Quote: Winslade's Offload "I agree, we do need to show loyalty. I think TS needs to extend Bridge's contract for next year. OK, Bridge is a bit crocked, but he has been a very loyal player for us over the years and how better to show our appreciation than to offer him another two year contract ?'"
I think, with respect, you may have missed my point. I wasn't suggesting players be given contract extensions as a "thank you". I just think we could speak of them a little better when it's clear it is time to move on. Seems we treat players who are of diminishing use to us very poorly on here.
I wouldn't mind but in a few years those players will be lauded as "legends" and spoken of in awe.
All I am suggesting is a little balance and perspective between oscillating within 2 seasons of "we have one of the strongest squads in the league" to "we need a mass clearout"
As I said the fickle, cynical nature of it saddens me.
