The Contract Situation

[davulsukur]

Typical short sightedness from Venky's.

Let some players leave in order to save a few quid but ignoring the potential transfer fees further down the line on the likes of Dack/Nyambe.

As others have said, if money is tight, why bother with Downing?

They always find the money for the ex boro lads that's a given.

Assombalongo being the exception of course 😂

Rovers Director outlines January plans & contract talks | Lancashire Telegraph

Seems only Dack and Rothwell have 1-year extension clauses in their contracts. 

[EwoodGlory]

We already knew this, there is no way nyambe will sign a new deal in our position, it should have been done a year ago. He will get offers in January. Being benched earlier for JRC as good as he is won't help

I would hope rothwell would if we offer something now.

Dack wants to play in the premier league, so we would have to go up for him to sign an extension. His injury does compliate things so it would be a gamble. Offer him a big deal now or dont. The money wasted on other things kind of makes it so you would try and do something, he should be on par or more than. Gallagher . I would offer a big money 3 or 4 year deal now and tempt him, or just risk losing him. 

Dolan only has 18 months left, he should be offered a long term deal now with Harvey going back to Liverpool, or this will be another repeat. We need to start being a step ahead for once. Dolan should be part of our future with trav and JRC.

Where is Swag these days anyway?

The last 2  press releases on contract matters have been by Mowbray, Sylvester and Cheston. Surely as CEO it's his responsibility?

Is he locked down in Tier 3 Kent?

Dack signs new 3 year contract, merry Xmas!

[DE.]

Great news. 

[tomphil]

Good news on Dack although you would have thought he'd have had to prove his fitness first !

[LeftWinger]

Excellent news on Dack. A year to the day after he got injured as well.

[JHRover]

Brilliant news. Best for a long time.

[G Somerset Rover]

Great news. Now, all efforts on Nyambe please. We’ll be ruing that for years if he walks for nothing (or tribunal peanuts).

[chaddyrovers]

Armstrong next please

[davulsukur]

I figured we'd trigger the 1 year option on his deal but i didn't think we'd get him tied down to another 3 years.

Awesome news.

Nyambe next please

I’d be worrying more about Nyambe who can leave for free in the summer!

Huge boost for Rovers as Bradley Dack signs long-term deal | Lancashire Telegraph

Until summer 2023 .... and another year option in the clubs favour after that. Nyambe next hopefully.

Need to get our main striker on a long term contract. 

Vital for prospects of getting promote

Yes one of those tough unbreakable ones, i'm confident it'll last me another 3 years because its been bounced off the floor recently.

Has Brad ?

[superniko]

Great news and hopefully shows the commitment to other players that we’re still intent on progressing, leading to them signing too (Nyambe  primarily) 

[Ulrich]

Great news that Dack has signed a 3 year deal and with an option in our favour so effectively 4.  

This the season to be jolly 🎄

I am curious to know if there is a release clause and if so how much?

It was done a year ago. A year and 8 months ago but still. April 2019. We made the utterly batshit decision to make it a 2 year deal. With no extension option by all reports so far. I said at the time it would be a problem and lo and behold...

In fairness, the shortness of it may have come from Nyambe or his agent. We are usually very keen to add those one year extensions in our favour, so it suggests either his camp didn't want to commit to 3 years, or that if they did they insisted it not be at the club's whim (in which case we should have given a guaranteed 3 yr without hesitation). However, any reluctance from his end very likely came from the fact that Elliott fucking Bennett kept being deemed a better option. I wouldn't have been keen on committing long term either if I were him.

2 and a half year deal with an option in our favour so effectively 3 and a half. Good news though, secures him contractually for the rest of his best years (assuming he comes back the player he was).

[ben_the_beast]

My hope is that this at least shows negotiations are under way when previous signs were not encouraging going off of Mowbrays comments. It could also coincide with contact from the owners. Reports stating they have been contacted regarding the desperate need for a new centre back so maybe we've been given the green light... Others, Nyambe most of all seriously need to follow. 

Possibly a chance though that Dack was an easier deal to secure given his injury as he may not have been receiving a pay rise. Either way. Great he's signed. Fingers crossed we've got the go-ahead and more are to come.  

[Dreams of 1995]

Rothwell and Nyambe now please
