Here's the thread. Perhaps it could be merged

Definitely got a Hoilett feeling about the contract situation here.

The main problem being, Hoilett was not a major loss, because Hoilett was not as good has he thought he was. Phillips is.

Blackburn Rovers' bid to keep hold of top Academy talent | Lancashire Telegraph

Sharpe seems confident it's done.

Interesting that and sounds very promising. Does anyone know what the new compensation rules are? Perhaps that’s a step in the right direction too.

[Moptop1]

His heads already been turned. He’ll be off.

Says he wants to sign and it'll be for 3 years. That means we'll be going through this all over again in 2 years time!

As for predictive text, I wrote "he wants to sign" and it came out as"he wants tossing"!

Spooky eh?

[Upside Down]

I'm sure most 17 year olds do. 🙃

Hopefully we re-enter negotiations once he turns 18 and we are allowed to offer more than 3 years. How difficult those negotiations are to do depends on many things between now and then.

It will be very dicey then I imagine. Would help if we got promoted.

Its the coaching staff's job to ensure he's a regular and playing at his best by then so we come out of it well either way.

A contract with a release clause in the multi-millions would be the best the club could get I'd imagine. Easy to say!

[Miller11]

He’s signed!!

Fair play to Gregg Broughton, he’s obviously addressing the issue we’ve had around rewarding our academy graduates properly and signing them up in a timely manner. This is just the kind of strategic work we’ve needed someone to be implementing.

Great news. Thankfully his advisors have put him and his career first rather than chasing a quick buck.

[windymiller7]

Superb! Great to see some proper work being done behind the scenes and sorting it before the horse has bolted.

[Irish_Rover]

Delighted with the news!
I was fairly consigned to him leaving, there was too much of the old Hoilett carry on and then Spurs sniffing around aswell. Fair play to lad for turning them down, the premiership team with much bigger salary draw couldn't have been easy to pass up.

Looks like we are finally doing things right contract wise and getting lads tied down for at least a few years!

At least now we will get a fee if he moves. Get Batty signed up now.

[Polky]

Great news!

[Displaced Rover]

This is superb news, should really help us down the line. Fair play to the club for getting it done.

[Beanie01289]

A bit of a stinging indictment of the last regime no forward planning Venus as director of football letting many players run down contracts while the manager at the time advised staff to leave instead of ensuring that they stayed to help the club.

no,he`s big and pretty mobile,he would be a massive handful up front,we have four good centre backs so stick him up front,once he starts scoring the premiership lot will be on the phone with telephone number sized bids,he`ll be our 20 goal striker!!!!!!!,outside  box thinking works sometimes
