New contract for Sol

[J R Hartley]

Lining him up for management? Although I think he's got a future on the TV. He always comes across very professional and informative

He’s had a few appearances on Sky so that’s not a bad shout

It doesn’t make sense from Sols point of view. Rip up a 1 year contract for 20k a week to sign 2 years at 15k a week is basically signing the 2nd year for a 50% pay cut. I don’t see him doing that. I can only see the logic in taking a 25% pay cut for 1 year if he’s guaranteed wages for at least another 3, maybe 4 years and then the % he’s losing gets smaller.

Doesn’t make sense from the clubs point of view either IMO. I wouldn’t have offered him any extension until he’s back from injury and got a few games under his belt.

Pushing 35 with a cruciate injury that younger players have struggled to come back from so he’s hardly going to be in demand at the moment. Why the rush to extend the deal?

I’d contend that if a contract has been agreed/signed then it makes sense to both parties. That’s how negotiated contracts work
