Fox Ulike Posted 23 April 2014 Share Posted 23 April 2014 So apparently only 23 medals are given to the Club. 18 for players, one for the Manager, one for the physio, one for the club secretary (or equivalent) and two more for non-playing staff. Just trying to work out the players. I think 16 are nailed on then it's two from KP, GTF and Hammond. Physio? Are u sure? Surely Craig Shakespeare deserves one ahead of Logan or the psysio. Anyhoo its only a bit of metal. Nothing to stop the club minting a few extras and dishing them out to all the squad members. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FL regulation 37.1: The Club declared the Champion Club of each Division shall hold the Championship Trophy of that Division until the next Season's League Competition is concluded. When the winners of the trophies shall have been ascertained they shall be handed over to such winners who shall return the same to the Executive on or before 1 May in the following year in like good order and condition, provided always that the winning Club shall, from time to time throughout the year, on request from The League, release the trophy to The League for such purposes as The League shall require. The League shall present to the Championship Club of each Division 23 souvenirs comprising 18 for the Players, one for the chief administrator/club secretary, one for the Manager, one for the Physiotherapist and two for staff other than Players. It shall be the responsibility of the Club to determine to which of its Players the souvenirs should be presented. Additional souvenirs may be presented with the consent of the Executive.

Captain... Posted 23 April 2014 Share Posted 23 April 2014 18 for the players? Is this part of the new FFP rules to discourage massive squads, pretty studid limiting it to 18 when most teams use around 25-30 players in a season, even with our fairly settled side we have used 23 players in the league and 19 have made more than 10 appearances.

Countesthorpe Fox 1884 Posted 23 April 2014 Share Posted 23 April 2014 Does the executive mean the club? Yeah so Susan whelan will have to order more if she feels it fitting! Of you were sat in Logan position you'd all want a medal wouldn't you! Let him have one, then he can have his testimonial match aswell knowing that he's done this club proud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAprice_ Posted 23 April 2014 Share Posted 23 April 2014 I'd give one to St Ledger as well. It's not just about what the players do on the pitch. We are a team. The likes of St Ledger and Logan are great personalities to have behind the scenes. They really help with the squad unity. It's not just about who's played the most minutes.

JJS84 Posted 23 April 2014 Share Posted 23 April 2014 Can't fully understand the bile being spat at Conrad.....That he might be entitled to a medal, or picked up a player bonus is not his fault. He didn't make the rules, nor did he pick the team/squad every week. The fact that he's happy to 'warm the bench' week after week, season after season should earn applause for loyalty, not criticism... Notable that virtually all the 'keepers we've had over the last few seasons, full time and loanees, have praised his off-field contribution to the cause. In this day and age 'one club' players are virtually an extinct species. Logan's never rocked the boat nor thrown his toys out.....I for one applaud him! This! He has a tough gig, the club won't let him go sale or loan as he is the back up. Not his fault our no.1 has played every game. Still only 28 to, in theory he has almost as long left in his career as he has had to date. Crazy stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozartfox Posted 24 April 2014 Share Posted 24 April 2014 Having a dig at Conrad is similar to saying a Fireman should not get paid if he has not put any fires out this month. His role is to come on during a match if Kasper gets injured. Hardly his fault Kasper enjoyed an injury free season is it. Give him a medal.

We have some real t**t of fans sometimes. I would rather have someone like Conrad that is loyal and doesn't rock the boat, then someone he has the potential to cause friction amongst the goalkeepers.

Yeah, but this fireman's not put out any fires for about ten years now. He just sits at the station while all the other firemen put out the fires.

ThorpeAstleyFox Posted 24 April 2014 Share Posted 24 April 2014 I e-mailed the Football League during our League 1 season and they said that medals are automatically awarded to all players who have made 12 or more league appearances but that the club could purchase as many additional medals as they wanted.

LCCFox96 Posted 24 April 2014 Share Posted 24 April 2014 I hope he plays against either Huddersfield or Doncaster. We've seen rotation in just about every other position and it would be nice for him to make a league appearance in a title winning season. As for the medals I thought - like someone mentioned above - it was just being named in the squad but I guess the 10 bench appearances seems more plausible and is probably right.

Logan played against Middlesbrough in 2009-10 when we had made the play-offs so I'd expect he'll get a game in at least one of the last two matches. Fair enough really, if you're trying to create a squad ethic and a team spirit it's only fair that everyone gets a chance when it's reasonable for them to do so.

Richard Posted 24 April 2014 Share Posted 24 April 2014 If it's 18 medals then just give them to the 18 players most involved with the match day squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bert Posted 24 April 2014 Share Posted 24 April 2014 I would imagine the club will buy the extra medals. With this squad and the team spirit (something Pearson himself is very pro and has constantly reiterated it's a squad game) I would be really surprised were they to leave one of the lads out and not give them a medal.

leftsideoverhere Posted 24 April 2014 Share Posted 24 April 2014 Far from being a regulation tied to FFP, the inclusion of 'Club Secretary' sounds to me like this regulation was written in about 1920, when clubs probably went the whole season using 13 or 14 players and 18 was a generous allowance of medals for playing staff. I'm sure the club will cough up for extra medals, if the league says they can buy them. I'm in favour of everyone in the squad getting one - Conrad has played a role this season, in training every day and before every game. His job is to be ready to play if called upon, and (although we've not needed to test him) we have no evidence that he did that job badly. So he should be rewarded for the squad's success. That's kind of the definition of a team sport, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox Ulike Posted 24 April 2014 Share Posted 24 April 2014 Poor old Logan won’t get a medal. Schmiecal, De Laet, Konchesky, Schlupp, Morgan, Wasly, Moore = 7 Drinkwater, King, James, Knockaert, Mahrez, Dyer, hammond = 7 Vardy, Nugent, Wood, = 3 That’s 17. Taylor-Fletcher and Phillips will have to fight it out for the last medal. Seems harsh on one of them. Miguel also will miss out. As will one-game wonder SSL.

All the players in the squad will get one, if they want one. I think some of the players who have played few games or been injured have declined the offer of a medal. That speaks volumes about their character in my book. Let's all just enjoy our moment of glory, I for one didn't expect it. There's highs and lows in football so I'm going to enjoy this, next season is a bonus so I will try and enjoy that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
