As much as I rate the bloke, been a good servant of the club etc etc, we cannot keep handing out massive lucrative contracts to players that are approaching the end of their careers. Would Jimmy accept a short term deal?
I'd imagine Morrison is on easily £40k+ a week and gave his "come and get me" plea to other clubs to cover his own interests which I completely understand. I also understand the club saying "you want a new contract, continue to earn one and we'll take it from there". The same goes for Sess, Olsson etc.
But the alternative is continually paying massive transfer fees to replace players who are leaving. Whatever you do you are spending a fortune.
I know this from my many hours of playing Football Manager.
