I want to extend the contracts.
In situations where we are now, it's going to be tough too.
But if I'm a player now and I'm getting told to extend my contract by a month or two months, I'm worried.
And also, in terms of, you know, if the games get back playing, you know, whether they get injured, whether they lack of form, you know, you'll have been watching players, your club and like we will, we go and watch them again and get our scouts to watch them and they have a different form and you could turn you off and you might not want to sign the players.
So, I agree, there's a lot of players going to be out of contact.
Unfortunately, there's a lot of money going to have to drop down and they're not going to be able to get the wages they want or they'd like.
But in terms of, you know, one thing I've been scratching my head out here, guys, is no one's asked what the players feel about this situation and how would they want to go into it.
What do they want?
Do they want to resume the season?
Do they want to continue to play?
No one's asked the players.
I've seen Rick saying about, yeah, he'll send a letter to the fans.
Great, brilliant, because they are the bread and butter of the football world.
But what about the players up and down the country?
There's probably short of a thousand players in League One or League Two who 50% might be worried about getting the season back up and running and don't want to play because of this virus.
100% Kelly yeah I feel as I said my group of players they've got an agenda they want to go and continue what we started off to do we're sitting pretty in the league we're there we're one point off top yet as a team that's got a game in hand on us but listen we're in a position where we want to keep going and keep striving and my players are but
You've got to understand that there's players in mid-table who potentially have got nothing to play for now.
The contracts are up at the end of the season.
They may have just come back from a bad injury over the last year or two and they don't want to risk it.
And also, they've got bills to pay and mortgages to pay and everything else that goes with it.
