It was an administrative error! Look, I've made a mistake and I've owned up to it. It's time to move on and get behind the project.
I fully expected you to pass the mic to Anthony Hall to tell us that TBH.

A good chance the whole lot will be gone in the summer.

Plus we know Glatzel and Bycroft do, but we have options - per Jamie Russell. Not quite sure if his statement included Johnson, but I assume it does. You're also missing Kokolo and Khan I think. Plus the loans. The shorter list is those under contract to 2025 - UGM, Minturn, Cain, Dworzak, Aguiar. We're not sure on Genesini and Brann but I'd guess EOS.

But, as ever, we don't know if the club has options on any of them (except the two newbies). Though whether we should exercise it if we did would be debatable.

Unless things drastically change - we are going to be in massive trouble next season…

I guess the unknown is how favourable to the club are the options. Are they straightforward extensions based on current terms or is it dependent on a significant wage uplift or even something daft like us getting promoted. If the latter 2 then you’d say it’s highly unlikely the options would get exercised.

Admittedly this was me being very cynical but my first thought when I heard they’re only deals until the end of the season (with options) is that we might have sold it to these players as “you’re not getting another deal at your club, we need players, come and get some game time until the end of the season and put yourself in the shop window for the summer”. Now the more likely reality is that we have favourable options to the club that keep us in control of exercising them but the cynicism built up with this club does make the mind wonder.

I thought it was already confirmed it is the club that has the option, i.e. club can unilaterally decide to invoke it.

Yes but it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s on existing terms. It may be in the clubs gift but they have to satisfy conditions x, y and z in order to exercise the option.

If we've literally taken over their contracts as described, those options would have been negotiated by Liverpool/Forest/Southampton, who are presumably rather more competent.

But again if they just had contracts until the end of the season with those clubs whatever they’ve agreed with us from that point forward is down to us. Ultimately we don’t know.

Some depth, still think we’re missing a defensive midfielder but good to have some options elsewhere
Bycroft
UGM McCarthy Johnson FBT Genesini Minturn Brewitt Kokolo Uwakwe Khan Devoy Dworzak McEachran Cain McGurk Aguiar Glatzel RHM McKirdy Austin Elbouzedi Drinan Shade
