Very few people will uproot their family to a Town miles away for a one-year contract.
It may get renewed, it may not. In the case of Hurst he's only ever a bad run of results away from losing his job altogether, granted he'll get compensation.
Totally unrealistic to expect anyone to move here. We're geographically isolated and it's a major battle to overcome when we try to sign players. Previously we've been able to offset that with the lower cost of living, but in the age of short term contracts we've almost lost that advantage as no-one will buy a house based on a one-year contract.
Car pools are travelling in are necessary parts of the modern game, even at much higher levels than ours.
Magnay made a fair point regards the car pool, the time and cost of driving in. At this level these are the little details that can sway a decision.
What's wrong with renting? If he owns in Leeds, he can rent his out and probably rent one cheaper here. I'm a big Mags fan but where there's a will, there's a way - if he wants to play here then great, I'd love him to sign but not at any price and not to the detriment of the pay structure.

No one will give you a mortgage based on a one year deal

It's not that simple when you have family to consider.

If you get more than a years contract at this level you've done well. That's just the nature of the game. I don't but in to the whole travelling thing though. Plenty of people travel greater distances to work for less money.
If he wants to sign he will, if he doesn't that's his choice.
Lenny has gone to Wales for Christ sake, he's gambled and obviously fancied the move, Maggers could do the same and move to another club for a different challenge or he could stay and be idolised, it's entirely up to him.

Both Bristol and Cardiff both have pretty good areas to live in so a move to play in Newport is actually quite a good option. God help him if he ends up living in Newport though!
We all know that N.E. Lincs has some nice places to live as well, but we are at the end of the line somewhat so it is no surprise that many of our players over the years have preferred to commute in from the Sheffield/Leeds/Notts areas.

Bearing in mind the intent that the rest of the squad have shown and the fondness Carl showed for GTFC las season, he's going to look a bit foolish if he goes.

very very few lenders will entertain someone who MAY be able to earn for the next 5 or 6 years but then will have to do a career change. The rules changed significantly last year
