I never thought he'd leave, and I still think it is pointless celebrating players committing to us, we should expect it and the club should be doing the work to make sure it happens by breeding the right culture and inclusivity. However I am happy to hear it given all the rumours, and Ollie's importance to our late 2020 season form.
However I don't like the 2026 term one bit. Just don't understand why it needed to go that long. Even 2025 is long but more than enough. I have no idea why we'd go so long. We've rolled the dice on this one, lets hope it pays off. Hopefully he is a person that really just wants to flourish without that contract talk sitting over his head.
The 2026 does seem long, but by the sound of it we have pushed some of his end of 2022 deal into the next 4 years. I guess that's the trade off, he takes less money in his initial deal for more years at the end.
