Saint Garrett Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 @SouthamptonFC: Southampton are delighted to announce that Club Captain Kelvin Davis has extended his contract until 2016. #saintsfc http://t.co/hp9z53JSIf Odd.
110_Persaint Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 Good news IMO. Solid backup and a loyal stalwart for years. Just desserts.
Patrick Bateman Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 Why's it odd? He's obviously a positive role model and is the club captain for good reason! I think it's a good thing!

Odd ? . not really. He won't get too many games perhaps, but he's great to have around and a good role-model for younger players in the club. Possible future goal-keeping coach.
eurosaint Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 It looks to me like another advert for those watches ! I would assume that he will become a goalkeeping coach and be emergency back up but not necessarily considered for the first team ?
daveygwyatt Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 Think thats the club thanking him for his loyalty in the past. Lets him finish his career and move into coaching here. Very unlikely to get much game time if we stay up.
Elias Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 I would think he's going to end up in the coaching set-up. Very much a club stalwart and a loyal servant.
sandwichsaint Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 Don't let Dalek see this, yo-yo strategy and all that.

Dig Dig Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 Can I be the first to say that he deserves this as the club stalwart that he is.
110_Persaint Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 Can I be the first to say that he deserves this as the club stalwart that he is. err first reply to this thread??
Dig Dig Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 err first reply to this thread?? Sorry mate, I have you on ignore.
Saint-Armstrong Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 Whose house is that? That's Cortese's office isn't it? (boardroom, whatever you want to call it) Cortese did an interview in it following League One promotion then walked across the pitch.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 I don't know why but I've suddenly got the urge to buy a watch. Has Derren Brown also been given a role at the club? I am sensing subliminal messages.
110_Persaint Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 Sorry mate, I have you on ignore. oh dear. Do you know of anyone else?

Saint Charlie Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 oh dear. Do you know of anyone else? Stop trevoring yourself mate.
S-Clarke Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 Nothing odd about this. Need to keep him at the club for as long as possible and let him grow into the coaching setup, where he is clearly going to end up.
110_Persaint Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 Stop trevoring yourself mate. It's called taking the p*ss mate, you should be an expert by now.
Saint Charlie Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 Clearly Cortese is willing to reward loyalty and achievement.
davefizzy14 Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 Well rewarded for a Club Stalwart - just seen the link on the OS - excellent read
Micky Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 Absolutely delighted for him. Who knows, he might even get more game time if we get relegated. Either way, very pleased for the lad.
Faz Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 Clearly Cortese is willing to reward loyalty and achievement. Whaaaat???? Nasty Nic, the child eating, rent dodging. power crazed dwarf?
Dig Dig Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 Clearly Cortese is willing to reward loyalty and achievement. It's been said quite often that Cortese is very good to the players
110_Persaint Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 It's been said quite often that Cortese is very good to the players When you think the players loved and cherished Nigel, that's not really the case then is it?
Appy Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 I hope they aren't dicking around with Rickie's contract if they are giving them out to players who shouldn't be anywhere near the team.
Saint Garrett Posted 7 March, 2013 Author Posted 7 March, 2013 The reason why I thought it was odd is that he's already 36 and he already had a contract until end of next season. Thought he'd go into coaching ad the end of next season to be honest.
Nigel=God-Poyet=Sod Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 At 36, I'm surprised he doesn't want to play regular first team football but it's no doubt positive news for us. Been very loyal to us and was pivotal in our successive promotion seasons. That Leeds game at Elland Road last year in the Championship is reason enough to give him an extension.
Dig Dig Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 When you think the players loved and cherished Nigel, that's not really the case then is it? Where did you hear this? I'm sure like with any club, opinion of the manager is divided to some extent
Saint_clark Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 That would take him up to 10 years at the club and receiving a testimonial.
110_Persaint Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 Where did you hear this? I'm sure like with any club, opinion of the manager is divided to some extent In every post-match interview in our horrendous start to the season, some player would say that the whole team are backing him and really want him to stay. Even when many fans, including nearly this entire forum, were calling for his head (Leeds, WBA).
SuperMikey Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 That would take him up to 10 years at the club and receiving a testimonial. And who will that testimonial be sponsored by? Eterna. IT'S ALL PROPAGANDA!
Crab Lungs Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 That would take him up to 10 years at the club and receiving a testimonial. Exactly what I was thinking.
Saint_clark Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 Exactly what I was thinking. It seemed odd that either he or the club would commit for so long at his age, but makes sense actually. He'll almost certainly retire after this contract is finished with.
Dig Dig Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 In every post-match interview in our horrendous start to the season, some player would say that the whole team are backing him and really want him to stay. Even when many fans, including nearly this entire forum, were calling for his head (Leeds, WBA). But same players are now saying very nice stuff about Pochettino and the impact he's had. Ultimately, players are happy when they are playing and or getting paid well. What's consistent no matter who our manager has been is that players always refer to the chairman in a positive manner and his actions have supported this when is comes to the playing staff.
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 In every post-match interview in our horrendous start to the season, some player would say that the whole team are backing him and really want him to stay. Even when many fans, including nearly this entire forum, were calling for his head (Leeds, WBA). There were people calling for NA's head, but 'nearly this entire forum' is certainly overstating it.
Dig Dig Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 There were people calling for NA's head, but 'nearly this entire forum' is certainly overstating it. Very true. The Leeds Capital One Cup match thread makes for hilarious reading considering we were playing our reserves.
Andre Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 Good news, he's a legend, but fairly strange decision for him if he's looking for regular football. Could be getting regular time in the NPC, and Gazza is only going to increase in popularity for the pecking order. Oh well, love him.
ThreeSixty Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 Happy for him. Top bloke when i've had the chance of a brief chat with him. Slightly odd as i can't see him playing much, maybe a player/coach deal.

buctootim Posted 7 March, 2013 Posted 7 March, 2013 It is a bit odd. Another year maybe but another three years? He'll be 39 by then.
