Might be but I think the pay day and attraction is drawing/visiting a big club in R2 onwards like just AFC Wimbledon did at Chelsea this season.

My mate supports a lower league team and the chance of visiting or hosting a premier league team in a cup really gives her extra interest not to mention the chance of generating revenue that can secure the club's finances.

Agree 100% there is a small group of super rich clubs who have enormous squads who are worried about the extra fixtures due to UEFA expanding the champions league. Frankly there are 100s of clubs in the UK for who the champions league is not a thing and the cheek of the rich powerful clubs to...

Seems people are thinking Robins will weaken the team beyond what he did at home to League one Oxford! I am not sure that will be the case this season and I think Doug has his eye on a payday at Old Trafford etc and I don't blame him. As some have said go hard for 75 mins try and win the tie and...

It's called confirmation bias. People who like a player will typically see the good they do and rapidly forget the bad, the same is also true with players they despise. Godden and Eccles are two players particularly effected and seem to be overly adored and overly slated most weeks.

What does it change? The clarification simply ends the speculation about if the two parties are in active negotiations or not and stops the press constantly asking about the matter and everyone can focus on football. Sorry if you can't see the logic in that.

So when he says that it's between the club and his agent is he being honest or disingenuous? Surely he would know if he is considering the club's offer asking for 10k more or frankly stringing the fans along with ambiguous statements. I am still holding out hope they are negotiating and he...

I agree with your logic and realism but this could be the exception to the rule. If the lad is being offered 40k we might not be able to match it but 25k (citca 7.5k) after tax is not a life changing difference to a person on 25k already, especially if you have to move to a more expensive part...

Unless he was to get injured.

Could the family bit be read in two ways though? Yes he could buy them a bigger house but perhaps he realises there is more to life than money and wants to be close to his family to spend time with them while enjoying his career. If he went to Burnley etc. How much time could he make to be with...

Depends on the club offering the extension and the player in question. Some players are offered better terms to stay but move on for all sorts of reasons. I suspect last time we renewed Kelly it was on better terms than he could have realistically got anywhere else.

On the fact that my dad's mates son was an agent for Newcastle players around 2010, he was a bragging type (being polite!) and knowing I was into football took me and my dad to Newcastle. In the car he was mocking how little we paid our players and was very candid that he liked the merry go...

I do think they can get into their head and influence what suits them as well as the player.

If he is not going to sign (I think and hope he still might) we should thank him and sell him now. Promotion via the playoffs are not guaranteed and we need to work into what will be a huge season next season. I am personally not up for this saga dragging on and being a distraction for months...

If anyone reading has a direct line into the club, give the scouting department a nudge!

22 years old plays off the left and looks a real prospect. Hope there is some truth in this?

I can't see why not. Football is growing in popularity and is defiantly more inclusive than its ever been. I would estimate about 20% of fans at the CBS are female and that is great to see. Football has the ability to transcend class and culture and is a topic of conversation in many people's...
