Did DC handle the contracts? I imagine it was the club that set the policy of dishing out short-term contracts given the absolute farce they got themselves into in the years previous. It made sense at the time, but the club were too slow to react once it became clear that we had real assets again which fetch a good price on the marker. It's still pretty unbelievable that Taylor, Bodin and Lockyer only brought back 800k between them given they all ended up in the Championship. We should have been looking at 5m combined. Yes he did, he has publicly said before that he liked the job here as he was left to get on with the job. He also told myself and friends at an event before he only gave Taylor a year after the conference season to keep him hungry. To be fair, Taylor’s first season when we were in the conference was probably his worst with us! He was good but he got a lot better. He should have been offered a much bigger extension half way through the first season back in league two when he really started to take off.

Sorry I have to disagree, he scored 20 goals in the conference. That was the time to tie him down for 2/3 years.

I was probably thinking more about him getting better every season which was also in a higher league each time. If we had another striker who scored 20 plus goals a season we would all be going crazy if he was only offered a new one year deal!

Football managers can't win.
If they sign players on short contracts and then have to let them go, without compensation, they're slaughtered.
If they sign players on longer contracts and they fail to perform like Messi, they're slaughtered.

The obvious solution is to sign the good ones on long contracts and the sh** ones on short contracts.

So what would you offer JCH now, a long contract as he was good for 10(?) months, or a short one as he's been poor for the last couple of months?

To be fair, he's hardly had any service in the last few months. None of the strikers have really. That's why he shoots when he gets the ball from whenever on the pitch.

Staying put then. Just shows his level of ambition as a footballer. I want him serving me my coffee at half time tomorrow.

Was anybody interested in Bennett? At least Cheltenham must rate TN.

DC moved away from signing journeymen on long contracts and it worked for the first couple of years. But then he should have been offering the better players such as Taylor, Bodin etc longer contracts. Then he goes and signs Bennet on a three and a half year deal! Unbelievable! Agreed but for balance he did offer Taylor a renewed contract, but Taylor and his agent had us over a barrel by insisting on the £300k buy out clause.

The contract offered to Bennett must go down as one of the very worst pieces of business by BRFC in recent years. The guy can't even get on the bench and no other club wants him, even on loan. Looks like he's around for another 17 months. It all makes the transaction involving TN a real bargain!

Overall they probably scored a similar number of goals and assists in a Gas shirt.

He shouldn't be put in a Rovers squad again. I wouldn't even play him in the reserves.

Think Bennet given a hard time here, like TN it has not really worked out, when we signed him I remember being quite influential but that influence is long gone. I hope he finds new club and wish him all the best.

Bennett the player when on form and wants to play is a very good player but clearly his attitude towards improving himself and working hard for clubs has been his downfall hence why hes moved around so much. Its frustrating when you can see potential in players but they are happy to sit on a wage bill that's healthy for them and not the club. It's a short career being a football player and I cant see why players wish to waste their careers away through lack of effort?

Bennett is,well I dont know....He has been an awlful player for us.Seems to have a sh**ty attitude, but his wage is not his fault. We are stuck for the best part of another 2 years.
