Jack Stephens did not sign his contract extension recently. It was in September 2020, a lot can change in nearly 2 years.

Would you walk away from millions of pounds in wages/payout?

It is an u21s team this season.

It says they were open to it earlier in the summer, but it is unknown if that remains the case now. Things can change.

Staplewood is still using sprinklers.

The Daily Mail article is not factually accurate. An example... "The response was to change the entirety of his coaching staff" Entire 1st team coaching department was not changed! Richard Kitzbichler & Andrew Sparkes are both 1st team coaches & did not leave. They can't even get the basics right. So why trust them to be right on the rest?

I think Lavia, Bazunu and Aribo will all immediately improve the starting XI compared to last season.

That isn't relevant to the post I was responding to.

My point applies to both.

"No smoke without fire is a ridiculous phrase and is deeply flawed to use. Would you be happy with someone using it about you if you were wrongfully accused of something? Media can = a smoke machine and smoke machines do not have any fire 🔥

That isn't the club's fault. So harsh to label them a shambles due to conflicting media reports.

How have you worked that out?

2005 to 2012 is 7 years Did you have a memory wipe for the 2008/09 season? Probably a good idea!

Do you think Lavia competed immediately?

Double negative! So you think he is going somewhere!?

Why do you think that when Hasenhüttl played a lot of 1st choice players the last time we played them?
