It's most likely revised financial terms/wages or whatever. Given that he signed a contract last year that would've ran to 2023 making him sign another 6 year deal to maximise his transfer fee doesn't make that much sense. But nothing does under Ashley.

I would imagine it’s an almost identical contract with an increased relegation clause fee.  Lascelles probably gets another 20k a week for signing it in the meantime.

Interesting. It’s either a gesture to boost moral with the squad or.. he knows something we don’t.

 

Or there’s the possibility he has no ambition and has just settled for being squad captain here, has no interest in winning titles and just wants to pick up a decent wage until he’s well into his 30’s. (which in itself is a smart move if financial security and family stability is important)

It's sad, because in a perfect world, or at least in a decent one under a reasonably ambitious owner this would be absolutely amazing news in so many ways.

Would of been a massive first step in the right direction, yeah should of been... It's just meh, whatever now, unfortunately

Firmly believe this has come from the agent to make sure Lascelles is protected and can move on once we're relegated (this season or next, it's happening soon). Also could be spun by Ashley and Bishop to be a positive move but he's going no-one. They're quite happy to ensure a biggish fee when we drop to pay for the promotion push, the cycle is just continuing.

Hardly going to come out and say "Mike is a douchbag"

 

Come on. He's quite clearly being instructed. We're getting into Pards' "that was for Mike" territory here.

 

Speak out against protests, sure, we get that; Rafa himself has been saying 'the team needs the fans' for the last two-and-a-half years.

 

'Mike Ashley is a nice guy,' though? He might as well just be sticking his fingers up to the fans himself. He can get fucked tbh.
