Will take that every day. Three years is basically a longer contract than offered to anyone in the last two years of the Roland regime - and in a time where Championship football managers average around ten months in the job, this is great. I like it.
3 years is very sensible, and quite standard. 5 year contracts, whether player of manager can be pretty risky (Naby Sarr). If you're complaining about the length after complaining for weeks that it wasn't done, Idk what else to tell you
“Now the new owners have come in and we're going to have some funds. It's all a manager wants - good people around you who want to win and go forwards."
Hopefully people can calm down now with regards to the ESI nonsense. Bowyer signs a new contract and says himself that they’re good people with money.
Technically it's a 3.5 year deal as it's running to the summer of 2023 which is 3 full seasons and the remainder of this season which is just under halfway left.
There was one rumour that although the original offer was 5 years, any comp for a sacking was based on a rolling one year contract.
I suspect that this is the compromise and that the 3 year deal doesn't include that clause.
Great news and hopefully the full coaching team is also signed up. Hopefully now a few players can start to come in. Will be interesting to see whether the rumoured returns tonight get on and how that affects the next 10/11 days.
I can only assume he has been promised a decent budget in the summer otherwise I don't think he would have signed. Great news
Same can be said for our prospects in the last week or so of the window. If he didn't truly think we'd get in reinforcements in this window, I don't think he signs
Wouldn't be surprised if it was Bowyer/his agent who negotiated down to 3 years. Who wants to potentially be on championship wages after being in the prem a couple of years, there may have been a clause that they don't need to pay him off for the full 5 years, so not like there's much more security. It would scare other clubs off trying to get him as manager, which for us would be great, but from a negotiating standpoint not great for Bow.

Excellent news.
We've got Bowyer tied down for the foreseeable future - thats the main thing!!

3 year deal is perfect.
5 year contract full of weird.
Or a 3 year normal contract.
I reckon Bowyer and his agent came out on top.
