Carl Magnay..

How come Lincoln can give Power a two year extension now and are trying to tie up others to contracts and we cant give players like Magnay and Pearson new contracts???

Maybe it's because they want to do that, and we don't.
Maybe they don't think they'll get promoted so can make offers with more specific content.
Maybe their players want to commit their future to Lincoln and ours aren't ready to do that to us.
Maybe their board and manager are more certain of who they want than we are.
Maybe they're ace and clever, and we're sh1t and thick.

Maybe  

I can understand us waiting to see what league we're in next season before offering most players deals.

However, Magnay is certainly one that could quite easily make the step up to League 2 with us. If I were making these decisions I'd be offering him an extension now.

Lincoln is more central and a nicer place to live?  

How has Power stayed there so long? Is he a local lad? Everytime i've seen him he's been a class above.

Don't you just love 1 year deals...  

League interest in Magnay....  

Should be tying up the best players to new contracts asap, whether we go up or not, he would be in the team, Town should be doing what Lincoln is already doing.

Not surprised, the way he is playing. Wouldn't begrudge him a move to the league. It's a short career, especially a player like him who has had serious injuries.

Never mind Palmer, the Major Shareholder should be taking Magnay out for a slap up meal, giving him a lend of his car/horse/anything else he wants to persuade him to sign a new contract.

Yeah same here, it's more of an annoyance than anything, but if he can play at a higher level then all the best luck to him and anyone in the world progressing their career.

Weighing up both sides of the scales, long term contracts could mean money coming into the club, or long term injurys - Liam Hearn was a classic case of both sides, if we had sold him people would of been mega drunk off at the time, we kept him and he ended up injury prone, went for nothing and ended up at Mansfield laid up for another season.

At least with 1 year deals we still have a good chance of keeping our players, and hopefully enhancing the team with better players.  I still think we should attempt to give longer deals for players who are proven at this level, Pearson, Magnay, James Mckeown, maybe 'Shop' - he's proven a lot wrong this year.  

To be fair, McKeown and Pearson are on 2 year deals and John-Lewis' automatic extension (oo er) means he's on a 2.5.
