Contracts

Robbo at today's presser...

"We're in negotiations with four players at the minute and hope to have some announcements at the end of the week"

[Wellup4it]

I'd guess Cedric Kipre, Tom Aldred and Andy Rose plus one other.

certainly in talks with Kipre, Don't know who thew others are. If we do sign Aldred, who I think has been a great signing we will have a very strong back line when Hartley is fit. Robbo also said he expects the likes of main and dunne to be better players next season.

I would be very pleasantly surprised if we sign Aldred already.

Kipre seems a given, I reckon Dunne too and Magiure will get his extension after his debut. Of those out of contract, Rose would seem the most likely candidate to be fourth.

[Handsome_Devil]

So the correct answer was one-year extensions for Kipre, Tait, Dunne and Bowman.

Disappointed (though not surprised) we're keeping Bowman but overall it's hard to call that anything other than a very good start to the weekend. I'd have happily taken Tait and Kipre on even longer, I suspect it's the players rather than us preferring the short-term deals in those cases.

I'm hopeful the extension for Bowwzza will spur him on to a great performance against Aberdeen. Stick 1 in the poakie son. Extending the 4 contracts on the eve of the semi is great news, and great management / PR by the club.
