Condescending enough?
Better defend myself first... Off the pitch, the club has, broadly speaking, done no wrong since Newton took over (people may have different opinions, but if they do they're probably wrong or simply not appreciating the constraints the club operates under). That I think everything JL does is correct is a ridiculous comment... I've said that on balance I think Jason is worth another year, no more and no less.
Noone denies that Bazza is an absolute legend, both on the pitch and with the fans off it... I can't stress it enough. If I considered him in the same light as Chris Hall I wouldn't be agreeing with those suggesting a testimonial would I? I just think that dealing with contracts is something where it's more professional for the club to take a blanket approach. Over the phone is less than ideal, but it's also possibly the only practical one assuming you want all players to be made aware at roughly the same time. The geographic spread of the players and Jason is a big one. The only way he could talk to them all in person would have been about 20 minutes after the full time whistle on Saturday, which doesn't seem right.
Incidentally, in this spell, Bazza has played 40-50 games for us? It was when he departed for the first time that he should have been celebrated really, but we all have an idea why that didn't happen.
