Yes, it does make sense but not when your looking at young unproven players with 3-4 years left on their contract and you have a key player on the verge of leaving for a free or cut down fee. It makes no sense to renew contracts less than two years into a 5 year deal. What sort of business plan is that? And you wonder why our resource are stretched? We could have kept the wage bill lower for a few years.
