Default Re: Manny & Pearson

But if we went up to L2 would they be good enough ?
Always a dilemma for a manager of a club in pursuit of promotion - if you tie enough players up on long term contracts your stuck with the same personnel at a higher level.
Also the potential to rock the boat and cause discontent in the camp with some getting extensions and others not.
Perhaps a balancing act by Ricketts - Tranmere having gone up have still retained Steve Mcnulty who is still a regular starter for them - with many people writing him off.
Pearson & Smith as a long term double act would be difficult to replace and are young enough to still have some good years in them - I think Ricketts is no fool but in reality he's only just landed here - he will probably want to see how his newly acquired players perform over a number of games - the extensions may well follow but at the current time there doesn't appear to be any need for an urgent decision.
