From the clubs point of view, all good suggestions. However I don't think you would get many players agents agreeing to those terms, and the ones that did, would be the lower end of the ability scale, as better players would get better contracts.

Not if we are paying Mcmanus daft money

I think that's how we structured the pay when Tommy Mclean was in charge. Someone posted a couple of weeks back he thought we were paying neilsen around 2 grand a week. If true, that's obscene money for a player of his standard.
