In April 2014, Reed released a statement saying that MP would sign a new contract and that there "wouldn't be a fire sale".
3 months later and we had a new manager and half a new team.
I haven't. I've never been ITK before (except when I saw Adkins land at Southampton Airport prior to him being announced), but I am reasonably informed on this, from Ake's side.
He's exactly the manager LR wants, so there's no chance of him going anywhere anytime soon. I imagine he doesn't argue too much, does exactly what LR asks of him, will bring through academy players etc. He's basically the Ward-Prowse of management.
It's been a strange season. Non event really, loads of games at the start, then a 2 month break at home mid season. I'll be pleased when it's over now to be honest, we can try and get it together again during the summer.
They've been frozen at last years renewal price - £570. Works out at £30 a game. This was to make sure we didn't pay more then away fans....who ended up paying just £20 a game and will probably again next season too.
Some of the arguments here are obsolete. He was British born and previously called Adrian, and had as much right to be here as you or I (unfortunately). No amount of border control would have stopped this. It's how we stop normal people turning into radicalised nutters that is the question to be answered.
He was Sinn Feins chief negotiator in the peace process. Nobody can forget the troubles, obviously, but the relative peace we have in NI now might not have been possible without him.
