Happy Fox Posted 28 November 2013 Posted 28 November 2013 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25138192 "It would be good to get it tied up so I can concentrate on the football," Morgan told BBC Radio Leicester. "It's not a distraction yet, but I'm sure when the January transfer window comes around something will have to happen." Morgan is approaching 100 senior appearances in all competitions for the club and is one of several players - David Nugent, Kasper Schmeichel and Lloyd Dyer among them - who will be out of contract at the King Power Stadium at the end of the season. Manager Nigel Pearson's current deal also runs out in the summer.
LCFC FOX Posted 28 November 2013 Posted 28 November 2013 What he wants is the same deal hes on. He would snap that up. If he gets offered lower he will wait
Guest MattP Posted 28 November 2013 Posted 28 November 2013 Fact we are letting all these run down shows just how financially screwed we are.
Happy Fox Posted 28 November 2013 Author Posted 28 November 2013 Fact we are letting all these run down shows just how financially screwed we are. Or we are being sensible and waiting till we deliver promotion then the time for contracts can be discussed.
Soar Fox Posted 28 November 2013 Posted 28 November 2013 Or we are being sensible and waiting till we deliver promotion then the time for contracts can be discussed. Could be too late by then. When can players sign pre-contracts for another club?
Guest MattP Posted 28 November 2013 Posted 28 November 2013 Or we are being sensible and waiting till we deliver promotion then the time for contracts can be discussed. That won't look sensible if Kasper and Wes have signed pre contacts in January and Pearson has left to join Fulham or Norwich.
Guest MattP Posted 28 November 2013 Posted 28 November 2013 I can't remember another situation where a club has allowed its best players and manager contract run down and it be classed as sensible, even more so when all three would clearly be sought after and are worth money in the current market
foxfanazer Posted 28 November 2013 Posted 28 November 2013 We do need to address these contract issues. Players performances coupd suffer if they don't feel they have a long term future at the club, whether they admit it or not
Matt Posted 28 November 2013 Posted 28 November 2013 It's a huge gamble and it could work either way. There shouldn't be a need for a 'carrot to be dangled' but the carrot is there, keep up the good, hard work, get promoted, earn yourself a nice juicy contract here, where they are all settled.
Happy Fox Posted 28 November 2013 Author Posted 28 November 2013 Maybe the reality is we cannot offer new contracts God knows! I am just hoping this siege mentality where everyone is putting a shift in towards promotion which is the key goal once that has been achieved then contracts on the same terms or better can be offered but reality is we cannot offer contracts now.
Guest MattP Posted 28 November 2013 Posted 28 November 2013 It definitely is a money issue, no way would we be letting these run down through choice.
yorkie1999 Posted 28 November 2013 Posted 28 November 2013 Thing is , if this lot don't get us promoted this season, do we really want them on new 2-3 year contracts?
MPH Posted 28 November 2013 Posted 28 November 2013 If Morgan isn't tied down by Jan forest will be all over him....
foxfanazer Posted 28 November 2013 Posted 28 November 2013 Surely a contract could me made for two different outcomes, ie; promoton, non promotion? Is that stupid?
Blue will Posted 28 November 2013 Posted 28 November 2013 We need these players and manager whether we go up or not, get them signed now with a bonus if we are successful and manage to go up
Guest MattP Posted 28 November 2013 Posted 28 November 2013 Surely a contract could me made for two different outcomes, ie; promoton, non promotion? Is that stupid? Not at all. Problem is Kasper and Morgan won't sign something that could tie them down to a lower wage in a lower division when they could probably secure a move on more money to the premier.
lgfualol Posted 28 November 2013 Posted 28 November 2013 Oh god can you imagine if all 4 went for free at the end of the season.
dmayne7 Posted 28 November 2013 Posted 28 November 2013 Could be too late by then. When can players sign pre-contracts for another club? 6 months in advance for a player overseas, 1 month for a club from the same nation. Problem is that if it gets to that stage and we don't have these deals done then they're gone for nothing. Worth trying to broker a deal where we get them to commit on the same wage for 6 months, then if we get promoted they get a pay rise to an agreed amount, if don't go up, we put in a low release fee in there so that way we're still getting more than we would have done.
Harry - LCFC Posted 28 November 2013 Posted 28 November 2013 Thing is , if this lot don't get us promoted this season, do we really want them on new 2-3 year contracts? Yes.
Jace Posted 28 November 2013 Posted 28 November 2013 Matt P is completely right there must be some serious uncertainty on the cash flow front for this to be happening as it would be in the clubs interest to keep these players in contract. If we were promoted they would only want much higher contracts so the club must be very fearful of the prospect of not being promoted.
sylofox Posted 28 November 2013 Posted 28 November 2013 Oh god can you imagine if all 4 went for free at the end of the season. They could be gone in all but body in jan. That really would not be good for the squad.

I agree it really is a last chance saloon as far as promotion is concerned, this season's outcome will define the clubs future in the long term and short term.
jamesmilner Posted 28 November 2013 Posted 28 November 2013 Or we are being sensible and waiting till we deliver promotion then the time for contracts can be discussed. i think you're right .
