And if he breaks down again we've got one less wage available for a player who could be on the pitch.
That's the argument that was used for the extension last year and look how it's turned out.
That solution is all favouring Jodi and the club taking all the risk.
He was injured by one of our own players during a training sessionThat's his prerogative. We renewed his contract this year and he's been injured for the whole of it. So subsequently that's one player less we can have on the wage bill who could've be on the pitch making a difference.

Hardly something you can blame the lad himself for
It's irrelevant what we think though
Mark Robins will decide based on what's best for the club

Robins sounding very positive. Says the surgeons reports are good, he's in a good place mentally and working really hard to get back and could be playing again this season. "ultimately he’s a player who could end up being a top player for us".Sky Blues boss set to hand Jodi Jones a new contract
The 23-year-old could be back playing before the end of the season when his current contract is due to expire as Mark Robins is determined to keep the player who almost moved to Leeds Unitedwww.coventrytelegraph.net
Part of it is club culture too. Know you'll be looked after by your employer, and you're happier, more willing to go the extra mile for them, and more loyal to them as a result.And if he breaks down again we've got one less wage available for a player who could be on the pitch.

Would say there's zero chance of Robins not offering him a contract.

Players already at the club, and those thinking of joining the club, will look at how we treat people who work for us. So far, we've treated Jones well, and that's to our credit. That benefits us, too, beyond Jodi Jones.
None of that applies to football
Only a 5% chance of the injury reoccurring apparently which is tremendous.
I didn't really understand what MR meant by this. There's a 5% chance of him tearing his ACL again? That doesn't exactly fill me with optimism.
Footballers are people too.None of that applies to football
Why would it not?
What if he said a 95% chance it won't reoccur?
Footballers are people too.
I know how probabilities work, for the record!
5% seems worryingly high to me? Has to be well beyond the average. And does it refer to the chance of him suffering another injury when facing the same kind of challenge, or just his general likelihood of re-injury? If there's a 1 in 20 chance of him going down for a fourth time, that has to affect what kind of contract he gets from us.
I wouldn’t fly in a plane it it had a 5% chance of falling out the sky
You're right of course in most cases, especially where a player is in demand from a higher divisionBecause when you read footballer biographies none think like that. It’s a transient industry and utterly selfish both ways.
When managers are sacked players are rarely impacted and move on. They rarely socialise with each other and some very successful players admit they deliberately refused to have any relations with players away from the club.
If Jones is kept on does well after a couple of months his agent will force a move on the players terms. If a player is not considered good enough he’s moved on. Other players really will not care either way
What if I told you it had a 95% chance of landing safely though?
You're right of course in most cases, especially where a player is in demand from a higher division
It's slightly different in these circumstances from what I hear
Jones is settled in the area and has put down roots here
He would much prefer to re-establish himself with our club as he recovers rather than move elsewhere
If all works out well and the club get an approach with an offer they can't refuse obviously things change
Much less than 5% chance of that happeningAnd if he scored 2 hare tricks in his first 4 games and Man Utd contact his agent?
It's a bit different if you're offered the chance of a £500k pa pay rise, to being told Portsmouth are interested in you.And if he scored 2 hare tricks in his first 4 games and Man Utd contact his agent?

Yes there is. The extreme examples are counterproductive. Nobody is suggesting Rashford will be replacing Biamou next season because we were nice to Jones.Not if being loyal matters

Its hogwash everyone is out flr themselves. What if it was decided we could keep Jones but had to let Max go. What then?
Given his history of 3 ACL injuries, he may have to. Not many clubs will take a punt on guaranteed wagesWhy on earth would he accept that?

I believe we’ll sign him up, but you’ll be looking at league one and two clubs. Unless you’re talking Sunderland or Portsmouth most of them don’t have 2 pennies to rub together.If we don't sign him up (which we will) he won't be short of offers believe me.

the offers will be there but It’ll all be pay as you play. It’s sensible given that he’s been broken down for 3 years
People keep going on about pay as you play. Can anyone name any player on such a deal?I believe we’ll sign him up, but you’ll be looking at league one and two clubs. Unless you’re talking Sunderland or Portsmouth most of them don’t have 2 pennies to rub together.
