What are peoples thoughts on this? Do you think we could see a mass exodus including Pearson ? How detrimental to our season could this be?
Unless there are a number of Championship clubs prepared to ignore FFP and take the consequences later I would guess that we are not the only club in this position. All of the players mentioned know they will get a contract next season, either with Leicester or another club so I don't quite see why ( according to the media ) they are particularly unhappy. I would hope it has been pointed out to their agents by our Director of Football that the club can't sensibly enter into contract negotiations until we know what division we are in next season.If we lose our manager and half our first team mid-season? Might have an effect.
Won't happen though.
I need someone to reassure me Nugent and Morgan wont go to Forest.
I don't believe a player based in England can sign a pre-contract deal with another English club more than a month before the contract ends. So unless they're heading to Scotland or overseas, we're safe on that front.
My understanding is that they can sign a pre-contract deal from January even with another English club.
Good! Anything else would be too scary,We're all doomed I tell ye, DOOMED!
Nugent and Morgan won't go to Forest
Now do you feel reassured
Does anyone else think that Stringer is trying to whip up a fuss about the contract situation. He mentioned it to every caller post match on boxing day - it doesn't seem to have effected our form so far so I see no need to discuss it until it does or we sign contact extensions.
