SallyCinnamon Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I’m glad Bannan has signed. Rather we pulled out all the stops to keep Shaw instead. Shaw is the future. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeonLeon Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Just now, Asio otus said: Its not bizarre its great decision. We’ve been in the bottom 3 99% of the season and he’s vocal every year about playing in the PL again. From his side it’s bizarre extending your contract at a side that’s odds on for relegation to the 3rd tier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkstar Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 1 minute ago, swfcGibbo said: He's 31, just had a baby and the captain of the side. I kinda get why he's staying irrespective of the league we are in. Perhaps if we do get relegated he'll want to bring us back up or perhaps there's a clause which allows him to leave if we do get relegated. Either way I am happy he's signed and hopefully we can push on and claw ourselves out of the relegation places. This is key. He's got a pretty good gig here, he's settled and is pretty much guaranteed to play every week. He's already experienced being on the periphery of a couple of Premier League squads earlier in his career so in that respect this makes perfect sense for him. And it's good for the club if the captain commits as an example to the other players. Good news all round. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post @owlstalk Posted February 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 18, 2021 This isn't going to go down well with those who've told us for the last few seasons that we need to get rid of him to improve There will be a few livid folk today that's for sure when they see our best player has signed to stay 6 4 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I suppose he’s settled here. Apparently just bought a house in Dore. That counts for a lot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 He’s recently moved to Sheffield after being down in Birmingham most of the time. Into Fletcher’s old house as it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rather we had Shaw tied down than someone coming to the end of his career. Shocking priorities. My thoughts exactly.... would prefer both tbh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S26 Owl Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Great news and a reasonable size contract to suit both parties. Glad its not a 4 year etc and weve learnt our lesson from previous players. However this is also completely dispells the rumours about Shaw and the fact we didn't give him a competive offer as if we've got enough to sign Bannan/Hutch, we've got enough to sign Shaw 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think this announcement has been rushed out to chill everyone out and change the narrative? Not sure you understand how PR works 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
