I actually feel pretty confident that in the summer, in the new stadium, with the extra income, he will be offered a new contract with a huge wage rise. I feel he wants to be part of this journey and wants to stay.Sorry, but I totally disagree with this. If Toby will not sign a new contract then it is totally out of Poch's hands. We can get £75M+ for him this summer, but only £25M for him next summer (as per his contract clause). I know which one of the two Levy will go for. Quite right too.
However, if Toby just wants a decent contract (say £150k per week) and Poch wants to keep him then I am sure it would be Poch's decision and Levy would be happy to offer that (based on the ITK we have received about funding for new contracts this summer). The key thing is that it all depends on what Toby wants with Poch's input secondary.
