Surely you aren't saying that the press would make up a story to make us look bad? This story came from an interview with Matty T
So one player, one story. Now it’s a reflection on the total mis-management of the club??? It may well be badly managed and I’m not sticking up for them, just pointing out that, reading through the thread, it’s like rolling a snow ball of doom.

2018 Jack Rose Stuart Taylor Kingsley Latham Jérémy Pied Richard Bakary Florin Gardoș Aaron O'Driscoll Will Wood Ollie Cook Alfie Jones Jake Flannigan (assumed - contract was until 31-12-17 but does not appear to have been released) Armani Little Thomas O'Connor Tyreke Johnson Olufela Olomola Ending scholarship Dan N'Lundulu Ben Cull Javen Siu Oliver Gardner Harry Hamblin (but his Twitter account indicates he has been offered a pro deal) Harrison Davis Harlem Hale (but thought to have been offered a pro deal) Jonathan Afolabi --- Shamlessly stolen from SaintsWeb - quite an extensive list of those out of contract this summer.
