Chaplow - signed a 2 and a half year deal - OFFICIAL

[SimplyRed&White]

Ferguson sacked by Preston as well. Chaplow was being forced out by him. One to watch

[Window Cleaner]

Ferguson sacked at Preston. Will they hold onto Chaplow until new manager appointed? Hope not.

 

Laws and Ferguson sacked on the same day then??

Anyway it depends what has been agreed doesn't it.I thought Chappers was costing Preston too much money anyway, plus their fans think he's shîte, not that they know anything about football mind you.

[Matthew Le God]

Watching Adkins interviews over the past month when asked about Chaplow, I think Saints have wrapped up the deal already so doesn't matter that Ferguson has been sacked.

and according to their chairman at their AGM, a fee has already been sorted. Don't think there is any backing out of this for either party.

 

when adkins was asked if we have any news on chaplow, he smirked and said ''lets wait till the 1st of January to see''

I'd be surprised if a deal is not already done and dusted.

[benjii]

Stewart Dennis to take over?

[Window Cleaner]

I too am sure that we would have done the necessary...just one little niggle in all that Wotton coming back.

[Window Cleaner]

that means that 3 NPC teams are currently without a manager, that can't happen all that often.

[mightysaints]

My only worry is that any new manager would want to see all the players so would they recall Chaplow

Soon be 4 when Burley is shown the door by Palace

soon there'll be so many manager vacancies in the NPC that they'll have to hire Poortvliet or Wotte.

not if they've already agreed to sell him to us and the papers are all ready for the FA.Can't see why we'd have waited really unless they've tried to bump the price or something like that.

St Leger is rumoured to have already tied up his deal with WBA so why should we be any different.

[saintscottofthenortham]

or Both.

[SuperSAINT]

Yeah, I read into it that the Chappie deal is already done. Brilliant news if true.

[VectisSaint]

Surely no-one will ever get that desparate, only a mad man would think of hiring "managers" of that standard. Thought hiring Burley was as low as anyone sane could go.

[moon monkey]

New manager or not, Preston need the money and need to cut the wage bill. He is ours, all ours

[Hopkins]

Pretty sure Chaplow said himself that part of the decision to drop him at PNE was due to pressure from the chairman because of clauses in his contract regarding appearances.

 

So as said above, I doubt the new manager will even get the chance to look at him.

[Chez]

PNE chairman told fans (at a fans forum) the price (£50k) so the deal is done in my eyes. Fingers are crossed now though. Perfect player for us and one that has been tremendous since coming back.

[SFC Forever]

Wonder what his wages will be if the Blackpool link is true.

[Thedelldays]

£50k for chappers would be a ridiculous bargin.....

 

simply have to sign him..he wants to stay and seems to really enjoy it down here too

[alpine_saint]

If we have left making a deal for him so long that yesterday's dismissal has somehow managed to de-rail negotations, then the management of SFC are incompetent and we dont deserve him.

 

I think a deal was sorted and signed back when his loan was extended.

[georgeweahscousin]

Chaplow has signed. Official.

Phew, the management are competent. Pitch forks, stand down.

[LGTL]

A fantastic signing.

much as expected then.Couldn't see the club not doing the necessary well before time.

[georgeweahscousin]

Brilliant signing, and if the 50k fee is correct a bargain.

 

Good work NA & NC!

Good deal & a steal if modest fee equals 50,000 well done NC NA

[Matthew Le God]

Interview with Chaplow about the deal now on Saints Player.

[latter day saint]

Excellent news!

nice bit of work if done for the fee mentioned by the PNE chairman.

[Saint_clark]

Slightly related to this thread - De Laet and King have been recalled by Man United after Ferguson Jnrs sacking. Pathetic from the Fergies really.

[NickG]

Manager and chairman doing well, positive times

[Colinjb]

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

 

That is all.

[ottery st mary]

Well done NC.

 

Well done our Nigel..

 

Well done Chappers, now more of the same Saints...more points pleeeeese..

 

 

PS Very well done Pards.....You were magic..

Edited 30 December, 2010 by ottery st mary
forgot Pards

[Um Bongo]

First buy of the window, good signing, let's have a few more!

[georgeweahscousin]

Interview with Chaplow about the deal now on Saints Player.

 

Good interview.

 

Sounds like he was desperate for the deal to come off, even says it was "just his luck" when Ferguson got sacked, and that they wanted to get the deal done asap.

 

Fair do's to his old man as well. 8 hour round trip for home games!

What a waste of a flaming torch. What am I supposed to do with this now? Eh?

[Colinjb]

Next on the list.

 

2 wingers.

Another striker.

A attractive female physio.

Guesssed that'd probably happen- unsurprising considering what a class A c*nt Fergie Snr is.

 

Great news about Chaplow though- an excellent addition to the squad. Providing we can hang on to Morgan, we'll have 3 very competent centre midfielders.

 

I liked the wording too- ' the Club's first signing of the January transfer window.'

[benjii]

I have an old effigy of Tomas Pekhart you can have?

[latter day saint]

What a waste of a flaming torch. What am I supposed to do with this now? Eh?

there is a rather archaic football stadium in Portsmouth, where it could be put to good use.

[itchen_dan]

What a signing!

 

Say no more.

[paris]

Happy with that ....

[Deppo]

I have an old effigy of Tomas Pekhart you can have?

 

Too late. I'm off to find Guly's hotel.

[stevegrant]

That'll do nicely, £50k is a ridiculous steal

[Thorpe-le-Saint]

£50,000?!?! Blimey, nothing like the January sales eh?

[Chez]

That'll do nicely, £50k is a ridiculous steal

I wonder if his wages are significant (one reason given for forcing him out) or we have just got lucky that he fell out of favour and we were there at the right time. Great move for us.

[Charlie Wayman]

Eff Me! Chaplow must think all his Christmasses have come on the same day if he really has landed a 2 1/2 year contract. Not even his mother wants him back home! I'll bet he's chuffed being valued at £50k even Eastleigh could afford that, where he'll likely end up on loan.

[Matthew Le God]

You get the feeling he hates Darren Ferguson from watching that interview.
