Okay, i'll take that wee swipe on the chin and its perhaps merited :clapping04:. I'm being sincere, being financially up the swanny isnt a nice place to be and I woulsnt wish it on any club and their fans. Look at Dundee for example, if they dont come up this season they look doomed.
Is it unreasonable for any player signing a contract with ICT to demand a new home into the bargain? I dont think so when the club are making it common knowledge in the press. It remains to be seen whether he signs the deal or not, it has been on the table for the best part of nearly 3 months now.
The length of time is worrying don't get me wrong. Any ICT fan who claims this is normal and honestly isn't wondering a wee bittie as to why it is taking this long is lying.
That said, Lennon took a decade to sign his new deal at Celtic - bet they wished they hadn't bothered now! :015:
I think the house thing is a key part of the deal for Black. I believe he commutes from Edinburgh (Alex could confirm as I think he has mentioned this before) so obviously doesn't want that hassle and if he does commit he wants to cut out the travelling. I don't think there is anything dodgy about revealing the house part of the deal to the press though it is somewhat unusual.
