Steve Watts Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 James Wilson has signed a contract extension tying him to the club until 2014. It's been a very positive week so far! Long may it continue along the same vein! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

II Wurzel II Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Excellent news, definatly needed to tie him down for a bit longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Jordan Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Fantastic news, I was worried he was going to leave on a free at the end of the season like Nicky is. Fingers crossed everything is starting to become more positive now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizzle Jordan Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Good news, he is a talent for sure. Just needs the right partner along side him i think and he will be a star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hinsleburg Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 maybe signs of the new manager coming in and telling the board who he wishes to retain?

Tony Montana Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 This is exactly why we lost Steve Coppell and our ambition. No manager in charge, so the board intefere and give a player a new contract. The next manager may not even have him in his plans. Crazy ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy ! i can see where your coming from but this one makes sense to me. so if maynard wanted to sign his contract would you tell him he's got to wait till we sign a new manager?

You got a good point, but we don't know the circumstances behind the offer... Even if the new manager don't want him, we'll be able to get a transfer fee for him. Otherwise he walks away on a free... Somebody else will surely want him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely, the manager is the person who has to work with the players each day, and knows the style of how he wants them to line-up and play, and what plans he has for that player. Whats the point in giving a player a new contract, lets say 10k a week, if hes going to be sat on the bench each game. The new manager may aswell sell Maynard in January anyway and free up some transfer funds to build his own team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new manager may aswell sell Maynard in January anyway and free up some transfer funds to build his own team. but from a business point of view having them on longer conracts especially in maynards case will increase sell on value by double at least. It will also be very hard to sell him in january because he knows he can leave for nothing in a few months. there will be PL clubs in for him in jan if he doesnt sign a contract as they know they can get him for cheaper and may find it hard to get him once he is on a bosman as we tried to do with jones.

I understand your view completely and agree in a way. But I still think it should be done with a new manager in place rather than the board being involved yet again.

GrahamC Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 It's brilliant news. James has been excellent so far and manager or no manager, tieing your best young prospect to a deal beyond the end of the season makes perfect sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lordofthebling Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 He already has the right partner in Nyatanga My health can't deal with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizzle Jordan Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 I like Nyatanga but i think another good centre half will be very important at the end of the season as Fonts looks like he'll be off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hinsleburg Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 how can it be board interferance when we don't have a manager to interfere with? Thats my point, what if the new manager has his own ideas to bring somebody in when the january transfer window opens. It shows the board are willing to make decisions with or without a managers ideas or suggestions. (unless of course like some have said the contract was already on the table) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Economou Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Think JW is a good defender but bit disappointed with his distribution. Perhaps being a bit harsh but was hoping for a bit more rather than the hoof downfield, often straight into touch. Hopefully with more games/confidence his 'creative' side will emerge.

Port Said Red Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 My health can't deal with that. Despite the overall defensive frailties I think that the two of them look like forging a good partnership, they are both very young by centre half standards and Wilson has limited experience because of his injuries, but they could be a pairing of immense talent especially if they were to play at international level as a pair as well.

Melksham Red Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Is he that good? Ive not been overly impressed and lets remember he's been a big part in a shambolic defence. He probably won't even feature under the new manager long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably won't even feature under the new manager long term. Eh? The problems have been around the centre halves. Behind them, to the side and in front. If the same determination and application had been shown by these players as JW and LN have shown we'd be in mid table comfortably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sargent Pepper Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 Can't believe no one has thought that perhaps the new manager has already been selected and that he okay'd this deal. It's a bit strange otherwise.Conspiracy theories aside, it is an odd time to release this story tho don't you think? I don't think it would have hurt to hang on a week to announce it, if nothing else to show that the new boss is thinking to the future. To announce it now has brought up more questions than answers. Either way this is good news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redhyde Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I don't have an issue with him getting the deal, i think he's well worth it, But i do have an issue doing it with a new manager not yet in who's assessed the squad. That's a terrible thing to do IMO. I just feel we haven't learned much. Maybe we're paranoid about the Rosenior situation happening again though. We can't end up in a situation where a manager has a tonne of players recently signed he doesn't want to play. One of Millen's issues was him signing those players himself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
