been injured a lot so far) who isn't much of a footballer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
