Have Saints got a different salary cap to us then??

No just more creative with there spending

Did you miss the bit on McRae's & Pearson's statements that said he'd have been on one of the highest contracts at the club if he's have stayed? We obviously had cap space for him regardless of getting Ellis.

In other news Barmby has been given the bullet.



Lock it now

But Ells is a better player so why does that matter?



Seriously, these trolls get worse.

Seymour and McKinnon going before him.

On that basis Turner isn't going, or we're writing off the season

Disappointed he's decided to leave, he would have had a lesser role with he arrival of Ellis, maybe that's whats made his mind up?

I'm in no doubt that we've had his best years and I doubt his decision is solely money orientated.

I personally would take Ellis over Manu any day of the week, but I understand those that maybe wouldn't.

Thanks for your service Willie, good luck.

I've come to realise something about this, though. When we keep saying about multiple clubs 'How do they keep that squad under the cap?', maybe it's about time we realised that we've just been managing the cap incredibly badly, and we're the exception. We have comfortably the weakest squad of the clubs supposedly paying the full cap whereas there's not a lot between the rest, so we need to accept that we're just not doing business as well as them rather than being cheated.

Dissapointing, but glad it's all over now. He clearly has other motives apart from money, probably thinks he can maybe win a trophy with Saints in his twilight years. Would have liked him to show a bit of loyalty, given the deal we offered, but it's his career and his choices.



We move on! I imagine a big replacement in the pipeline.

Sums it up for me really, in retrospect 3 years was probably too long.
