You open discussions on contract extensions well in advance if you intend to keep the manager/player/employee of whatever type.

And it will make such a manager a more tempting target for poachers, just like us with Hurst after a few months in league football. I think the fact that Ipswich have given him a 3 year contract will be lost on him. That sort of thing doesn't compute with GTFC board and its acolytes.

How long ago were we talking about this very appointment on here - 4 - 5 weeks ago? Unless of course someone on here knew all along. Do we get a sell on? "Knowledge speaks, but wisdom listens."
