I don’t think sentiment exists with the decision makers, they don’t strike me as the type.
Merit you say! Over the course of their previous contracts signed, you believe they both merit 2 year contracts?Extending the contracts of these two players is more financially viable than bringing in their replacements.
Suggesting the club has kept them on out of sentiment is nonsense. They've been kept on based on merit.
Issue here, they were probably advised on these contracts.I don’t think sentiment exists with the decision makers, they don’t strike me as the type.

I do agree though, I believe when the time comes that they wouldn't hesitate stepping in and allowing the axe to drop if something was obvious and clear.
Based on an upturn in recent performances they've have quite rightly been rewarded.Merit you say! Over the course of their previous contracts signed, you believe they both merit 2 year contracts?
For the record, I believe Fulton was deserving of a contract just not a 2 year one.
This contact hasn’t been awarded on basis of what happened under Sheehan and those before him, it’s based on what’s happened since Matos arrived and how the club sees the role of Fulton from this point onwards.Merit you say!

What makes you think they were advised?
Dont perform for a couple of years and then perform forthe last 3 months and get rewarded for it.Based on an upturn in recent performances they've have quite rightly been rewarded.
Sends out a great message to others, put the work in and you get what you deserve.
It's common sense unless you're a David Icke type of supporter.
That's me done, muchas gracias amigo.
Hence why I suggested a 1 year contract at first.This contact hasn’t been awarded on basis of what happened under Sheehan and those before him, it’s based on what’s happened since Matos arrived and how the club sees the role of Fulton from this point onwards.
This event would always create a healthy debate.Hence why I suggested a 1 year contract at first.
Hopefully Fulton is rejuvenated under Matos long term and not just the last few months.
I really hope I am praising Fulton come 12 months time. A few months ago, I wouldn't have even considered Fulton for a new contract but in recent months I have felt he is deserving of a contract offer but I think 1 year might have been the better option.
I'm pretty sure that Matos had some input.Do you believe they made the decision to offer the 2 new contracts off their own back?
Without questionThis event would always create a healthy debate.
Likely and I am certain other people have rather than the owners making the call.I'm pretty sure that Matos had some input.
He was part of the worst midfield we have had at this club in the modern era. Literally bored people to sleep, and drove thousands away from watching the club. His latest contract has only seen him come to life towards the very end of it. All those are facts . And his reward for all that? Unbelievably another 2 year contract . The club have lost the plot.Dont perform for a couple of years and then perform forthe last 3 months and get rewarded for it.
Makes sense I suppose![]()
