Almost an end of an era when his contract expires in the summer together with Hendrick. Only Fraser to go summer 25.

What was the thought process? He's adequate and if he's on a long term deal we won't have to pay transfer fees to replace?

 

I think I recall someone mentioning that was the mindset. What a dumb fucking move.

Page 84 for when the contract was signed. Most of us seemed happy enough with him signing it to keep him here, but a fair few questioned the length of it. Got to remember just how fucking awful our CM options were at the time as well mind.

We've come a long way from having Hayden and Shelvey starting for us in CM, and the only money we've spent on that position that's been available for us was Bruno.

Sums up the Ashley era since promotion though. Along with the likes of Ritchie, Shelvey & Gayle, he served his purpose and we should have upgraded at least 2 years ago. Instead they’re still key players which is scary.

 

That was 3.5 years ago and he's still on the books (along with Ritchie).

[Nucasol]

We going to pay him up at the end of the season or have another season where we park him on loan like Hendrick?

We kept Joe White ahead of giving Hayden a squad spot. We shall see if he gets any minutes.

 

I'd we lose another central midfielder then he needs to, I'd be a bit pissed if we still see Ritchie jogging onto the pitch ahead of him.

He's still got two years left at the end of this season

That’s revolting. He’ll be lucky to be League 1 standard by that point. Never want to see a 6 year contract again.

I think Toad Bro-ley has screwed that for everyone. 5 is a good number, if you can’t renegotiate in that time period there’s something wrong and inevitably if your player is that good, you’ll recalibrate wages before then with football inflation.

[Yorkie]

Assumed he'd barely kicked a ball this season but turns out he featured in most games both for Liege and QPR. Hope he keeps his career going. 

[ExiledGeordie]

So is he going to go out on loan again to QOR next season?

Given we’re at the limits of FFP, why would we book an accelerated loss in this period? Paper loss v actual loss?

[Sibierski]

Assume it won’t be full pay off, say he’s on £50k pw, it could be £30k pw paid off over the course of his deal. We get him off the books, and he importantly can be more freely available to talk to clubs, otherwise it would’ve been a whole summer again of us wanting to get as much loan covered as possible, with him ending up somewhere he doesn’t enjoy after an unenjoyable summer. 
 

Just something that’s good for both parties. We get the cost permanently written off and the hassle, he gets to approach all clubs before pre season fully starts to get a fresh start. 

[The College Dropout]

He’s also at an age he can secure 3 maybe 4 year contracts.  Next year that’s likely to dip and he may have further injury issues. 
 

If we pay 70% of his wages and release him. He can probably get another club to get him to 90-100% of that value next season with a commitment for another year, 2, 3 already confirmed.  

[Groundhog63]

Good luck to the bloke. Will be interested in where he ends up.

It's all a bit of guesswork but given we didn't feel the need to sell players in January when bids came in, it's probably fair to assume we are confident of passing FFP/PSR in the 23/24 season. With under 2 months left of the financial period, we now likely have a very good view of how much headroom we have. And assuming we have headroom, it probably makes sense to bring forward a couple of million (circa. £2.5m assuming he's on £50k pw) in cost into the 23/24 financial year which in turn provides more headroom for the 24/25 financial year.
