Whilst Bazil’s summary is of course completely accurate, it makes one very simple assumption. That being that Lewis Morgan will be quite happy to see Saints shafted in order to feather his own nest.
Whilst this approach would probably be taken by a large majority of modern day players, not all players are like that. For example, when Steven Naismith signed for Rangers, didn’t he give his entire signing on fee back to Killie to invest in their youth set up?
All the noises coming from Jack and more importantly Lewis, is that they both want to find a solution that works for both the club and the player.
Until something different happens, I’m willing to put a bit of faith in the wee man’s principles.
