Saints Stuff

Hopefully he will go from strength to strength, haven't seen too much of him this year though.

 

Hopefully the first of several necessary renewals. Salisu being one of the main other ones

 

Tom leach has said of a good start from the new ownership to press on with contract renewels... obviously I asked about Salisu.. no reply back yet.

 

With Tella I think it’s also good to have those academy “Head Boy” figures too. Work hard and get good and you will get time, trust and investment.

 

Ah, It's Tella!

 

these two are a marriage made in Gabonese heaven

 

When was Tella's previous contract due to expire? Might just be me, but it doesn't seem like a particularly long deal. If he has a great next season, then next summer he'll have just two years remaining. Maybe I'm over thinking it.

 

Guessing he had 2 years left, so an 18 month extension.

 

The over way around. 18 months left so a 2 year extension I imagine

 

Saints are pushing for any signings made in January to be ineligible for games rearranged that were due to be played before 1st Jan. Newcastle fans now losing their **** on Twatter.

 

Surely that is going to take a 14 Club vote that won’t pass ?

It would be great if it does. I just can’t help but see it blowing up in our face somehow. Although it not working and us losing isn’t exactly blowing up in our face

 

The counter people will make to this “what about people sold” will hopefully incentivise teams to get on with rearranging fixtures before this happens

Where is this from btw ? Sky sports?

 

Ralph talked about it in the press conference

 

Praise for JWP on his free kick ability from none other than Roberto Carlos.

Rearranged games should not include new players....unless we buy someone of course. Natch.

 

I admire Ralph for sticking with this because the injustice is infuriating. But what he’s suggesting will never work. The only answer is for the premier league to be fully transparent and fully consistent over why a game is being called off. Unfortunately that won’t help us now though…

 

It will only “never work” because the premier league doesn’t want it to due to venal self interest. Which is the reason the Newcastle purchase was signed off on in the first place when it ridiculously skews the league forever more

It is applied in other countries and competitions readily enough

 

Stephens at RB on Tuesday then.

 

As big a blow that could be, it's a straight forward problem to fix, KWP in at RB (when Covid and suspension free) with Perraud at LB.
