I thought Bailey is still signed up for 2022. Seems to have played quite a bit at Newcastle so will no doubt come bank this pre season an improved and more mature player for the experience.

In all honesty I can't see it myself

Poor thing to post.
It benefits no one and only hurts the player.

Agreed, especially if he’s a mate, why embarrass a mate?

I’ve no idea tbh and I certainly don’t believe what’s posted on here most of the time. It was the principle, you can substitute Ryan’s name with any player really. Some do gob off, most don’t.

I agree.

Think we are getting a bit precious here. Even if Ryan was drunk and did say these things it's hardly Watergate. I'm not that keen on forum gossip but I'm pretty sure Ryan and the BOD's know exactly where they stand and nothing posted in here is likely to change that.

Probably wasn't worth posting by Mr K but I've seen far worse.

It hardly paints the player in a good light and it might not even be true.

Normally I'd agree but even if true he's not slagging anyone off and if true then unless he's been sworn to secrecy it's not a bad thing to say. Blokes in their twenties do get drunk and drunk people say things, you must have been there yourself? However in this case I can't see he's said anything that's a real problem, do you?

Anyways, we move on, and personally, I hope it's true, very useful player.

If it were me or you then I'd agree. People say stupid things when drunk ( well not me. I'm perfect in every way)
And it's done now so not a lot can be done.

But if he's negotiating, and the people he is negotiating with are not completely there, and read that he's been drunkenly telling his mates down the pub he's got it all sorted, it at the very least doesn't help him.
Even worse if it affects the discussion and it isn't true.

These discussions are better left at the bar, not on social media.

That's the crux, but in this case I can't see it being an issue.

As Hampshire has shown that he is second fiddle to Jowett and cannot displace either Miller or Lino, how could resigning him strengthen our squad. Signing Gaskell has pushed Hampshire further down the pecking order so it's probably time he accepted reality and found a decent gig in the Championship.

Injuries !!!!!

He will get plants of game time so it totally strengthens the squad, he is our ultimate get out of jail card.

“Plants of game time”.

Plenty
