If he is still here at the end of the season - carry on like this and the vultures will be circling - and not just for Ferry unfortunately! Maybe PDC can buck the trend - lets hope so.
All too true.
I know its a difficult balancing act these days but we need to get our top players signed up long term and we need to do it sooner rather than later.
I know we have a wage budget and I know we've had past players who drop their game when their future is sorted, but still...
This club is definitely going in the right direction now. What we need to do next is stop being such a selling club. Players at this level have a price I know that but we should set that price and stick to it.
If we want 2m for Ritchie then we say that and don't accept a penny less.
I also think Di Canio will be here in the short term future no matter what. He's different, he's unique - he's a football fan who became a player. He is in it for the love as much as the money.
He's building here and I think he'll stay till the job is done.
