I think its a bit unfair to say he's only had one good season. Like most he was decent enough under Sturrock.
We should be trying bloody hard to keep our best player, simple as...
I've not been a fan of McGovern in the past and I'm not going to change my opinion of his past seasons just because by comparison he's been immense this season. He absolutely deserves the accolades he is getting for this season. This is the best season of his career.
I'm also not going to suggest he's playing better for a long term contract or bigger move as this may be completely unfair. But if he wants more than a 2 year deal on the kind of wages he'll demand, I'm not sure we'll keep him based on his first couple of seasons.
Sturrock was only around for a few months when McGovern was here, saying he was only good for one season out of three is not harsh, maybe actually generous.
Personally I hope we keep him and he continues to play very well. He's probably been one of the best midfielders in the division this season which is a credit to his transformation.
