Garscube Road End Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 If Elliott has received an offer from Livingston then he'd be mad to say no. Back in the top league? A no brainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously income could be the incentive but surely Christie would rather play for us. Caldwell needs to be persuasive here.

West of Scotland Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 Livingston are Premiership today, Premiership next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laukat Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 I wouldn't be upset to see Elliot leave and he would go with a thanks for all he's done. He's always been a useful squad player due to the number of positions he can fill in. This year he's had a full year in a position and not convinced. He really needs to decide if he wants to make a position his own at a lower level or be a squad player at SPL level. Makes sense for Livingston or any lower end of SPL team who get a player with a good attitude who can fill in a number of positions. Still can't get my hear around how we are offering him a contract that would make him the highest earner at the club? Perhaps its a low basic with high appearance fee?

jagfox Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 If Doolan, Elliott and possibly Spittal can get gigs at Premiership teams they’ll all be better off than staying at Firhill. Emotion aside leaving Firhill whilst we’re in the second tier will benefit them and their families. We need to go back to the McNamara plan of attracting young, hungry players not getting a game at a top flight club or recently released to augment the squad. One or two older heads to help out won’t go amiss either, imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambies Lost Doo Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 If someone offered you 50% or 100% wage rise to move to a new job you'd be away. I would. These footballers don't make huge money so are not in a position to say no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 Christie would be correct to go. Any sense of player loyalty meaning anything at Firhill has gone this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club made an offer to Christie which would make him the club's highest earner. As we only have 10 players under contract and Christie is probably the longest serving one it's not that extraordinary. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dl1971 Posted May 12, 2019 Report Share Posted May 12, 2019 Personally I hope he stays but if he goes he's not irresplacable. He won a lot of fans round with his gritty performances. Money will talk. Livvy have a very small fan base but they get the tv money of course so they may stay up for a few years yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making that info public seems ridiculous to me if the circumstances are different. Why would any of the others chose then to accept a lesser offer? Don’t imagine banzo, penrice, slater et al will be more motivated with this knowledge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
