Callum contract offer (3 Viewers)

[Bertola]

He's our best player. He deserves paying accordingly.

Look at him in the city unseen videos too, he's the heartbeat of the squad. He was the first to celebrate with Simms after his assist for Sheafs goal, him, Milan, Haji and KP seem to have great chemistry. Lets not mess this up by low-balling him

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Thank fuck megamind didn't buy the club and implement his plan of give the 'players whatever they want' strategy

He changed his stance now, says "his" consortium just wanted the ground.

 

[Evo1883]

You make that gamble with every signing though. We’ve got more insight into O’Hare than anyone we might bring in so in a way the risks are at least better known. Depends what medical says about a relapse.

Any player could walk out tomorrow and have a bad injury , didn't Robins say that Cals ACL was like brand new with the surgery he had ?

Agreed but it shows they may not think he's worth that money based on what they know.

It's difficult because right now he's one of our best players but, like with Hamer, if you throw £25k a week on him, every big name signing we make will demand that.

exactly this. We all know his injury but that was 1 bad injury that could happen to anyone. Now it’s like he hasn’t been away and as good as ever. He deserves a fair wage not lowballing him. Obviously he may have been offered fair money but clearly there is a disagreement as it stands and it’s always money.

 

[skybluericoh]

Hope he signs a new contract, there is a gamble on each side. He says no then get another injury. Or he use yes and gets one.
Even though we lost Gus and Vic I believe we are a stronger team this season. Still a work in process, Calum would be missed but we would get over it.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Do we think he is a better player than Ellis Simms and Haji Wright?

Because if so, then yes, he is deserving of top earner. And we all know the answer to that


King for me needs to stop the play off lip service but not wanting to pay the cash in wages for the players that can get you there

 

[pusbccfc]

Does player insurance mitigate that?

Possibly, I'm not too sure. I can't imagine we were paid out for O'Hare's last ACL injury? Would be interesting to know.

 

[slowpoke]

Can't see us making the play offs, let alone winning them, take the money

I suggest you go to specsavers then.

 

[Manchester_sky_blue]

I don't think O'Hare is motivated by money, so the assumption that it's about the salary is probably misguided imo. He'll want to play at a higher level.

If you were him, you'd probably wait to see what league you're playing in next season before agreeing to anything.

Completely agree. This is why I was suggesting on the other thread that we should stick a 1 year extension in front of him with a promise not to stand in his way if we don't go up.

 

[SBT]

you could say that about any player. before his unlucky injuries he was ever present for us despite getting hacked down every week. can’t believe fans are happy for him to leave. since he’s come back he’s added goals to his games

Do you think he’ll sign a contract like Hamer did for us last summer?

 

[skyblu3sk]

Like groundhog day…

I wish this chap would pipe down and let the club crack on.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Why does Dawkins always get involved. He seems to think he knows everything and should know everything, stick to your Pub singers or whatever he does

He’s desperate to be mates with all the players despite being 20 years older than them.

 

[Matt smith]

Doug king needs to sign this guy up, it’s pretty simple

you make him the highest paid imo

 

[NorthernWisdom]

You make that gamble with every signing though. We’ve got more insight into O’Hare than anyone we might bring in so in a way the risks are at least better known. Depends what medical says about a relapse.

Equally, I'd be very nervy if we were splashing out on somebody coming back from that type of injury.

 

[Robinshio]

Just wondering if it is really 10 million? 6 maybe? How does the 10 mill stack up?

ha ha , yes I think somewhere i doubled it -

 

[robbiekeane]

King for me needs to stop the play off lip service but not wanting to pay the cash in wages for the players that can get you there

Where the fuck did this come from

Nobody knows anything about what’s been offered. You don’t half just conjure some shite up sometimes

 

[Senior Vick from Alicante]

Wasserman his agents will be the fly in the ointment on this one, they are known for playing hardball and will have possibly banked on this as part of their projected income stream for this years accounts. They will be giving advise to CH which suits him and them as they need to turn a profit. I want him to stay but agents have to much say in what goes on unfortunately so I think he may move for better pay on a free. Max Aarons was on £29k a week last season before he moved so how much do you offer?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Like groundhog day…

Not sure we can afford what he’s worth and John d is just after followers a typical shock jockey

 

[slowpoke]

Equally, I'd be very nervy if we were splashing out on somebody coming back from that type of injury.

Shall we let him go free then ?

 

[slowpoke]

Not sure we can afford what he’s worth and John d is just after followers a typical shock jockey

What can we afford then in your opinion ?

 

[Saddlebrains]

Its not shite you melt

We've offered him a contract on improved terms and pretty decent bonuses

But its not at the level of the top 2 earners at the club

Would you class Callum as being worth more to the club than Haji Wright or Ellis Simms?

Because if so, then you wouldn't be against him being top earner

 

[Saddlebrains]

Tbf, on this occasion Dawkins is actually very good friends with Callum through Grennan so he probably does have a fair idea

 

[play_in_skyblue_stripes]

Because if so, then yes, he is deserving of top earner. And we all know the answer to that

The answer is a resounding Yes and by a long way.

 

[Gibbo]

If he doesn't sign, what would people rather:

A) Keep him for another playoffs push?
B) Cash in for say £1-2million?

The only answer is B. No player is indispensable. We can get a good replacement. We are a team not a one man show. This is a long term game with anything achieved this year a bonus.

 

[GIMOC]

a lot on here forget what happened at radio 1 weekend when ohare came on stage. hes good mates with dawkins so he’ll be more privy to whats going on than most. the club have offered a measly contract. most would say no to it. no negotiations either. fans shouldnt be happy with how the club have dealt with this. ohare is one of the best players in the league. should be offered a wage to reflect that. end of

 

[Saddlebrains]

The answer is a resounding Yes and by a long way.

Im pretty sure thats the thoughts of nearly all of us aswell

Thats all hes asking for. I dont see why it cant be done considering we're still sat on 12 million of Hamer money installments, Record ST sales, record Merch sales, highest average attendance in decades at higher prices etc etc

We are doing our bit and doing it well.

If King really does want play offs in 3 of the next 5 seasons, he needs to show it

 

[Gibbo]

The only indispensable person in the Club is Robins.

 

[slowpoke]

I think Wasserman have few of ours on their books.

 

[biggymania]

I would agree Callum deserves to be a top earner at the club, but I wonder if the club are waiting for an actual bid to understand what the market would pay and match that. I don't think he's necessarily a good fit for a Premiership team right now which might limit the contracts he will be offered. Of course, that will change in the summer...

What are the numbers? You don’t know anything

But you come out with shit like “king had better stop just paying lip service” so that if COH signs you’re like oh great he finally put his hand in his pocket, and if he doesn’t you’ve got your weird little conspiracy theory ball rolling

 

[Deity]

If he doesn't sign, what would people rather:

A) Keep him for another playoffs push?

Cash in

To be fair I should just leave you too if, you’ve already made a massive twat of yourself once this season with your knee jerk tantrums so crack on

 

[robbiekeane]

We honestly must have some of the weirdest fans ever

 

[NorthernWisdom]

He's not being re released into the wild like an injured wildebeest is he
