wild-saint

yeah he has a kid in liverpool i thought hence wanting to stay up north

A team needs to be clever(er) in conserving energy and thats a factor in why we went down? Ive heard it all now.

gets Tella and Tino apparently

swap Moi and Che out for better players (which shouldnt have been too hard) and we would likely have stayed up and the younger ones would have developed. Small margins and now we face losing the best of the rest.

Why will they want / need to recoup a lot of money? they even publicly said that the financial support is there to get the club back? I cant remember them ever saying we will financially support the club by selling anything that isn't nailed down which means its clear from your comments is that you are absolutely guessing and / or they were lying.

to be fair you could be living in Bali with financial security and you would be considering slitting your wrists.

We certainly aren't getting £35 million but I just wouldn't sell for £15 as there is too much upside with 1 good season in the championship. If we take £15 ill will start to get nervous that SR are looking to recover as much money as possible when it "appears" that he is happy to stay. Even if he wants to go he aint going to kick up a fuss and have a strop if we make him stay as he needs games badly.

what bollox, . its a legal dispute and will end in court, arbitration or settled at some point. you cannot restrict someone from earning a living because you disagree with another party.

so is mason

why is disputing the interpretation of a contract clause scummy, particularly when its £500k? the 2 parties don't agree and a court or arbitrator will decide. fairly standard business behaviour.

Which you cant possibly win as he hadnt actually signed a contract until (reads notes) this week? unless of course you have a unfair r / restrictive clause saying someone cant consider changing jobs ?

You must be gutted he has been replaced with some no mark from League 1 who has achieved even less?

considering we will likely have new Cbs and midfield does it really matter how it worked in the past? or are you saying 3 at the back doesnt work full stop?

look we all know if one of their players wants to join us then they will have little choice but to sell him at the going rate. its how football works.

How do you know isnt being done / hasnt been done already?

allegedly

so why havent we sold any of our players yet are they all over priced? or is it more likely that transfer moves will be later down the line ?

Tell me you dont know how business works without telling me

which is exactly why there is nothing with information to that effect but its would definitely be happening unless the SR team are complete morons

Maybe but slows down a move to a really top club as West Ham wouldnt sell within a year.

Jeez, i struggle to see how we could become any more boring.

Are you anything but underwhelmed about anything saints related?

You will be corrected

Of course not but if they tell the club who owns them that they will only be signing for saints then the pressure is on them to be realistic. Clearly you haven't been watching when saints have been raided by a bigger club. its only an issue if multiple clubs are in for them and they worried about which club they play for. Naïve to think that Saints couldnt be first choice of clubs interested in their players particularly if they are only Champ clubs.

Because that always works. We all know the player ultimately decides where they want to play.
