    Absolutely right - but if we had a longer extension then we could command top money.

    If we had a set wage structure then I agree. Many clubs have star players earning more. In the case of Vik and Gus, not many players would begrudge them being on more than say, Jamie Allen or Burroughs. That they should be on the same isn’t realistic or logical. I think everyone agrees that...

    Then they do what every other footballer does - prove they are worth it at new contract time.

    All big contracts are a risk. Vik doesn’t strike me as a Spoons guy or the type to go off the rails. Career ending injury can be insured against I think. A risk. Like all football contracts. This one has big upsides and big downsides.

    Problematic I guess. (However a similar deal for Hamer could work) Do they have such a clause does anyone know?

    Yep. There is that. I’m sure there will have been players like Wilson (£2k pre new contract) who would have seen Waghorn (£12k) and thought “unfair”. I’m sure there’s huge disparity at other clubs too. From a business point of view paying him £££££ to give us a better chance of ££££££££ has...

    Give him a contract with a higher release clause on say, £60k/ week / we have option on extending another year if we get in Prem. What’s that going to cost us? Say he’s on £10k now (no idea and it doesn’t really matter) it’ll cost £50/k week extra - £2.5-£3m per year with extras. His value...

    Transfer Rumour Panzo coming back?

    I can see us getting Panzo on a perm and punting our play off revenue at McNally on a perm. BNC might be a season long loan. He’s 19 so it’s possible Arsenal want to see how he progresses in the Champ.

    Transfer Rumour Panzo coming back?

    Unless they are trying to be cryptic and Doyle / JWE staying at ” Sky Blue “ Man City and McNally and BNC and Panzo signing perm here. Probably overthinking here, but maybe CCFC social media trying to plant an Easter Egg here.

    Just try to placate yourself mentally with the following: What an amazing, interesting, exciting season. We follow Luton by one year during recent history. We go up next year. Growing support. Bigger budget next season due to play off windfall and bigger attendances, sponsorship etc...

    Dabo released

    Good luck and best wishes to the Guy. I posted elsewhere that I can see him going to a level 2 Dutch club like PEC Zwolle, he’s had a couple of seasons there (Netherlands) and seems friends with Gus. Maybe Gus will put a word in. If he stays in U.K. he’s going to get constant digs and...

    Breaking News!

    I think the main sore point is that we probably (I think definitely) had players we believed more suitable / capable to step up next. If Dabo was pen 8/9 and missed then I think things would be easier to come to terms with. If it was Bidwell 6, Fadz 7, Wilson 8 or whatever then it comes down...

    That 6th penalty is the most pressured. Absolutely shocked Dabo was put in the line ahead of Bidwell (a set piece taker). I said a few weeks ago that I thought Ben Wilson might be a better choice for pen 6. I guess keepers take pens against each other as part of their training - I’d back...

    Transfer Window

    It’s a credible shout. Links to Nuneaton. Free transfer. Not a huge gamble.
