Numerous reasons. Not only for his own professional happiness but also marketing, advertising for the club, attracting players to play alongside him...ensuring Pickford isnt lonely and his value.
Pickford is close with Maguire. Would play out like an Amazon Documentary that...
 

Unbelievable news for our defence this season and probably our finances over the coming years. Slightly bizarre decision from the lad given the state of the club, but fair play, his salary will have gone through the roof now for as long as he is here, and he is guaranteed game time. Too early to go to United/City etc. Earn your stripes for a few years in the trenches. Plenty of time to earn a medal sitting on a bench.
 

Its gives us an extra year extension if im reading right, he had a contract to 2005, we had an option to extend until 2026 and hes now signed until 2027.

Fair play to the club though for recogniseing and rewarding his development and growing role and gives us a bit of security, he deserves a bump in pay compared to others who will be on more.
 
Said it before but if we were anywhere close to administration we would not be giving out new contracts...
He's a very valuable asset so we need to sign him long term, regardless of our financial position. I don't expect us to keep the player long term, but we will receive an excellent fee for a player we bought for about a million quid.
 

If he doesn’t thank The Chairman in the interview is the contract even valid?

Under contract for effectively the next 3.5 years. It means we will still be in a position to demand a high fee in the summer of 2025.

Seems like good business for the club, and good reward for the player after earning a place in the 11
Looking at the price Leicester got for fofana has to be the benchmark if he keeps improving but hopefully get a couple of years more from him ,and maybe in two years we might be in a better position ourselves
 
Wish we could find more players like him low cost but his attitude is first class. Is a risk but is about trying to build players up right loan moves then try fit in first team or sell
