Odoffin

[Derbymiller]

He and Humphries were 2 of our best players last season,Haks is great player,probably best at CB or CDM,I really hope we have done everything to keep him at the club,but it looks increasingly like he won`t be here next season,which would be a real shame.

Well according to the latest article the club have not done anything as yet, the article states quite clearly "Odoffin is out of contract in the summer. His manager wants him to stay but there have yet to be talks over a new deal."

I don't think they've had any intention of persuading the better players,like Humphreys and Odoffin to stay.We have this foolish mode of practice, that allows good players to leave for nothing because we will not offer the market rate wages.Crazy economics from this clueless club.He's brought his mate SE in because no other manager would tolerate this.

It takes two to Tango. It quite clear to me that Odoffin has no intention of signing a new deal within the budget that RUFC can afford and that he thinks (or more already likely knows) that he will be earning a lot more money next year. Not everyone is as altruistic as Victor.

Unfortunately both have been with us through the Championship years so are probably already on more than we can offer them going forward given our current prognosis. As an owner I wouldn't be offering more than we can afford and as a player in my prime years I'd be looking to where I can maximize my income. Only one outcome in those circumstances I'm afraid.

If that?s the case, sell them for a fee now.
Get something for them before they walk away for nothing!
What a position to get into though. Its not like we?ve been there before and learned any lessons?!?!?!

So basically you?re saying sell both now to maximise some kind of revenue, even though we haven?t clearly retained league 1 status?

This sounds like a repetitive story of the last two seasons. Also Evo said he was here to see NO player would leave on a free under his tenure?..we?ll see about that.

It’s an all too common pattern in football ! The players, agents are totally running the game ? Just look at Liverpool can’t reach an agreement with Salah, Alexander Arnold and Van Dyke all out of contract this season ? Newcastle with 50,000 every home game having to sell players ? Man UTD can’t afford to buy ISAAK ? A lot of people wearing blinkers think it’s just a Rotherham problem, it’s not !!
It’s a ever increasing downwards spiral, a race to the bottom ? The clubs answer to this put season tickets up, put hospitality up, put mascot packages up, put refreshments up ! It can’t keep happening until something goes POP ?

I agree it isn't just a Rotherham problem, but perhaps if it is a problem we don't have the skills within the club to minimise the impact upon us, then people at the club should stop mouthing off about learning lessons and not on my watch.
