I hear folk worrying about keeping players who shine. Particularly when they do it on TV.
There was a time, not long ago, when we would not be able to refuse a reasonable offer.
I think we are over that now and I am confident our owners are more interested in building a winning squad than making a buck at this point.

Every player has a price. Just hope if we do sell some players on we get a good fee. Will help enormously if we are in the SPL though.
Mullen is free to sign a pre contract now and that is concerning as there must be clubs sniffing around him.
I am wondering if Lennon giving him the arm band ( Gilmour was the obvious choice ) on Sat was maybe a ploy to try and convince him his short term future at least is at EEP.
What an opportunity we missed in 2014.

I thought the same about JCM and making him captain. We have a very strong back three and that`s without Bene. Hopefully we can convince him that another year at EEP will benefit him.

Nothing coming out of the club regarding Mullen at all but it’s blindingly obvious he would have offers on the table from us and elsewhere.
We all know he’s going onto better things at some point but I’d be happy if he could at least stay on for another season or two and we get a decent payday for him.

I read it a wee bit differently, I think that was Lennon saying, we all know you`re going to go far in football, I`m making you the captain today, I`m putting you in the spotlight, now go out and show everyone how good you are

At 21 I’m not convinced he would walk straight into a higher league team North or South of the border. For his own career to flourish he might be better off staying with us for another year (at least). I guess we’ll soon see if a pre-contract elsewhere beckons.

We will be lucky to see Mullen at EEP next
season, unless we win a play off spot and make to
the Premiership.

This and when I was involved in Pro Youth, it was may advice to all the players who ended up playing First Team football. Young lads jump far too soon at times and the hit rate is pretty low in comparison. If you’re playing First Team football and are doing well, stick around and keep getting the experiences and develop.
Lennon Miller had the right idea at Motherwell, so did Lewis Ferguson IMHO, your Billy Gilmour and Ben Gannon-Doak stories are few and far between.
