Might be good PR after the international break and keep the "feel good" factor around the club. I'd say they were possibly waiting until a "bad news day". As in Sid leaving. That's not a cynical opinion as such, I've no problem with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that is a little bit unfair, if I may be so bold. Its a gamble, but he has " work in progress" on his side. The other incumbent has had plenty of time to prove his worth, kiss his badge or any other thing that aligns him to being one of us.....except score goals or fight for the cause. They were at totally different stages of their career to make any comparison. ....but if either of them wanted to stake a claim in this highly lucrative industry, I suggest they watch some footage of Andy Gray, Brian Little , Tony Morley or Gary Shaw.....Peter Withe may be of value too.....It may project a career for one and resurrect a career for another.

He's on £18k a week for one. Secondly, did Gabby earn a 4 year deal do you think? I can remember very few people thinking so. Thirdly, if at 22 he decides he's had enough of football and he wants to sit on his arse and waste his career whilst collecting a fat paycheck (to match the size of his arse) at our expense, then you can have your internet points. I'll deliver them myself. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your probably right mate, I suppose there is no necessity on the clubs part to announce a contract as soon as it is agreed, its up to them when to reveal. I also saw an extension for Mark Bunn, maybe they are just keeping that one to themselves considering there is 0% positive PR attached to it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so that is the worst decision by the new management so far! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know a close family friend of JG's that has known him most his life. He told me that when he signed that previous deal he was put on £35k per week. If true, and I have no reasons to doubt that info, JG must have had a seriously good (for the club) relegation clause included in that deal.

bobzy Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 I thought he was decent today. Some nice link up play throughout and always looking to get the ball forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Wasn't very good today, not enough quality, not enough end product. With players like this things aren't always going to come off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Played reasonably well, and is actually looking to lead the team more, pointing to players to make runs etc. But come on Jack put your laces through at times, a couple of times second half should have got a shot off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Few moments of decent play but overall was quite poor. Too predictable coming inside every time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
