Still think we'll sign a more experienced goalie on a free to be first choice with Burge as backup.

Tbh I still think Murphy won't leave us due to him seeing that he won't get any time on the pitch with the other goalkeeper who is there who's name escapes me,there's my optimism but here's hoping,really hoping he stays he has been brill all season and I hope we offer him a new contract before it's too late !!! #PUSB !!! P.s that was an add on to the previous post I posted !! Lol !!I heard we were in talks with Thomas kuszack and Ross Turnbull !!!! #PUSB !!!! Who would you rather !!??
"When I spoke to him at the end of the season we both put our cards on the table and were very transparent about where we were"
And theres the problem !. He said in Jan he wanted to stay. We should have offered him a contract so he could have stood by that statement. To let it run down is our own doing !
That may be, but it's clearly policy under Fisher. You can see the argument from a "let's not have loads of shit players on long contracts like we always used to" point of view, but it's a very risky strategy and you lose a lot in compensation. It's hard to make a judgement call without knowing the budget and the figures offered/wanted.
there is "Long contracts" and "no contract". Offering Murphy an 18 month contract in Jan would have tested his "i want to stay" comments.
Wow!...Deja-Vu....Take out the name Joe Murphy, and insert Keiren Westwood."When I spoke to him at the end of the season we both put our cards on the table and were very transparent about where we were" And theres the problem !.

I might be wrong but didn't Westwood turn down a new contract? Honestly can't remember.
Ranson and Boothroyd said he had, Westwood protested otherwise.
There was a trend at that time for a number of players to claim promised offers never actually happened, wasn't just Westwood.
not just at that time, it seems to be now as well

And Jay Tabb, that was another around that time.
Ahhh the heady days of trusting Ranson.
It was a simpler time.
Is this where I have to bite my tongue and resist telling you so...?

Kieran Westwoods move to Sunderland may have made him rich but it hasn't enhanced either his domestic or international career!
Only Baker left from last season's spine!
You don't offer contracts in January when you don't know which Division you'll be playing in or what your budget might be.
It's not 'Rocket Science', Championship clubs will be paying a lot more than we can afford.

18 League appearances in 3 years on a contract allegedly worth between £4:5 & £5 million, happy days.

"Coventry City boss Steven Pressley admits that it’s looking increasingly likely that Joe Murphy will switch to another club this summer.
The Sky Blues are unable to compete with Championship clubs in terms of wages and with the 32-year-old having opened talks with Huddersfield, hopes of convincing him to agree a new deal at City are fading."
Exactly the reality, we have to move on.
Onwards and upwards, just for a change!
