Nail on head OSM. Now he has the new manager's contract he will be eligible for comp and couldn't give a stuff what happens. He is in a no lose situation. Unfortunately Saints are not!
Pinnacle does have a real whiff about it though. It may be a better bet with Heidi and the cowherds. Maybe it's that ex-Spurs manager from Basle involved.
Tough call but it's no different than BA workers working for a month without pay. May be some high paid footballers can too so the regular staff and scholars can be paid.
