Bayliss commitment is the best news I've heard all day!
Good things are coming out of City right now - lets just get it right on the pitch and we are good to go!
I am no fan of the owners but sometimes they can’t win they let contracts run down and players leave we are unhappy and they extend them and it’s all about future value.
This boy is good and I enjoy watching him if he stays a bit longer great
I hate SISU as much as the next man but how on earth can the Facebook brigade find a negative to this?! We’ve signed one of our best talents on a four year deal! I’m aware that if he keeps up his rapid improvement, he won’t be here in 4 years time (or maybe even 2 years!) but the club have invested in keeping one of our best players with the club. I was scathing of the club after the sale of McNulty but in all fairness they do seem to have reinvested the majority of the McNulty money...
I would rather have Bayliss tied down and get some potential fee for the manager to reinvest in the future than let a good player go for nothing - like what happened with John Fleck.
Tremendous news, he's a real talent and I hope we get to watch him for a good while yet. It feels like slowly but surely the club are beginning to do the right things, after years of constant mistakes taking us downwards. Long may the progress continue, along with the apparent policy of silence from the owners, which is very welcome IMO.
Triffic news. The slow start to the season for the team, and Tom, has detracted from the fact he was the injection of forward creativity and momentum last season. Hopefully now with contract negotiations sorted, he and we can knuckle down and get into that top 10 at least and see what happens from there
Excellent news and a win-win for all involved
Fail to get promotion this year - Sell for 4-5m in the summer
Get promoted and he'll stay another season, sell the following summer for 20-25m
It is baffling that people are genuinely annoyed he signed a new contract because it means he is getting sold. If he's going to go, he's going to go. We could let him run down his contract and go for minimal compensation with his head turned or we could give him a better long term deal.
