i thought at the time it was simply a player making a suggestion, i also think if there was 'anything in it' then T.M. would not need to bring it up as he does like to play the old father figure type manager and imho, any manager that does not listen to his players needs to get out of the job.
Where is this Pritchard and TM fall out stemming from? Ignoring the bit about people saying they have seen it mentioned online, others have mentioned what TM said. Is this referring to when he mentioned Pritch likes to give advice or whatever he said?
Rigg is going to Newcastle, nailed on. My only ever cast iron info I have ever got or am likely to get. We have another kid called Mason Cotcher who is one to look out for, he is a mag but is well settled at the academy and well grounded, his dad keeps his feet firmly on the ground.
We should get a good fee for him, there were rumours of 5million which is decent for a 15 yr old. Crotcher is class, great movement and a good finisher
His family are not that well off and the money and package offered is simply too good for them to turn down. Only a matter of time unfortunately. Ridiculous considering the lad is only 15. It will happen
Thought he was leaving in January as his Mrs wanted to go back to London (read it on here). Over the moon for Rigg, hope he gets on the pitch and best of luck to him in his career.
Well we're such a jolly lot on here at the moment, currently worrying about LND leaving and now a kid who hardly anyone has seen kick a football. Shouldn't you all be worrying more about the energy prices
I am far from worried about young Rigg leaving, I think we would be mad not to take the money being offered for a schoolkid. It does make you wonder though that we let some far better youngsters go during the Donald era for buttons......At least we are more savvy now
Shocking what short did to our club by stopping the investment as his son lost interest in football to move into tennis in California. Then compounded that by selling out to a couple of chancers who decimated our youngsters. Sure I read on here Michut is Evans long-term replacement?
My nephew is good friends with Chris Riggs dad and it was only a few weeks ago he told him Chris was staying at Sunderland after KLD made assurances to family regarding his path to 1st team football and his professional contract. As we know things can change but at the moment that was last news I heard
There's somebody I'm exchanging messages with on twitter (I know I know) who says he's mates with Chris Rigg's dad and they're definitely going to Newcastle next summer. So...
