    If we lose again

    Should we really be rewarding the manager with a new contract?

    I dunno, I certainly don't think Ritchie should be sacked, but if I were the chairman I'd be a bit reticent to offer a new contract to a manager who had lost 8 of the last 9 games. Think I'd wait and see if results improved.

    I think that's what will happen.

    Surely on AR's agents brief is the level of severance payment...he might even delay signing a new contract if the new one has less favourable terms than his current deal

    tend to agree

    interesting how views change-not so long ago there were people clamouring for GS to sort it out and GS was criticised for saying there was plenty of time and he had been negotiating contracts for years-fickle fans aren't we!

    RE: tend to agree

    I still think AR should get a new contract, and I'd be amazed if GS did not protect the interests of the club in the eventuality of AR leaving either way

    RE: If we lose again

    All you are doing in your Should-Ritchie-Get-A-Contract posts is substituting the numbers, so your next post will no doubt be "9 out of 10", though not for originality.
    Contracts mean little in a football context anyway.If (LSD inspired example)Man United wanted Ritchie, would he stay?

    They're important in two ways

    How much money we pay to sack him and how much compo we get if another club wants him.
