There is more chance of me getting a contract with Cas than Gaz Ellis, I mean I haven't completely given up hope but my cruel lack of talent, ability, ahtleticism and the fact I have not had any boots on since an ill fated comeback 10 years ago at Eastmoor aside - hope springs eternal.
I think there will be clubs with bigger wads of dollars to throw around than us - fact, not board bashing - so given this is likely to be his last big contract, I think he will be cashing that in and I can't blame him. Unless he thinks either A: he has earned enough and votes with his heart. or B: He is, like Danny Orr, thinking longer term, family settled and planning for life after playing - but I would arguably say that Ellis could get another 2/3 year big money deal and then still come to us to do B.
Nice idea though - Strange how everyone is convinced that there is nothing for Ryan McGoldrick at the end of this season, there is only one person who's opinion matters at this stage and he is on compassionate leave.
it's the latter.
