In one day he's told all the idiots to stop moaning about backwards passes and now giving Wes a new deal. Those who were militantly against Puel must be pretty conflicted right now about some of his comments. I think people will be very happy to be spoken to (via the press or in pressers) so they understand what’s going on ..... and the players will appreciate ‘proper’ communication from the manager as to their future relationship with the club so they feel part of ‘the project’ the manager and the club need to be together with their messages ..... we had heard a while ago that wes was likely to get another year but no explanation as the club doesn’t comment and the previous manager either wasn’t allowed or was unable to do so. Rodgers now explains what his ideas are re this contract extension - mainly a coaching capacity with the odd cup game chucked in there ......
OhYesNdidi Posted 9 March 2019 Posted 9 March 2019 EVans, Maguire, benkovic all ahead of him + Soyuncu. He will be a coach so I’d expect his contract to reflect that. Shouldn’t be on anything like the one in terms of wages per week than he is on atm

Izzy Posted 9 March 2019 Posted 9 March 2019 Maybe Wes will turn the contract down and decide to drop down a level so he plays week in, week out...
LinekersApples Posted 9 March 2019 Posted 9 March 2019 There’s a lot of negativity, but I presume it’s by those who haven’t read the whole thread. There will be an offer and it will be made clear that Wes is a back up player. There will also be offers from elsewhere and possibly longer deals. I want him to go, but only because I want him partnering benny at our feeder club down the road.

Royston. Posted 9 March 2019 Posted 9 March 2019 Risky. Mind you, Wes has been the glue holding our impressive form together this season...
Stevosevic Posted 9 March 2019 Posted 9 March 2019 Can people moaning not read? It's clear he's not going to play much and will be kept on more as a leader around the club. He's our best ever captain. If all parties concerned are happy with that then that's fine by me.
Stevosevic Posted 9 March 2019 Posted 9 March 2019 2 hours ago, Babylon said: Was our best defensive spell not with him and Evans playing? Yes.
Blanchflower78 Posted 9 March 2019 Posted 9 March 2019 Pundits will love this. Player power forces club to give skipper another 12 months despite failings on pitch....

Most of the time i could infer from what was going on the pitch what Puel wanted. Didnt need it spoonfed Rodgers explained why he changed the formation against Watford but it didnt make me feel any better about how s*** we were I dont even really believe what you're saying tbh. Its about personalities and no more imo, to be frank
Foxhateram Posted 9 March 2019 Posted 9 March 2019 The negative people around here at the moment are doing my head in. We're offering one of our best ever CBs and our best ever captain a one year contract in a more back up/ coach capacity. How can anyone moan about that? There is so little respect for our title winning champions it's crazy. People's memories are so short lived. All 22 of that squad that year deserve to have a capacity at the club for as long as they want it. As long as it reflects their current ability and form. And this contract definitely does do that.
MGLCFC Posted 9 March 2019 Posted 9 March 2019 Lots of talk about us signing someone with experience who wouldn't mind sitting on the bench. Surely, Morgan fits the bill. Yes he is past his best, but would do a job in an emergency.
reynard Posted 9 March 2019 Posted 9 March 2019 Really this a no lose option for the club. He may well not sign it as there are rumours Forest would like him back and may well offer a longer contract. He's not as bad as some on here are making out. If he's around as an experienced pro basically providing back up to what may well be 2 inexperienced, at this level, centre backs then I've no problem with that. Also by doing this the club is showing repsect to a senior pro and a 1 year extension isn't over commiting themsleves. Treating players well is an important selling part for clubs like us. We need to attract players and we're fighting alongside a number of clubs of similar financial stature. An outward sign of how we treat players won't do us any harm with agents and prospective players.

jamesmilner Posted 9 March 2019 Posted 9 March 2019 This " hes gonna coach " and " he's a back up player " is a cop out and you know it !!
Foxes1 Posted 9 March 2019 Posted 9 March 2019 Will replace Maguire when he goes to Man Utd in the summer, Evans & Morgan in defence plenty of experience there , with Benkovic & Soyuncu as back up.

That’s because Benkovic is on loan at Celtic until the end of the season. I was talking about next season when the contract extension kicks in (if he wants it)

Playing Morgan is just going backwards.

Fox92 Posted 9 March 2019 Posted 9 March 2019 Waste of money and position that could be spent elsewhere, specifically for another player. Puel was rightly trying to ease out the older players as we saw with Huth. If it's a coaching role then I think it's right but Morgan is fit enough to get a contract as a player elsewhere.
Grebfromgrebland Posted 9 March 2019 Posted 9 March 2019 Morgan is being kept on for his dreaded dressing room influence.
