No idea. As I told you an ex saints player who I sit with sometimes at games told me that he has been offered a few jobs next year including with five live but was holding off in case a takeover of the club happened. He had been approached by someone representing a consortium who was looking to do just that and had offered him a role in the scouting setup.
I don't know about anyone else, but IMO we need to get a defender in. It's really going to harm our start if we get no one else in sooner rather than later and give them time to get a partnership together.
But as has already been said on this thread, we are a newly promoted side who needs to strengthen unlike a team like Newcastle whose main objective is to keep their existing side together.
Could easily be explained by cortese not actually having control over the club and continuing with business as usual. As I said though this is most likely not true.
