I don’t like it and from a fan point of view agree with all that has been said regarding holding the club to ransom. However it works both ways- I wonder what Alvin Appiahs family think?
If it was my son I’m not sure I would be rushing to sign a contract that limited his next move.
Hope it gets sorted one way or another and we see BJ for a few seasons help spearhead an assault on the premiership. Realistically I think we just need to enjoy watching him whilst we have him…
I do understand you point about the Johnsons having to look after their own interests. Signing the contract will only limit their options for the length of the contract.
Both parties need to get round the table as a new contract can be beneficial to both.
BJ gets more money as soon as he signs. Forest get protection that asset isn't going to leave on the cheap.
Can they think slightly outside the box, so that the release clause goes up a set amount with appearances/goals/assists etc.
The Johnsons have no point whatsoever.
Brennan has been the beneficiary of top class development afforded to him by the Academy.
The very same Academy which is funded by the sale of promising young talent which came before him; his sale, when it comes, will fund the players who are just entering the development pipeline.
This needs to be called out for what it is, naked greed.
Brennan will be set for life if he is sold for 8m or 12m or whatever; the club should not cave in to his demands.
If he has not signed a new deal by the end of the year, sell him in January.
