It would be hilarious if no one came in for him except for MK Dons, whom you wouldn't wish on any one .

i would imagine as a free agent he would go on trial and train with some one somewhere before they signed him. What if he got injured before signing? Presumably the cost of rehabilitation would then be down to him.

No chance will he go on trial somewhere.

Where did that pic come from? Did look like him to be honest
Why would he do on trial anywhere when he could sign a 25k a week contract here.

There’s already an offer on the table from us.
But that offer has an expiry date, at the end of the day we have x amount of money in our budget for wages, so once that is spent it will have been spent, so the offer from ourselves will have an end date. I would presume our offer runs out on 30 June.

If he suddenly turns around and says it wants to sign the contract we’re not going to say no.

Personally I think it’s getting to the stage now where if he wanted to stay then he would have already signed. If he moves on to someone like Leeds, then it’s somewhat of a sideways move, so he clearly thinks he’s better than us and isn’t really fully buying into what we’re trying to do. If he’s not fully committed, then it’s time to say goodbye. As with Stamenic, we want players that are fully committed to Coventry City, not players with one eye elsewhere and using us as a back up/last resort.

I’m sure Leeds will be able to pay him significantly more and will be considered more likely to go up than us. From a neutral perspective it wouldn’t be a sideways move.
Yep tend to agree on all that. Look at binks yday, clearly loves it and wants to be here.
Leeds would be such a meh move personally, but good luck to him.
shame as a firing COH would really help us and him in terms of limelight and potentially a bigger move next summer.
anyway just need to draw line under it now.
but if we have already spent that money elsewhere, then we would have to say no, thats why there will be an expiry date. The expiry date can be extended, or a new offer made, but there will be an expiry date

If he moves to Leeds it’s verging on an admission of failure in my view.
Considering the rumours were he was moving abroad, coupled with some of the PL links, plus the whole being shown round Southampton thing, to then end up at another Championship team.
Granted he’ll be paid more and they are probably stronger favourites than us to go up, but last season proved that isn’t guaranteed. And is he better than the attacking midfield three they spent a lot of money on last year?
It’s a shame he doesn’t want to go up with us - which we will this year - and I would like him to stay. But in reality we’ve spent the last 2 seasons playing without him - this isn’t a Hamer/Gyokeres/Sheaf (**trigger**), or even a Simms/Sakamoto level loss IMO.

If he could carry his Dec/Jan form over a whole season he definitely would be. The problem for him is that’s by far the best he’s played at this club, so it’s enough for Leeds to have him as a squad player but likely not more.

To play at a higher level and get paid even more, while still having our offer on the table to fall back on (unless we have given him a deadline).

I'm not sure Leeds will be able to offer him more than us. They are in the sh it financially and likely to have broken the EFL FFP rules last year. Clubs know they need to sell so won't be offering top dollar for their players. History could easily repeat itself and they implode.

They've got millions of pounds worth of talent rumoured to be sold this pre-season, so signing O'hare on a free and paying him half of an outgoing players wage is a no brainer.

Thing is if he doesn’t hit the ground running then the Leeds fans will be on his back. If he ends up being a bit part player then he will not get the game time to show his skills. This season Leeds will be looking to walk the league so Calum be aware of high expectation.

Yep. Hope we took our offer off the table ages ago.

If he goes to Leeds for say an extra 10 grand a week then you can’t blame him, we’d all do the same.

Yeah. I'm a big fan of O'Hare but we've seen better than him go. Good luck to him but we move on.
