Well, I have something rather more substantive, so I make no apologies for posting it. It's from the North Mcr. Express.
Quote from KK "I've told the likes of Neumeier, Jablonski and Morin I'd like them back next season, but it's going to have to wait until after this season is over. They have all accepted it apart from Jimmy, he's the only one struggling with it. I'd like to think he'll be back next year, bit at the moment I don't know".
Reaction from Morin: "Talk of next year gets us a little off track. If you get offered a contract before the season's over it's a huge bonus and shows great faith on Kurt's part. If you don't, you've just got to continue working hard to the end of the season when you should get the fruits of your labour the form of a new deal. We all want to come back, this is our job, our career, and Manchester is one of the best places in Europe, you can't ask for anything better. But being asked about your future is only an added distraction. It worries me and affects me but I just have to put it to the back of my mind and get on with playing. We're all coming together as a team now and second would be a great improvement on last year and something to be proud of, then we can go all out for the playoffs."
