joe Rafferty contract

[Old_time_miller]

Equally, for a club not to play a player - they do not want - just to get rid, seems just as bad. Football is certainly not what it used to be.

[UlleyMiller]

Based on this?

"Joe Rafferty: His 2024 deal is about to expire, but a certain number of appearances would trigger the offer of an extra year."

That's just a really poorly worded line, and could be taken more than one way. I don't think that necessarily points to what would be a very odd clause where the club become obligated.

Let him go.

Absolute liability.

Joe Isn't a bad full back if played in his position properly, I think it's great he may be here for another season . So much negativity all the time . We will sign players on contacts no different to any other football club in the country ,.who have extentions and clauses wrote into players contracts .

he has been one of the most reliable in terms of being available.
With all the injury prone players, here we have one who has been available, who doesn't fall into the aging crock category yet people want him gone. He's a full back being asked to play wing back or CH. He's not the greatest but he hasn't been the worst player and has arguably done better than some some of our CH in a back three, when its not his natural position.

[Old_time_miller]

Not being the worst is not the point. We need to move forward.
He is significant slower than when he came, which gets him constantly caught out, choose whichever position he is in.

Nothing against a good pro, but I am sure he would recognise time passes.

We need fresh legs. And a whole lot more!

He has been, by some distance, the worst player and consistently so.

He also flaps and panics, not great qualities for a captain.

I’m sorry but for me he’s been one of our better players re availability and consistency, he’s our captain and if we had a few others like him wouldn’t be in this position, he always seemed to be the scapegoat when the 1st substitute was made under MH, sounds like I’m in the minority and that’s ok

I'm sure we all recognise the strengths he used to have. No need to apologise. I for one wish he was still like his first 6 months with the club.
