Doc, I hope your mate's picked up on the right vibe re: Dugan.
If the club has set a deadline of the end of this week to sign on as reported on Foxsports late last week, I am not confident...even less so after yesterday.
I dont go by what the media reports. It was reported that Dugan wanted his contract sorted before round 1.
Then there was an apparent deadline for before week 2.
Now its before week 3.
The media need the stories for people to buy into (yes thats a dig at bring the noise and his media sources ).
Id much rather go off what people have heard from within the club to be honest.
Like its been said, things do change last minute... but you get a better understanding of where its at when its from people from within.
Duges will have to take less, and saints will have to pay a bit more, but the vibe is its not "not do-able".
Look at hasler with the dogs... all the media reports him saying he is in negotiations for a extension.
He said so himself... so did the club... yet last year there was a report he needs a top 4 finish to save his job there.
He has now said he is in talks to stay 2 more years...
What if they loose the next 2 or 3 games?
Things change last minute.
Some on here are total morons... they make stupid people look smart... they think everything must be as is said and no changes can happen.
A week is a long time in football as they say.
Things change.
If duges plays like he did last week for the next 10 weeks he will be worth 1.1 million.
If he plays like he did yesterday he will be worth 550k max....
Its called going with the flow...
But at the moment... i can tell you from i have been told... the vibe about duges is all good.
