Hercules has suggested he that messed up worse than Rose did and that "one day it will all come out".
Another Poch book?

None of us knows what went on behind closed doors but according to the ITK, Poch went in to bat for him on his contract, got an agreement for him on what he asked for, and his 'team' then said 'not good enough'. If that is true I can see why Poch doesn't want him around. He's a respectful man and won't stand for any of that shit. Seems like Toby is back-peddling fast but the damage may be too great.
EDIT; I'd love Toby to stay btw.
I'm sure even he will tell you to take everything with a pinch of salt.Hercules has suggested he that messed up worse than Rose did and that "one day it will all come out".
If that means 2 more years of him playing well and we let him go for nothing at 31, I'm cool with that.I read that as him saying hes prepared to run his contract down.

Does he play at centre back as well?. Potentialnos good but we won't win the league with potential. I don't personally give a shit about bridges and relationships. If they can shake hands, man up and perform, crack on.
He can leave for £25m next summer to whoever bids.

Meh. I don’t know what he did or didn’t ‘do wrong’ & don’t really care so long as it’s resolved
That said, he’s been pretty much away a year, has caused a bit of shit - and no one seems to be beating down the door for him to my knowledge.
So for those reasons I think he should get a new contract - but not an improved one
God no - even behavior aside - no way does someone who’s been off a whole season pretty much go from 50 to 120!He's on about 50k if memory serves me right. Relatively speaking that's a very low wage for a top player. He wanted to triple his wages (at a guess) but was a 120% increase, which is a decent amount. No way he stays if we don't improve his current salary and it sends out a bad message if it looks like we put the boot into our own players if they try it on a bit. It's overly punitive. IMO, without knowing what actually went on behind closed doors, I'd like him to sign on for 4-5 years at 120k. I think that's fair because we've already identified that he is worth that.
