Don't contracts run until 1st July though?The season ends in 2 months time. A family rental for that period would cover it.
(trying not to get my hopes up too much! But its far better that the family are giving it a try in Devon than not)
they do, but players also have holidays. And I don't think clubs normally ask players to come in to train after the season ends. You often hear of departing players clearing out their flat/house in the days after the season ends.Don't contracts run until 1st July though?
The age old problem still exists however, finance. At the end of the day, no matter what we can offer him in terms of game time, environment etc, if other clubs come in offering far better terms then his decision can end up being based on family finances.I'm more pinning my hopes on KMcD wanting to play as much as possible. He's missed so much game time in recent years. If he joins a bigger/higher club he'll probably, at age 34 turning 35, only play bits and pieces. With ECFC he will get lots more game time. Kev - you know it makes sense!
We could offer a coaching role and to pay for the cost of his badges etc? Maybe not so much upfront but we'll be investing in a future for him once his playing days are over... which probably isn't far off now.The age old problem still exists however, finance.

Great idea ! Do you intend also to give Gary Caldwell a pat on the back for signing him ?Fundraiser? Whatever we raise can be his signing on fee?
Of course. Either way we need to persuade him to stay at least next season.Great idea ! Do you intend also to give Gary Caldwell a pat on the back for signing him ?
Player / coach role - reminds me a bit of the great Rob Edwards.Of course. Either way we need to persuade him to stay at least next season.
