Steve hoping agreeing on long-term deal is not far away

Steve Davis is confident his own contract negotiations will be resolved sooner rather than later. Davis is waiting for the club’s board to come back to him after he made some slight adjustments to his original offer and he is set for further talks with chairman John Bowler this week. Davis fully appreciates that contracts take time for both parties to be satisfied with a long-term commitment and the Alex boss hopes that talks will be drawing to a conclusion soon.

The Alex boss told crewealex.net:  “I am sure we will sit down again soon and go through the things that have been changed from the original contract. It is a commitment both ways and these things do take time, like the players’ ones.

“The club have gone away to check things over and hopefully when we sit and discuss it again, we won’t be too far away.

“I know I have the backing from John and the Crewe board, it is just about one or two things in the contract. They have been very good with me and we’ll try to finalise it as soon as possible.

“I want to take Crewe Alexandra as far as I can and I have always stated that I am very happy here.”
