I have yes. I already had plans during the afternoon which would keep me away from TV so it was only a case of turning my phone off for a couple of hours, although I guess that can be a challenge for some people.
They were on the "Your Fired" show after the final and it seems like the deal they have done is to carry on Tom's nail file business. Sugar steering him clear of the chair. He also said a deal with Susan could be done to include her cosmetics business as part of the same range.
All mentions from Brown, Fraser and Miller have been that his contract ended at the end of June. Where did the Aug/Sept thing come from anyway?
Not a chance in hell we're paying a player till September but allowing him not to turn up for training or matches.
His contract expired at the end of June. He is under contract to no club, however any club wishing to sign him still has to pay us 200k compensation.
He won't be back, as I'd imagine the wages offered to him have been used elsewhere now.
Might be a case of if we sign him we won't be able to afford our top target for the stirker/winger/full back positions. If we miss out on that top target(s) we might be able to put more of the budget towards Arnason, who's position isnt one of our priorities.
The keeper in the second half actually pulled off a couple of decent saves, he just had 0 protection from his team in the last 30mins once fitness took over.
Moronic behaviour but could see it coming a mile off and now we have another captain who hates the fans. We've already seen how that works. Great decision.
I didn't think either of the trialist midfielders showed that have anything more than we already have. The (Spanish, I think) central defender looked poor. The right back (Beardsley?) looked decent although that is influenced by the fact we are in desperate need of full backs.
The striker Bengondo got a good reception from the crowd when he went off but I thought he was poor throughout.
Chris Oldfield (1st half keeper) is going to Holland with the team to be the number 2 to Gonzalez but we are still exploring other choices.
Brown wouldnt be drawn on the chances of the other trialists before talking to them individually but mentioned a couple of them were worth exploring further.
