Unless it’s a way for SR to get money into Saints I don’t see why there would be a fee. Similar to the Watford/Udinese deals that used to happen
I remember my brother once saying Championship Manager was just a spreadsheet with footballs for decoration. Nowadays football is even more spreadsheet than CM Spreadsheet edition.
A good manager for him to work under.
Doesn’t stop him being a good manager. I’m not sure how many football league sides can or do play like Russell Martin. It didn’t really work when he didn’t have the players for the system / was at a weaker side. Which is where the concerns about RussBall in the premier league come from
It doesn't have to be as extreme as Russball, but it surely makes sense to send Charles out on loan to a team where they look to keep possession. A high pressing team is about as polar opposite as you can get to a possession based team. That's my concern.
Depends if the strategy is to train him to solely play in our system or to find him a loan move where we can maximise his future value while just exposing him to regular action

That's a dreadful deal for us.

'Russ-ball' is not just about passing though. He's very much into pressing the opposition high up when out of possession.
Also, Shea just needs playing time. That's the priority. Whatever system is very much secondary. He needs to improve with the basics, particularly passing.
