McCormack to sign Contract extension

Toby Ward-Smith · January 31, 2016, 04:06:24 PM

Sky sporting that McCormack is close to agreeing a contract extension.
How has he gone from handing in a transfer request to signing a new contract? He's clearly staying for the money especially after only extending his deal in the summer.

Signing of the season if we keep him.

Did he really put in a transfer request ?

Don't think we can afford to be without him for the rest of this season but happy for him to go in the summer of he's so unhappy with us! The longer the contract he's on, the more we can cash in on him.
Seems like good business if true.

Statistics rule ok

Maybe he never actually handed in a transfer request? If he did a contract extension shows he is at least committed for the short term.

Sign him up and club only gets more money for him when he leaves

McCormack is already on a contract until 2019 when he will be 33 years old. Why would the club be offering him an extension now?

More tosh, I suspect.

ToodlesMcToot · January 31, 2016, 05:06:38 PM

I guess anything is possible but, it's difficult to see him handing in a transfer request, having it denied, and then opening discussion on an extension w a raise all in the space of a week.

The rumour is that the new contract would be more lucrative without necessarily being any longer.

Sounds perfectly reasonable to me, even if he has put in a transfer request.
But of course both are just rumours at the moment.

How does this work under FFP rules?

Personally seen this so many times over the years in the company I work for.

Best performing sales person threatens to leave
Persuaded to stay and 'rewarded' with increased salary and bonus package
Best performing sales person continues to perform well
Best performing sales person plays same trick again a year later or just leaves

The pay rise Ross is reportedly getting = cost of keeping us in the Championship

Isn't this what Wayne Rooney did a couple of years ago?

Maybe Ross actually likes the club but was offered more money else where, so now club offers to match the offer he's ok

A couple of weeks ago when the Boro rumours were about,
someone on Talksport said that he was happy at Fulham.

Pretty sure it works under FFP because we are now working under the 10 million salary cap instead of the 6....under which we failed to comply and are now being punished for. Plus, like Statto states, embargo only impacts registration of new players.

Sensible response by FFC.

Not only do we retain our best player but the player also benefits so hopefully no sulking - and my only major criticism with Mac is he is a sulker when things are not going his way.

But even more so it is a visible show of support for SJ - he publicly declared he didn't want a player to leave and the club have backed him.

win-dup · January 31, 2016, 06:40:40 PM

Perhap's he's scared of being booed for wanting a transfer.

Rhodes transfer to Boro has collapsed so that might put a spanner in the works

To be honest, even IF he did hand in a transfer request (none of us actually know), you cant blame him. Probably sold Premier League football within 2 seasons etc and hes now playing for a team in danger of a relegation battle.
