Do we trust this new ownership ?

Got a hot rumour from a source inside the club, or just something you heard down the pub? Then what are you waiting for, post it on The Rumour Mill.

Do we trust this new ownership ?

Post by cyberpieman »

On 5 Live Extra between the WC challenge halves there was an interview with Nobby.

Apparently this new board hasn't even mentioned carrying on after this season.

He (Noble) wants to but there's nowt on the table yet.

What's going on ?!!

I suppose the fact that more than 2/3rds of the first team are
out of contract, is a more pressing problem for the new administration. Plus, it might be a little of "wait and see" for Nobby, just in case his wage demands have grown too!

yes

look a it this way, by now, Mo would have signed half the squad
on stupid expensive long term deals, the season is 4 weeks old, lets see
what happens, but if Leneghan doesnt see Nobby as the future, then so be
it, its his club, Hes not done bad so far!

The way i see it is name me 1 coach from Australia that is as good as Nobby.

Not only did he save us from relegation but he also took us to 2 semi finals last season. That on it own should be worth a rather hefty wage rise.

Lennagen`s general idea is to try and level out the players wages.
You two are contradicting one another!! Why start "levelling out" player's wages - then say that Noble can claim a "hefty wage rise", just for stopping the side from getting relegated. Not even won anything yet either. God help the club when a coach does win a trophy, fans will be demanding "football style" wages as a "thank you" for the manager!!! :roll:

What Nobby has done is success. NOt in terms of winning trophies, but the side is now solid. Were in a much better shape. The last time we looked solid was when Mike Gregory was in charge. But even then we were losing players due to the cap.

The new owners are also to be commended for this as the club in general seems better.

As for Bennett going to Saints hed be a very good coach for them but id go as far to say Nobby is a better coach. Its easy to coach a side that oozes class and wins trophies. But Nobby has proved not only can he win trophies but he can coach a bottom of the table side as well.

"Levelling out" of wages is ok, in theory, but only up to a point. Theb
youngsters would undoubtedly be pleased, but I'm not sure that the
likes of Barrett would.

Imagine you've got £1.5m to share out between our present first team squad:
How would you like to see the wage structure?
Bearing in mind what some of our top players could command at another club?
