pseudonym Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Am I right in understanding that Corney recently stated in the Press that Simpsom was offerd an 18 month contract in January but refused in favour of a shorter term contract to the end of the season?

opinions4u Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 No idea. But I can understand why he would only have wanted a short contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeneil83 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Yes Corney said that in his Oldham Chronicle rant, but then again he says a lot of things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Yes. Corney said he can understand why Simpson didnt sign an 18 month deal. Simpson wants to stay next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pseudonym Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 So why would simpson if he wants to play for us not sign an eighteen month contract and be faced with a 12 month contract at reduced terms...the truth is that he spent all January looking for a better offer from another club..he is doing the same now. At best we are his PlanB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Ritchie Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Sounds like Simpson who hasn't played a lot of football lately was keeping his options open. Smart kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At best we are his PlanB For one thing, keeping his options open, as people have said. For another, Hudds were probably still paying him a portion of his wage there during that six months (the period left on his contract when it was terminated). He knew he wouldn't have that top-up as of now and probably didn't want to tie himself to the lower salary for a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
