A daft question probably but why do clubs sign players on for x amout of years surely you should sing a player to let's say 35 or a retirement age suited to the position it would make players consider a move more serious.

What if they turn out pony and the club want rid? What if clubs change manager and he doesn’t fancy him? Quite a lot to payout to get shot of him then isn’t it.

That just sounds like slavery with extra steps.

It's for club protection. Imagine if we still had another 4 or 5 years on studge. We could neve4 sell him.

But we also could of signed cou to an 8 year deal, and just never really had to sell him.

Nice Rick and Morty quote Adam!

Question to the eds, is there actually a limit on the length of contract that can be offered to a player? Football manager tells me its 5 years, but I'm sure there's been examples of longer contacts signed.

Thanks.

{Ed001's Note - 5 years is the maximum, but they often include an option for an extra year which make it a 6.}
