I guess the thing I'll be happy with if it's Cornthwaite is it means Stubbins has at least a little bit of familiarity in the club to kick things off. Surrounding himself with people he knows will only allow him to settle in easier.
It would also be a good sign that players he has been involved with respect him and want to play for him.Quote:

This post may or may not be complete bullshit.
Rio Ferdinand??
cornthwaite is better than mitchell and reegz but no better than Topor who is also off contract
I reckon Topor would come at a higher price though.Quote:

So Zad didn't want to leave.....The club made it clear to him he wasn't part of the future...as per Zad on NBN
while I admire zads spirit and passion I agree with stubbins in that if you want to play possession football you don't need midfielders like zadkovich with poor passing and vision. Freeing up zads wage would also of played a part but total respect to stubbins for making a tough decision that I believe will lead to a more balanced squad
Yeah was just saying.....I won't miss himQuote:

Diego Milito?
Anyone else notice the part about future "marquees" coming in under the cap?

Whether that self-imposed-budget is x% of the salary cap AND $xxxxxxx on a marquee player, or just x% of the salary cap - only they know.
Two-three years ago Robbie Middleby promised the people of Newcastle that money was set aside for both an international AND Australian marquee player. We got our international marquee, but never saw our Australian one. I want to know where those set aside funds went to.
The Culina's termination payment?Quote:

Neville--Jaliens--Cornthwaite/Beauchamp--Goodwin

Doesn't look the worst to me.
Calling him Sam because he will be South American, obviously.Quote:
