I’m reasonably optimistic as it happens and have said nothing to the contrary, you seem to be creating your own narrative.
The OP stated we should tie Hall down, that’s what we are discussing, I’d flippin love that! I was pointing out that it isn’t as simple as just money and if you know the game as well as you seem to suggest you know that.
Again the OP stated the Hall podcast in which the lad comes across as both bright and ambitious. These types hold their nerve and wait and with a year to go?? on his contract Hall can wait as if he continues progressing he will become a hot property. These are not my theories it’s how it works!
I also pointed out in another post which clearly you didn’t read that JM stated we had five signings to come or a hands worth as he put it, 3 of those are quota so I’m very positive some real quality will be added.
If we recruit well and Mash proves a good coach and we finish in a play off position - then pinning Hall down becomes far easier. Another relegation scramble, it gets tricky especially if he himself remains in form.
I’m trying not to be condescending here but it’s obvious. Good players tie themselves to good teams. When TJ signed his last deal we were looking good, this time round, well you know what happened.
I’ve made no attempt to predict next season and with so many players to be added I wouldn’t even attempt to. My rule is that I give it at least five games in before making any kind of judgement.
Every new season is a blank canvas but some things are constant.

Can’t disagree with that however you say finishing in a play off place will make it easier to tie down Hall etc. the issue with that is mid season clubs are able to talk to him so it will be too little too late unless we are riding high early-mid season.
I totally get your being realistic though and what is the solution I do not know. I guess more money may solve it but that’s a vicious cycle. I hope we see him and Murphy sign and they buy into the club building to challenge in up coming years.
I really hope we start the season off like a house on fire in 2023. It will help massively. As you say it’s too hard to predict until all the players are in place and signed.
