With ffp swfc can't be a charity and if we want premier league football I'd have been looking to find better. Let the contracts run out and move them on. You would be hoping next season if we push for the prem they won't be getting game time and just be squad players at best.
Think we also need another good cup run. Knockout football good practise for the playoffs.
Think you are underestimating the value of continuity.
Loovens has been better this season than last season so an extended contract makes sense. In recent weeks, I have been increasingly impressed with his captaincy. He is constantly talking to team mates & giving support & advice. Also, last season he picked up yellow cards like Hutchinson. This season, hardly any.
The contracts for all message creates a greater bond & unity between the players. Not giving contracts to current first team players would be divisive. Each new contract signed encourages others to sign. Hopefully the contracts for Nuhiu & Loovens encourage Hutchinson & Hooper to sign.
Hutchinson signs until 2018.
To to be fair your attending the games so in a better position to judge. Anyway I'm sure the prem is coming. Just hopefully sooner rather than later.
