Was the talk at the AGM not that Jens was on a rolling 1 year deal. On Olly Whyte you'd expect he'd be offered a new deal with a view of getting him involved next season. I think also as we have a co-op agreement with Stenhousemuir should the last few games end up with little meaning he'll probably play some minutes.

For what it's worth, in his interview in The Herald recently, Whyte said he wanted to continue develop his career with us. (Of course, he would say that).

It was described as an "Open Contract" the terms of which are not known, but some with knowledge of these things described as a normal employment contract with a notice period on either side.

Basically we wont be getting big compo for him. If a club comes in that he fancies he will be allowed to talk to them......

Im pretty fine with that. We had no way of knowing at the start whether he was gonna be a success or not and he has made us plenty money already on increased gate money and prize money. Not to mention the other sellable assets we now have in the squad.

Which is all true but we could give him a deserved hefty uplift in wages. Means compo increases & you never know may help increase his loyalty.

Of course, that may have already happened & we just dont know.

Im all for that.

I trust the board will be doing everything they can to keep him.

If ever there was a Motherwell manager that could ask for whatever they want, Jens is probably about as close as it gets.

If we sell Maswanhise we dont really need to sell anyone else in the close season. (Caveat being we would need to source a replacement to support Eythor).

If we could guarantee the rest of his team was kept together for a proper tilt at Europe, then maybe, just maybe......
