The Joe Shields appointment really feels like a statement of intent from Sports REPUBLIC. He’s got such a fantastic reputation when it comes to spotting young talent and he’s going to be heading up our whole recruitment. Matt Crocker coordinated the FA youth development pathways, he’s the academy head that helped us get some amazing players through and he’s our DoF. We really look like having best in class people in the right roles. We will need to be patient, but quietly and quickly the club are making really good moves.
Hahaha! Mike Ashley is actually the secret shadow broker behind all this intelligent, long term planning!
I said it would be Tessem. If he starts saying what Saints don't want to do now is I will find him and kick him in the plums.
Aribo has a 'big' number on his back. He'll either become a club legend and then ruin it all on twitter or become a club legend that tries hard but doesn't score as much as he should do lol.
