Sharp's extension

[DronnieBlade]

I've asked Southampton They love him, his goals helped propel them to the Premier League.

And he was top scorer at Florest.

Billy has a good if not brilliant goal scoring record in the Championship.

How about our other strikers ?

Any ideas folks, cos I haven't the foggiest

Judging by Sharp's comments regarding wanting to smash the pigs twice next season, I would be flabbergasted if Billy boy wasn't about next season. Trust me - he will be leading us out opening day next season and I cannot wait already!

 

[Jonboy60]

He'll be here until he hangs his boots up. Then CW will put him into the back room staff in some form or other. IMO.

Just like I predicted in post 18

 

[georgebernardshaw]

Mischief. Moi ?

But seriously, I just thought it a bit odd. Glad it's cleared up and that my concerns we may lose the top scorer in the country are unfounded. Ish !

Now, if we can just figure out a way that enables him to start doing what he does best again ......

Answers on a postcard !

Here's my answer on a postcard, it's a crap post

I think he said that Sharp also had an extension clause along with Scougall and possibly Done.

Scougall & Done you say

 

[nopigfansintown]

Sharp confirms he has a one year extension, and took a 50% pay cut to join United somewhere in this interview:

Someone did put this on this very board during Adkins tenure (technophobe inserts substitute for winking emoji). As far as I can remember Basham, Coutts, Done, Mcnulty, Scougall, Sharp and Freeman have an appearance based extension clause. Wilder's substitutes over the last six months have been very interesting.

 

[Sean Thornton]

No it doesn't, at all.

Dronnie is Billy's agent

FACT

 

[mattbianco1]

What a G'wan ?

I seem to recall Tufty stating that Coutts, Basham and Freeman would be around next season due to activation clauses.

What about the skipper ? As far as I'm aware, nowts been said.

I have to say, on the face of it, it kinda looks like he might be on his way.

So what's the story ?

If SUFC were a ship and Billy Sharp was the captain, this would be him:

He's going nowhere. He'd probably play for free

 

[west_yorks_blade]

He'll score the winner in the 89th minute in the Championship play off final against the pigs next season.

 

[Sean Thornton]

After Hanson and Clarke have pulled us back from two down to two all?

That would be an absolute dream.

I've lured you into my trap Sean. I didn't say who he'd be playing for.

But yeah - that. Dammit.

That looks remarkably like HMS Pisstheleague.

And what's Officer Dibble doing on board?

 

[Tyler Durden]

Why the fuck would anyone surmise that Billy is leaving?

A "slow news day" thread if ever I saw one.

Wowza. Some folks really got their knickers in a twist on this one.

If you, and others, care to read, in the context I provided, you will note it is in direct response to Tufty saying Freeman, Coutts and Bash are here next year but leaving out Billy's name.

I was curious as to why. Nothing more.

Just awaiting the "H" word, which I'd guess it what it may really be about.

I certainly hope that the latter two don't ...... they need to make way for quality .......

So because he didn't reel off the full retained list in an interview in April it looks like Billy Sharp is leaving? Bizarre.

 

[Lord Bos of Eckington.]

Thought this was about his penis envy

Pulse and cocktails must have joined in the promotion celebrations . Bit different to Bassetts Allsorts days .

 

[PittsburghBlade]

The classic blades way of if there's nothing to worry about make something up to worry about.

Sit back, enjoy the ride with this chairman, manager and captain all have our best interests in their own hearts too, don't forget that.

Dronnie Blade - takes it back a few years for anyone who used to post of Blades-mad.

Are you on an E!?

Kind of feels like 2011, if only you could tag some old BM posters.

It's coming along nicely

There's something not quite right with that stonework. I don't know if it needs to weather in or if it should have been pointed differently or what. Can't quite put my finger on it.

Could it be that all that quality 'real' stone just serves to make it look like Jack and Vera's?

Is it fake stone? I've just noticed there are no lintels over the windows either, or stone jambs and cills. That's partly why it looks odd but there is a certain 'unnatural' quality about the stone.
