Re: ARTICLE: Is there a second new contract for Pope?

I also watched Sunday Supplement and thought Ashton and the 2 Dunn’s were way out of order re their remarks about NP and JT They were making the point of using the system properly and bringing through players from the u21s but the singling out of Pope in particular and Tarkowski was way out of order.

Bad ownership. Since Short bought the club they’ve changed manager far too often. Now he’s lost interest and the club is for sale. Until they get a buyer they will continue to struggle.

I still can’t get my head round the fact they got rid of Grayson too quickly and gave it to Coleman.
