He is starting to sound deluded. If he is talented and does well he will be sold well before 4 years.

As the forum will know, I'm a critic of TM and have questioned his position a few times. That said, it's good to see him getting these deals done with an eye on next seasons squad. Hopefully by the time we have our first pre-season, we'll actually have a decent squad.

That must be the longest playing contract we've given out in seasons on a signing that hasn't come through the academy. Good to see. I've liked what I've seen of him so far.
Spot on, 1 good season and he'll be out the door on the first bid.

Do you really expect him to say 'we all know he'll bugger off as soon as someone else is interested'?

Eastwood had a four year contract.

Not to mention Baker and Bell. Were they 4 or 5?

Didn't Bell and Baker get similar deals?

But he did say the longest given out in seasons, so that's right isn't it.

A longer contract means we can sell him for a higher price.

You give him a 4 year contract, which provides job security with the intention of cashing in after 3 (probably).
I suspect if a shorter contract were offered he might look closer to 'home' rather than moving to Coventry.
Sensible business decision, provided he is insured against serious injury.
Ouch, ask Orange Ken about those decisions.

Fuck sake why give him a 4 year contract when we don't have any money and he could be shit next season.

You can't win Nick, our supporters will always find something wrong. Very few look on the bright side or positives!
Hopefully TM's building the foundations for a brighter Sky Blue future.

Sometimes in business you've got to take a risk, as long as it isn't massively expensive.

So after being here for over a season he is now starting to build a team for the future, what the fuck has he been doing so far.
TM has been banging on and on all season that he's building a team for the future, so has he been telling porkies.

If nothing else, a four year deal reassures me we might have a club beyond next season!

He didn't have a scouting network in place last summer, so he didn't know who to bring in. It's all good you saying he hasn't built for the future. But people would have moaned had he given 2/3 year contracts to the likes of lorentzson. Clearly he brought in players he thought could do a job for a season, until he could get a network in place and bring in players which can develop and become the core of team. As has been see with gahdzev, Sayoud, rose, Jones, Willis and hopefully stokes.
So not telling porkies. Having a brain and not panicking.

Yup. I appreciate it's looking optimistically, but I want a club that builds, looks to the future, finds talent it can bring on.
If Jones is a sign of future policy from TM, then I'm quite happy with that... assuming he picks well, anyway

A 4 year deal does shows ambition, something I've felt SISU of late have not shown and Jones is some player.

The chances are that any new signing on a contract will get a percentage on appearances etc as the contract rolls.We all know the David Bell scenario so maybe season after season the wages go up rather than x amount for 4 years even if he turns out he is shite as usual.
Old Tm has shown a poor manager the second half of the season so maybe he will adapt or fall on his sword this time next year. Until we know the story behind the scenes since Anderson turned up etc lets see.

It all depends on how you define 'the future'. Tomorrow is the future, next week and next month is the future. It's really a meaningless statement, or more accurately, it means what you take it to mean. Also, there is not just one future, there are many possible futures because what you do today influences the future.

I think what Christonabike is saying is that the term '4-year contract' means very little unless you know what is in the contract. And contracts can have get-out clauses for both sides, so a '4-year contract' in itself does not tell you much.

I don't like this he will be signed up by the start of the season.
I don't want to curse it. Hope to God he dies sign up for four years
