And the small matter of losing Hamer should focus the mind.

Delusional to think he does. The club would dispense with him if of no use.
Twine not good enough for me. Burnley happy to let him go, every time I’ve seen him just been bystander.
of course change of club may be the spark, but he’s not what we need imo.

We should have the £2mil anyway for the Hamer fee. It should be Styles *and* O'Hare going forward.

For the injury in his workplace that he suffered, while giving full commitment to his employer.
What else should we do?!?

I think Pete is Peter Bone with that attitude
Not laterly though!
Just one of them.
I think a lot of fans will he disappointed as can’t see us doing a lot. Will have to offload a couple first I should think but not sure who Robins will let go - more to free up space than wages.
Still think we need another centre forward option to compete with Simms. Godden just not sharp enough anymore.
And another midfielder, box to box. But as Robins always says, it has to be better than what we’ve got and it isn’t too bad at the moment. Not sure who is out there.

That’s exactly how the club should look at it. Annoying when players hold all the cards in the last year of their contract but if it doesn’t break our wage structure ie put him alongside wright, then I can’t imagine they’d be many complaints from players or fans
Can we please stop using this ill informed rationale.
the point being made is that we assume Coventry City continued to pay COH in full while he was injured. Therefore some loyalty back would be good.
No employer is legally obligated to pay any employee on long term sick in full.
In COH”s case I suspect being paid in full was part of his personal contract with the club, and that is where the legal obligation kicks in.
however the crux of the argument is about his moral obligation not his legal one.

Nonsense. If O'Hare had not recovered we wouldn't offer him a contract. There would have been no loyalty to him.
O'Hare has given us great service and I hope he will stay with us but this criticism of him is completely unfair.

We gave Jones new contracts though.

If Burnley are looking for a saviour to stay up, I don't think Calum is their answer. He will do well in a progressive side but not one in a dogfight.
Six months to get up to speed?

We did and that was impressive, in our favour, made us look like a caring compassionate club, the kind you'd want to join as they looked after their players. That reflected well on us.
Not paying a contracted player any time they're unavailable to play however...!
We don’t need to be hypothetical though because he has recovered.
he could therefore sign a 1 yr deal extension ensuring we get some value for him but also ensuring he gets a good move too.
that’s not nonsense that’s an option that is open to him and his agent.
O’hare would’ve been offered a contract long ago.

Because we thought he would recover. We didn't do so out of loyalty.
Sisu are more caring than Doug?

Just saying this idea that we’re all robotic economic agents doesn’t really pass muster.
He was working for almost a year to get back to the levels of performance that you’re seeing now - that in itself has been a full-time job.
I like Styles, but I think selling O’Hare and spending the money on him would be an obvious downgrade. If £2 million was a steal then someone would have met that release clause by now.

He's a different player, I'm just saying you use the funds on someone like Styles and you've got yourself a good player from the proceeds vs losing him for nothing, its just an example, I'm probably not getting my point across very well.
I still think Styles is a steal and a no brainer for a whole host of Championship clubs.

Didnt Godden sign like a new 3 year contract at the beginning of this season?
i’m hopeful he and Robins acknowledge his time here (albeit he’s been an incredible player and servant) is over. We need better and his 3 year wages would be better spent elsewhere. Will go down as a legend in my eyes though

Exactly.
But worth noting that O’Hare gets his say as well. He may decide to turn down a move in January, even if Cov are offered millions.
Thats because O’Hare gets more options if he is available on a free. More money as well
