Scott appointed Director of Football

As I understand (as cam said) the 1 year extension it's usually the club that enforced it. but I read a few year back they have to pay the player at the contract rate, it can't be reduced or increased.
Imo. If we get a players like nombe, Humphrey bramhall ect either offer a 4 year deals upfront. Or at least a 3 year deal with a 1 year extension.
Young players under 21 offer 2 year with 1year extension and old players 30+ 1 year with 1 year extension.
There is always going to be success and failure in signing players but at least we would get lumbered with players like eaves on 3 year deals.
I like the Peterborough idea of any player is offered a new contract 18 month before the end and if they don't sign then they are sold. Again it's not a perfect scenario but it would stop fans moaning at loosing out on chio type money.
What we get for selling the players is a different discussion

On the face of it the "Peterborough idea" sounds OK but it's only one side of the coin as it would still be difficult, particularly for a club of our size, to replace those players with others of equivalent or improved ability

That's what we're paying Scott to do,mellow ! The Yerson Mosquera deal seems to have reached the usual conclusion.

Some might think that Scott’s first job would be to recruit a Director of Football

Can't disagree though in league 1 we are a much more attractive proposition. That's the time to get the nombe, rathbone, crooks type players on long contracts
