Lord help them-I'd sooner have Berrett and Berrett

When a club has an option on a player does the player have any option himself-doesn't seem fair to me.

My guess is their option is the option not to sign the contract with the option in the first place 😂

That's a bit opinionated

Quoted from ginnywings

Scotland isn't producing the talented players it once did, so to improve, they have to shop around, and the lower leagues of Europe is their spending level, unless you are one of the big clubs. To get those players from England to move there, they have to make it financially attractive enough to make it happen. Suppose it's a gamble, like most clubs, speculate to accumulate. Getting from the bottom end of the league towards the middle, gets you to 1.5 million in prize money and the teams at the top end are nearing 3 million, so if a few players, such as our Macca can help them move a few places up the league, they will pay for themselves almost.

£3m. That's about what each then Div 1 club (Championship) was due to get per season under the ITV Digital Deal all those years ago.

It's not a slave contract. It's like they sign a deal that if they perform they get a contract extension.
