Players contracts

[Fergal]

In view of the impending departure of one of our best players what can we or any football club do to ensure that players honour their contract?  It seems that the contracts are not worth the paper they are written on..

In view of the impending non-departure of one of our worst players what can we or any football club do to ensure that players have some honour?  It seems that the contracts are worth millions more the paper they are written on..

Over to you, Stephen.

Those who want to go to that London should be told most graphically and in no uncertain terms about the quality of the tap water in that neck of the murky woods.

If only HS2 was up and running, we'd then be able to hang on to the likes of Benteke.

Not to mention that they'll either get mugged or not appreciated.

Nothing wrong with them..

You could change company if you wanted, as long as you gave your notice. Should you be locked to a company for 4 years unless they're willing to pay for you?

We can have balls and make him stay for the next 3 years. 7m on decent wages, would be worth what we paid to let him go at the end.

There are not too many jobs that involve you signing up for a fixed period at the outset, aside from military service, also not many businesses have to make a significant initial financial outlay to gain your services, so I'm not sure your analogy is perfect. 
 We've grown increasingly accustomed to the need to renew a contract before it reaches it's final 18/12 months and this whole affair may cause a shift in perceptions again.  Unfortunately I don't see any way to make a player honour their contract.  Football and free market economics: the perfect partners.
