‘ Sol Bamba Contract ‘

Tue May 25, 2021 2:44 pm

Apparently Nigel Pearson at Bristol City made contact and offered Sol a one year deal but Sol’s preference is to stay here.

Hopefully the club do the right thing and sort the renewal for a year and secure him in the clubs coaching setup.

Was Nigel Pearson Leicester City manager when Sol played for them?

Come on cardiff, we have wasted plenty on players who couldn't give two f@cks for cardiff city, sol loves it here, is loved by the fans, and what an inspirational character to have around the younsters?? I wouldnt be dissapointed if the club offers him another year, and this to me is more than sentimental, I truly believe he is an asset we should keep around.

Same very surprised but may be happy to give him a year's deal just to get him into the setup there.

I don't think Sol has any desire to move his family from the area though.

Would he have to move though? Bristol is closer than swansea, so easy commute, id be gutted if someone else takes him, and he got in their set up, not ours!

I reckon he will definitely stay with us but it should have been sorted by now. It just goes to show the interest he has had regardless of his age and illness.

Sol is a top bloke :bluebird:

Sol does want to stay here 100% and is still hoping City will give him a 1 year contract and followed by coaching :bluebird:

Tbh as a player he's too old but if the club have desire to have him here coaching, then they should offer him a long term coaching contract

Sounds like sol wants to be playing next season. I dont think that's going to happen here. Would love to see him back on the pitch, even if its not for us. If he does go elsewhere, hopefully we see him back in a year or 2 as a coach.

Sol needs a player coach role and development to become a manager. I would live him to succeed and I think he will.

Personally absolute joke. The money he’s on and wants for a new contract hope MM puts a finish to this farce.

Lots of media coverage for him I wonder why!

Lots of media coverage,probably as he's just got over cancer? How do people know the details of what he wants?
I still think he is an asset to the club, and perhaps a player/coach role would be good, for him and the club.
He came here with a poor rep, worked his socks off, and the man loves the city, both club and area, his fight back from serious illness, whilst still staying fit, would be a real inspiration to the younger players, imho rubbing off his ways onto the next generation of players here would be a good thing, showing that if you work hard enough, you can achieve anything. Just like to add, I don't believe ANY player should be looking at improved, or even the same terms as before, especially those out of contract, and coming back from injuries.all opinions of course :thumbup: :old: :bluebird:
