sidcow Posted November 3, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted November 3, 2016 (edited) Well friggle me backwards with a teaspoon. Because of a comment in the January transfer thread I checked when Ashley's currently contract expires. It seems that in August 2015 we gave him a new 5 YEAR CONTRACT. 5 blinking years only signed last year. And guess what, at the time he signed this he was STILL CONTRACTED TILL 2017 ANYWAY. I mean what the hell were they thinking? Why offer another 5 years two years ahead of the contract being Up? I understand that for a top star especially if they cost a lot of money and you don't want to lose them for free but Ashley Westwood. What the Hell?

TRO Posted November 3, 2016 Share Posted November 3, 2016 If I was Ashley Westwood (and the money he is on).....I would be in that gym in my own time with an image of David Davis's Torso and not come out until I had mirrored his definition. .....well the odd cup of tea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvfcRigo82 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Bruce obviously has him in his plans.. even if that as a back up until the end of the season. I am confident that once we go up this season he could be another that is out the door come June 2017. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those managers choosing westwood is hardly a vote that it was a sensible decision. And it seems Bruce had to use him due to injury, our previous back to back wins saw him play no part at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm no ITK and this may be completely mistaken, but I think Tom Fox was renewing contracts that summer in order to insert a clause in them giving an automatic wage reduction in case of relegation. I believe this was discussed on here contemporaneously, but I might be wrong. Of course the decision looks wrong in hindsight, because he sucks now, but I guess you need to remember that in August 2015 he was just coming off a few good months under Sherwood, and we were in the process of losing another starting midfielder as well. If he hadn't signed that contract, he'd probably still be here sucking but at twice the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
