Whether it's seen as free transfer insurance or long-term planning, it's a positive step.

Refreshing to see some football news, and good news at that. Can't see how this is anything but a positive move, though no doubt the usual bellends will pipe up putting a negative slant on it.

Pleasing to see another promising, young player tied down to a long term deal. Well done Mark Venus.

It puts value on him and like it or not he will be a candidate to be sold one day. I have a hunch Fisher and co will have a list of possibles and probables to be sold and their estimate values. Has said we need to sell to survive, probably the only 100% true thing he said.

As he said we are selling club because we cannot generate sufficient funds from Attendances so unfortuneatly Ben will become a casualty at the appropriate time however he will realise much needed revenue in the short term and longer term like Wilson & Maddison give us. Its a model a lot of lower division clubs use when they dont have a benefactor supporting the club with funds. We need to be self sustainable!

Cracking news. Great to see that despite all the doom and gloom players like this are still happy to sign up.

You may be right. Just the long term (three years plus) stick in my mind.

If by 'future' if you meant League two then yes, I'd agree with you.

Stevenson is a great potential. But lets not try and hype him into something he isn't. He is a kid who needs time to learn his craft and not be over played. He will also have a bad patch as players do.

Let's hope he is here for 3-4 years.

so next year wouldnt have needed such a big upheavel.

convicned TM would have sorted us, just hope MV gets job and carries on in same vein. zero chance of us going down imo. we will stay in promotion mix i think. although not good to start with a uphil battle i agree

Good news. But anyone who thinks he will be here that long is deluded.
Being under contract just means we can get more for him when he goes.

Tim Fisher has gone on record and said CCFC will have to SELL a player a season to brake even.

All that the contact's do is protect SISU interests !!!

I hope not. I hope he turns into an average championship player and we sell him for £3m in January

Doesn't in protect CCFC interests if the football club are the ones who need the money?

Funding operating costs (inc. Fees, wages, agents fees,etc) and minimalising losses.

There was a note in the most recent accounts about this. The upfront fee for Maddison was used to repay some of a short term loan made by SISU to cover the cash flow problems caused by the miscalculation in breakeven. The rest of the loan remains as a rolling credit facility.

We've been making significant losses (£m's) for years - its all on the accounts, of which there are numerous threads on here, where OSB has gone through them with a fine tooth combe. The ticket prices have only returned to pre-2015/16 levels, they were heavily discounted last season. Given our gates are down by aroubd 4-5k, its probably a good job they have changed the prices....

Its really not complicated. The tickets last season were massively discounted compared to previous seasons. There wasn't sufficient uptake to offset the lower prices, a major problem when we don't have access to other revenues. Therefore the pricing this season returned to what it has been for several years prior with the exception of last season.
