Not even a goodbye after everything we've been though?

 :no:

He's on holiday now so I guess nothing will happen for a week or so?

Make that three.

He's off then.

Anyone else a bit surprised that McCormack doesn't seem to have responded to this deadline in either manner? Ever since the article a few weeks back where he was talking about not taking a wage cut, looking after his family, not wanting to uproot and all that bollocks I felt he was angling for a move away. Seems as if our captain isn't as committed to the club as we'd hoped.

Agreed with that Sonic

Yes, but if the possibility of a two-year deal is still up in the air, it isn't surprising that a final decision has yet to be announced.

In fairness, the deadline imposed by the club was the date by which the club would like to resolve matters by, so that they can make forward plans. McCormack's is still under contract and knows he has options, so probably using this to negotiate the best deal possible for him either with the club or elsewhere. I don't think it should be read that he won't resign necessarily.  

None of them are committed apart from to their agents. They are all mercenaries. He's had some good games he's had some piss poor ones. If he doesn't want to play for us he can do one, as I am sure he will.

He has been made a generous offer - improved terms and a 2 year deal.

If he's a man of his word then he would stick around.

Douglas mark 2. Fuck him.

This

Douglas was twice the player of course.

In terms of ability, easily replaceable. Whether we will miss his leadership skills should he leave only time will tell.

Improved on last year or improved on the original new contract?

Either way, if he has better offers its a shame but so be it. Next.

On last year.

The proposed contract at the start of last season was silly money.

He was shit and a bottling cunt in his second year, much like the rest of them.

McCormack was superb his first season here, last season not so.

I presume he's still sniffing around for a better deal elsewhere and if that doesn't materialize then he'll re-sign. After which he will no doubt conduct an interview with the Adver entitled "This is where I always wanted to be".

Agree..but 09/10 Douglas. Fucking hell, what a player.

Carried by Ferry.

I'd like to think McCormack hasn't given an answer one way or another because he is still in negotiations with the club.

Bang on Fred

He won't make any comment as he is probably in negotiations with Brentford, not us. If he announced he is not signing with us, that's leaves him in a weaker position with Brentford negotiations.
