Gets a 2 year New Contract and Surplus to requirements

Sun Jul 27, 2025 2:45 pm

BBM has decided Kion Etete is surplus requirements abd us now looking for a club, despite the Cardiff Hierarchy giving Etete a Brand New 2 year Contract.

Every fan could not understand the Hierarchy’s Decision???

This is what happens when we don't let the manager sign players they actually want in squad. Rather than board signing players they think.
At least this time BBM seems to be more in control of who he wants /gets

Also shows the tide is changing. The manager has now gone against the board with new singings, etete and possibly other things we've not known about.
Refreshing? Or maybe a sign of change of ownership?

This is exactly why things are better now.

BBM decides who we sign and I'd rather wait so he gets the right players than rush in and sign the wrong ones.

He's doing things the right way and not making the mistakes we've made in the past.

A few injuries and suspensions and Etete could be the striker we're relying on for promotion this season.

Have to get somebody to take him off our hands first and that won't be easy. Would also need to replace him - with the quality BBM insists we will be looking for won't be easy either.

I imagine it'll be a loan to L2, where he'd still struggle.

Clearly been told he's not wanted because he's not injured and not even had a look in during pre-season.

Maybe Newport might be interested! :laughing6:

They'd probably want us to pay all his wages and pay them a "reverse" loan fee to take him.

I know a few Cobblers supporters that would love him to return there.
