Isn't extending a player contract almost like buying a new player?

Parachute payment clubs = money to throw around
A handful of clubs with owners who have deep pockets = money to throw around (Stoke, Forest, QPR, perhaps now Hull)
Other clubs who throw money around e.g. Reading, Derby, Bristol City = impending doom
Clubs who don't throw money around (having had fingers burnt) Luton, us ?
Until they deal with the top group, the rest are trying to secure one potential promotion place (if that). A team outside that top group could easily spend £10m and fail to get promoted....they need to level up the playing field.

No, because you don't have to replace said player when his contract would have run out. It does however increase his value if a buyer comes in for the player.

Is this our first VAR game?

No as it’s a year extension on a contract

No just keeps the status quo, does not add improvement to the team.

I believe so, unless I've forgotten something obvious?

I was trying to think of another Prem team we’ve played recently. Was it on at Watford a couple of seasons back?

In the EFL Cup? Don't think so, believe it's only used at Wembley for the Semis & Final in that competition.

Ah ok that makes sense sorry for making assumptions
I’m pretty certain it contained a significant increase in salary from now but again I may have assumed this

Shit yeah, forgot that was the EFL Cup. Must be then.

Should do if they progress and improve but take the point
Did you get that from Dave?
Dont Southampton have to pay it?
They might then recover it from sales as they can deduct expenses
So we lose 45% of £11k ??
Well it means at the end of Contract Year 1 you do dont have to replace him then

Sorry, you're right that I quoted the total cost which is shared by the 2 clubs:
FA Cup games where VAR is used, sees a charge of £9,251 + VAT made by PGMOL.
That VAR money is deducted from the gate receipts amongst other expense, before the money left over is shared 45% for each club and 10% into the central pot to help fund the prize money.
So I guess will cost us more like £5k

Just checked their board and already debating whether he’s the best player at the club

He probably is to be fair. If he actually turns up to games

Didn't realise the VAR cost, presumed the FA would pay that. Bloody hell.
Would it be cheaper to bribe the officials?

What if we refuse to pay and just say we want the game without it? If we were playing any team outside the prem we wouldn't have it anyway. Especially as chances are it'll work against us anyway.

We should. Not our fault we drew Soton away!

Watching that Bushiri who we were linked to in the summer play for Hibs tonight. Good job we didn’t go in for him, he’s absolutely shite

Yeah about that standard, the only reason he has hype is due to his brother Sean, who is actually a decent little player

It says here O'Hare signed a new contract, I don't read that as an extension to an existing contract.
I think it's fair to assume an increase in pay, however that may not start until the end of his existing contract.
CONTRACT: Callum O'Hare signs new Sky Blues deal!
Coventry City are delighted to confirm that Callum O’Hare has signed a new contract with the Club!

No it would start as soon as he signed it
No not really. It doesn’t improve the quality of the team. It simply protects future value.
I believe the other word for that is "investment"

Brannagan is the one we should try to sign if Oxford don’t go up - Blackpool had 3 bids turned down

25, bit old for the model of developing players isn’t he?

would be a very Jamie Allen esque transfer.
