Seems odd to only sign him till end of season, although I suppose it could be an insurance policy if he is on big wages and we fuck up promotion, with a trigger to extend if we do go up.

Under the circumstances that’s how I see this too. |

I would guess that is exactly the reasons behind it. |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

Town will have options. Almost certainly.

If we don't go up, he gets a L1 club next year. Works all round I'd suggest.

We probably had to pay up the remainder of his contract, or at least the difference if he signed on for a lower wage, also an agent fee too, I doubt it was much TBH. Power was speaking a while ago about signing players on frees from clubs and he said that fees and settlement deals have to be paid even if the player is on a free transfer, he stated we paid around £50k to Chelsea for Conroys contract, he also mentioned a fee for a few other players said to have been "free transfers". |

So, we pay Shrews a fee. He’s then OOC in the summer and, if he chooses, can then sign for someone else for free?
Mmmmm!

As Grant hadn't asked for a transfer he'd have been due some dosh from Shrewsbury from any sale, so I;d imagine we've just ensured they are not out of pocket. If we go up we can probably convince him to stick around for another year or two, if we somehow implode he gets the option to move on and we don;t get saddled with another big wage for a player not fully committed. Works for all parties I think.

Might be worth nipping down to the training ground later this week to see if there are any new faces.
Have we got one yet ? |

Gone are the days you could simply rock up at Liddington and pass the time watching the players get put through their paces. I believe it was Fitton’s mob that put paid to that - do you also recall they had the cheek to deny loyal supporters the chance to attend an AGM....  |
