Haggischomper Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Is a pre-contract binding? Perhaps they can opt out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaka Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 They are usually binding. Bit of a novel Idea I know but maybe,just maybe they are planning ahead! 1 or 2 good players on pre contracts in jan then only perhaps 2 or 3 signings in the summer.

Frazzie Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Surely the budget from the chairman would be larger if they were promoted, and therefor they'd be looking for a higher quality of player? And why would the player himself commit to a team that may be operating in League one when the next six months could see him win a move to a Championship side?

niall Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Only by mutual agreement. pretty sure they have clauses in them regarding relegation and manager changes. So if the current manager gets sacked after having a PCA with a player, the new manager has the option to cancel it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if he signs a pca with SU he could be with a championship side in 6 months! Wether its Sheff Utd or a lower champ side the difference in wages wdnt be too much,but it'd be double or treble what he is currently on no matter who it is. From the SU side,they get a player capable of playing in the champ for relative peanuts,if their budget increases next year they can now spend it on 2 or 3 quality players instead of 3 or 4.Its forward planning,an alien concept to MFC I know but has its uses!

weeyin Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Its forward planning,an alien concept to MFC I know but has its uses! You think SU has less debt than MFC thanks to their insightful forward planning? It also makes you wonder how they ended up in League 1. Was that in the plan too?

Shaka Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Aye I forgot its fuckin daft to sign a good quality player on a pca for buttons when you can wait till the summer and either spend more on a lesser quality player or blow a tonne on sum1 just cause you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAM Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Just heard Murphy interviewed by Chick Young on radio and he was choking back tears! All the best to you Jamie hope it works out for you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well 4 Europe Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 Brought a tear to my eye! Good luck Jamie in the future, a model professional for one so young, scored some really important goals for us and as I've said before at a time when young Scottish players are jumping ship at the first sign of some cash Jamie has always done right by us and has ensured we'll at least get something him. Good luck to him. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joewarkfanclub Posted January 2, 2013 Report Share Posted January 2, 2013 There is no doubt that Jamie is the most talented player that our club has produced since Faddy. He has scored some fantastic goals and been part of some great moments but if we are honest, consistency has always been a real issue. The last 8 weeks, however, have been some of the most consistent and impressive that we have seen from Jamie in his time at Fir Park and I hope that it is a sign that Jamie is ready to move on and develop into the player we all hoped he would become when we first saw him 5 years ago. All the best Jamie, you have been a credit to our club. I look forward to seeing you at Hampden wearing the dark blue with distinction.

The only thing that sticks in my throat is the fact that we got over a million quid for Faddy, yet what we're getting for Murphy wouldn't even buy you a decent house in Wishaw!

Much has changed in the transfer market since then but its still hard not to feel that we are being shortchanged for Murph. Hopefully Higginbottom will prove an able replacement.
