That £10,000 reduction would still be an £80,000 per year contract

well take it to £60,000/£70,000.

Why would he want to sign a contract on a reduced wage if he already has two further years to go? Only way he would sign a reduced deal would be if we offered him a long term contract, which given his injuries recently wouldn't be very clever either IMO.

I don't really understand why anyone thinks Scruton is going to throw away his current contract and sign another one on significantly less money.

I mean, why would he?

Dint realise he had a few more years :/

Depends how much game time he thinks/is told he's going to get. TBH, IMO he's just a back up player now. All 4 current first team squads are all better.

On his most recent form I'd agree but Scutes has been better in the past than his recent form suggests, and may be again once he is clear of injury and back up to match fitness. To be honest we don't know what position we are going to be in at the end of the season, neither on the financial situation or on a which players actually want to re-sign. The competition for spots does no-one any harm though, so let it continue.

I liked Scrutes as a player when he was at his best (HKR at home a couple of years ago rings a bell) but i'm not sure if he'll be able to get to that level again.

Hope he does though as he's had a horrid time with injuries.

Needs to find some form.. and quick. or ship him out. Wakey Halequins, Salford would have him

"Ship him out"???? He's got to want to leave. How do you manage to make that happen?
