Will Husband renewing or not be an indication..

[Lanc_seasider]

..of what we can expect ambition wise this summer?

He’s 30 now, so you’d expect his next contract to be his most crucial. He’ll want to see his years out playing at the highest level possible. Jimmy’s a better player than Turton and he managed to wangle a Championship deal.

The fact nothings been sorted yet, when the club clearly had every indication of entering negotiations suggests he’s something to mull over. For me if he renews it surely shows certain assurances have been made to him that we will rebuild and be stronger next season. And if he doesn’t, and especially if he doesn’t and goes to a rival League One club, it may be an indication we should perhaps be fearful of what to expect this summer transfer wise.

I would like him to stay but I'm not over bothered abut him as a player

My issue is more the lack of leaders in our squad, we have zero fight or heart in our team, Critchley has created a side full of pussies and at least Husband shows some guts

I’d like him to stay personally. But ability aside, I just worry if he doesn’t it could be down to the club not being able to commit to certain things he wanted assured of.

Yeah will all come down to money and it appears we don' have much

I’d like him to stay but if he’s asking for big money and a contract length we’re not comfortable with then perhaps we’re better moving on.

He’s not irreplaceable.

I'm sure he won't be asking for big money

 

[HighfieldSeasider]

Apparently Husband has already turned down 2 contract offers, he's on decent money but if he's going to be a regular starter again it's far from crazy money for an experienced league one defender.

Wants a two year deal on the same wage I've heard the club want to reduce his wage

 

[hertfordseasider]

And he's primarily a left back which is his best position but with Critchley's shit tactics he's another player who doesn't get to play in his preferred position.

I think he\s probably going to be moving on then.

 

[SeasideTizz]

He was the only one in the team bar Byers when he came in,who’d be in the referee’s ear.

Byers will be a miss.

 

[Insider]

I think he'll resign or re-sign.

 

[DreadPool]

Length of contract might be the issue

 

[OhhhBarryBarry!]

He will have been offered a 1 + 1 which isn't ideal for the player. He'll surely want at least 2 years guaranteed.

 

[fcblackpool]

I'd imagine his agent has been very busy on his behalf and that 2 year + 1 offers are out there, maybe less money, but longer deal.

I think he'll leave.

 

[Maths]

One of only a few players to come out and say nice things about Critchley!!

 

[by the sea UTP]

The club have the option to extend Husband's contract one further year, so the fact that this is being negotiated means we must be trying to reduce his wages.
Husband is a solid left back (a position we don't currently use) but a poor centre back or wingback.
Probably quite easy to replace with an equal level player on a lower wage such as Will Ferry (Cheltenham) or Rio Adebisi (Crewe) - both out of contract too.

There is no option on Husband, that was initiated last year.

14 June 2021
James Husband signs a 2yr +1yr option deal.

 

[North Pier]

I hope he moves on!
We can get / need to have better players if we seriously want a promotion push!
Been a decent player for us but time to go.

 

[Briggs5]

I think it's time for him to move on. I don't rate him tbh. He gives the ball away an is caught out of position too much.

 

[Mcewans Mullet]

Fantastic start to the season, firm drifted. Glimpses back in certain games but that killer first goal at Reading was solely down to him and no one else.
Thanks for all the wonderful memories, including your shithousery towards the knobber fans but time to go.
