To be fair to the lads that are never going to get close to training with such good facilities or alongside such good players I can understand why they might want to stay.
It's how everyone who made a bit of an arse of themselves calling for the heads of the best thing to happen to the club in decades sees it.
Na, not for me. There's such a thing as integrity and if you make promises then you keep them (or you don't make those promises in the first place). With the game as it is now, differentiating yourselves to gain a competitive advantage is imperative, one of the ways we've done that is the relationships we've formed with other parties and the way we've conducted ourselves. Goodwill and reputations in the game are a lot harder to build than they are ruin.
Probably not now but that will only be from this summer. He’s still going to be enjoying much better facilities and will probably never get the salary he’s on again even if it’s fairly modest in the scheme of football wages. ( assuming he’ll have had some kind of promotion clause like others have.
I think we probably had an agreement and Seelt was happy with it until he got an unexpectedly good alternative offer. Understand their frustration but in those circumstances we can’t force Seelt to take the poorer option.
There’s a fair bit of speculation there and even if it is accurate then a bit of open communication would have been important to maintain our reputation. You want to be a club that others trust and want to deal with.
We have no idea what was and wasn't agreed to We are a club with a great reputation and that's not changed at all
Exactly we’ve done right by players and clubs this last couple of years none of us have a clue what’s gone on but some seem happy to jump on the negative side without the full facts
I would book the 15 th off from work. Undoubted Northumbria’s finest and sky will make this a midday kickoff on Sunday the 14th.
We do seem to be a club of high standards and integrity to others, so it would be a bit odd if we’ve just ridden roughshod over them. Hopefully we might get an explanation from our side which will clear up the confusion..
Fair to say Matete wants to play being a premier league footballer. If he had anything about him he should have had his agent sort him a move. It’s a short career and looks like he wants a very easy life without the work to maintain his pampered lifestyle. I wonder how much a number of players benefited by being promoted in their wages. Likely the ones who are going to now sit on their contracts snd contribute nothing.
