Talal tweeted 3 pens then deleted it apparently. So looks like 3 contract extensions with Whatmough being the first.
Looking at who's out of contract:
Amos
Jones
Darikwa
Nyambe
Caulker
Hughes (not sure)
Tilt
Bennett
McLean
Power
Smith
Cousins
Edwards
Keane
I've yet to see Smith. As I said in my post just now, tie Hughes down preferably on a longer term contract.
As for the rest, I'd keep one of the GK's as back up. It also depends what league we are in next season. If its the championship, looks like another rebuild will be on the cards. If its L1, I'd definitely offer contracts to the likes of Power, Keane, Tilt, Cousins, Caulker - If he wishes to stay. But, I would only offer the above an extended one year deal, just incase we managed to win promotion back to the championship at the first attempt.
Cruel but so very true!!Confirmed he’s signed 3 year deal at Preston. At least he’s not too far away if he wants to visit his bit on the side again.
I imagine Kelly and Keane probably recommended him if he wasn't already on PNEs radar.
Lots of things that as happened to this club recently, a club we all support seem so unfair and unjust. Dodgy owners, administration, point deductions, losing talented young players for a song, first class training facility also sold for a fraction of their value. The list goes on and on.
But now in my opinion this latest episode of punishment (players free to leave as they wish) is the knife being twisted in the most cruel of ways.
All the things we have been punished for and still being punished for, are due to bad management. Owners who had no feelings, followed by owners who had no sense. And it as to be said, "all done under the so-called scrutiny of the EFL".
All the things found guilty of since the days of admin, not one of those things was meant to give the club any advantage over others, on the contrary, more of a disadvantage. Even though i "grudgingly" accept a line has to be drawn, and some punishment given.
But to meter out more punishment for the non-payment of wages by owners now a distant memory is a kick in the guts to every Latics supporter. All outstanding wages have been settled by the new owners. Most players seem happy with the situation but not all. And to those players who have chosen to leave, because of no other reason other than greed and because you could, then i wish you no luck whatsoever with your new club.
"Yes I mean you most of all Jack Whatmough "
Cheer up we won today it's a new era up the tics feck them from the past and those players that walked awayIt's punishing the victim for the perpetrators crime. Now the c---- who nearly killed us sail off into the sunset leaving us to pay for their sins. It stinks.
Neck out .... I struggle to see Talal as a c##t ... just a dreamer who ran out of money, and couldn't admit it.It's punishing the victim for the perpetrators crime. Now the c---- who nearly killed us sail off into the sunset leaving us to pay for their sins. It stinks.
Wrexham's in the cup Taff ... they're league 2.Thought and said this could happen at season start. Confidence for the team will be high now, and the longer it goes on the better they will become. Win on Tuesday at Wrexham and then next Sat at home. We only need one more win to be on a positive 1point. Then onwards and upwards. Up the Tics
I think he knows that.Wrexham's in the cup Taff ... they're league 2.
