This has probably been asked a few times. Has Butterfield been offered a new contract yet? And if not does anyone know why not?
Yes he has mate, on about 4 x current salary. It looks like he is going to turn it down as quite a few premier league clubs are interested and they would be able to pay him and more importantly, his agent, more. He will probably leave in the summer unless we get a good offer in January.
Re: he's from Bradford Oh ok, that makes a difference then. Well it would to me anyway.......... One thing what does my head in is that we don't seem to have much foresight with our younger players, I mean why didn't we tye him down to a longer term contract ages ago?
Re: he's from Bradford becuase if he'd turned out to be rubbish, we could have been stuck with him on a 5 year deal. chance you take, i'm afraid.
Doesn't have to 5 year deal.......... but he has always looked a prospect, just a longer deal. Or option to extend it etc
