Fallon's contract issues

[red macca]

Anyone got anything concrete on this yet that I can read?

Just because he's turned down an offer it doesn't mean the board or the player aren't going to negotiate another.

I've read elsewhere that Sir Les is set to sign on a short term deal until the end of the season with the TV production company spunking up the cash.

Sounds like utter shite but I'd quite like 'Sir Les' on the back of a shirt.

where did you here this dazza..probably total bollocks but i would be happy with that

NOTTS COUNTY = Nottinghamshire (i.e. county)

NOTTM FOREST = Nottingham (i.e. city)

Swindon 1 - 2 Forest

Little birdies whispering crap in my ear and there's also a mention on the Rivals site.

Its a tough decision and hard to make judgments when we don't know
a) Why Fallon hasn't signed a new contract
b) Who is interested
c) How much they will pay
d) How much of that would be put into helping us STAY IN THE DIVISION

The way things are lookin we could well be relegated and that is not what a club in our positin needs, it could be a serious problem.

R4E makes some very good points in this post. Currently not a lot of facts are known except:

1. Rory has not signed a contract after 2 months of negotiations
2. An offer has been made for him

Is it fair to assume that Swansea have withdrawn their interest now they have signed Leon Shite? Maybe, they might want to cash in on Trundle and see Rory as a replacement?

Clearly there is doubt in his own mind regarding the offer in terms of money or the level of football we will be playing next season. Does he really want to commit himself to the club and possibly play in L2 next season?

Money talks today, and there is no loyalty in football like there was. Can you blame someone for wanting to better themselves, granted moving anywhere is a risk, as proven by Mr G Smith.

So my opinion for what its worth (not as much as Rory) - cash in now, not for less than 300k, on the understanding that Iffy gets money to spend to secure a replacement. Its a gamble in our current position, but it has to be one worth taking.

And 1.4M for Izale McLeod has to be a wind-up.

Swansea, sccording to the WDP, still favour signing a targetman in the Fallon ilk. Grant Holt of Rochdale is considered their main target, but Fallon is likely to command a lower price.

Although Fallon hasn't signed a new contract yet, we could cite the example of Mr Sam Parkin who dawdled for a while before signing about this time 2 years ago, which would give us hope that we will keep him.

However Parkin was a good bloke who seemed to recognise Swindon gave him a chance, as well as no-one being interested in him at that time. In Fallon's case there are a number of clubs interested, so perhaps the furore has influenced him. This a major difference between the two scenarios.

It all points in the end to Fallon pointing himself to the door. An unstisfactory end to a mystifying situation.

the difference was, Parkin knew he was good and there would always be teams interested in him.

Fallon knows he is on a purple patch and wants to move up in the game before he turns shit again  

Parkin knew he was going anyway and we werent going to stop him, just this way it earnt the club some money in the process.

I dont think Fallon will do well in The Championship, he's found his level in League One.
