….Coleman was always going to be here, we wait confirmation about his role.
I don’t think it’s sentimentality, particularly in the case of Young. It’s a period of major change, be it owners, new stadium, new organisation and new players and I think we underplay how important the influence of leaders are.
Very interesting Moyes said Coleman has ‘carried the club’ at times and ‘I need him here’. No real reflection on his recent contribution as a player, more his influence as a man.
No idea why some are upset by this news as I doubt it’ll impact the intention of bringing in a RB next season. Some managers have huge backroom contingent, Moyes might have different influencers.

A lack of any ambition to improve anything.
Bill will be looking up at us and cackling jovially, that fans are falling for the same old Club propaganda yet again.
Linked with big signings that will never happen, then renewing/signing old/average players on the cheap to fill the squad.
We tried…. But we’ll go with what we’ve got.
Young is exceedingly fit for his age and has done a decent job as cover this season. Whatever we don't spend on another utility man just stays in the pot for others, right?
This seems like a minor overreaction to one (as yet unconfirmed) bit of news, before the window has even opened.
The optimists among us might say that it's a pragmatic, if uninspiring move, to free up resources for the Big Transfer Extravaganza (TM)

I see we are still falling for Bill’s “Big Transfer Extravaganza” that never arrives…
It would be impossible to find players other than Young or Coleman to do those jobs on our budget.
That's what they want us to believe.

People making a case for keeping Young.
Can I ask, you think he’s going to get any better?
It’s such a ridiculous thing to do offering a 39 year old another contract.
You telling me our youth system is so bad and our scouts are so bad that we can’t find a player better than a 39 year old washed up ex winger to cover full back?

Agreed. It is clear the positive impact that both Seamus and Young have with the players.
Moyes does not want to lose that at a time when a lot of new faces come in.

I’m glad you agree keeping them has nothing to do with their fitness and footballing ability, but their ability to be “a good lad” in the dressing room. Perhaps they should hire a stand-up comedian instead to keep the lads positive for a fraction of the price?
Leaders don’t disappear, they are made.
because i don’t really want a situation were either of them are on the pitch next year, they were finished years ago
Presumably it’s as productive yet far cheaper to make a magic 8 ball with Seamus Coleman rallying cries inside it set on a plinth beneath a life size statue of him in a corner of the dressing room?
It wouldn’t disappear every time the FAI called up either.

Now imagine a scenario where both of them are on the pitch at the same time in each full back position with 20 year old wingers running at them.

Sadly my only surprise is that Young and Coleman’s renewals we’re not announced an hour before Sundays match to well and truly bury the news. Proper Kenwright move that.
….Young has been fine when called upon this season. It’s difficult to see Coleman playing any part from that perspective.
Gana only for me. On the playing side at least.
