The sarcastic response to the questions about Watt and Hendry made me wince a bit. I know it's a stupid question given he answered the same question last week but journalists need to do their job.

Too much of it and there will be journalists who will be itching to put thr boot in should we hit a slump...

The journos love him for the big tease that he is.

I thought it was very clever of Askou. Not only did his comments reassure us fans, they also sent a clear message to the Club Board. Promises made should be promises kept and the time to consider a sale is at season end.

I’ve a feeling that there’s some sort of agreement or understanding between the club, the manager and the players to see out the season.
I feel that there’s players are totally onboard with JBA and are willing to wait and see how we finish the season and some may also agree to stay on if he’s stays and that the club will back their decisions.
For the club it’s a win win situation as everyone’s stock will only increase (injuries avoided) and Europe could be a money spinning miracle should the core of the team remain and additions are made.

From what we've heard from the Chairman, CEO, and JBA himself, they all have a good working relationship and are in constant contact, so I dont think he needs to send messages to his own board through the media.

I took what he said as making it public that the club is aligned, which means it would take a ridiculous bid for a player to change anything.  We will have our price, like anyone else, but there's definitely a premium in January.
