Les Reed told Jack Cork he is not part of the 'Core' plans for the club going forward and that he would not be offered a new contract this year.

Very reliable source.

I doubt that it he was one of our best players last year, if that's true I'll be gutted and shocked

2.) 08 Aug 2014
I hope this isent true as cork is a fantastic player and would be a shame to let him go

3.) 08 Aug 2014
If true would be the clubs biggest mistake by far this season!!!

4.) 08 Aug 2014
If true an absolute f-up on the board's behalf. He is such an underrated player. Very effective in midfield I hope they see sense and offer him an extended contract

Obviously not true, Koeman said he'd have input so its not just Les Reeds decision.

If Spider is off any time in the next year then Corky is essential to our long term plans. Would rather let Spider go now if it meant tying him to a long contract and givin him the regular game time he craves.

Wouldn't it be RK's decision and for him to tell him, not LR?

Corky was better than Shneiderlin IMO last year, this is reflected by him getting 3rd place in players player this season, after Lallana and J Rod, also is one of my favourite players at the club and is very underated, this sale would make me more annoyed than all the others, as he doesn't want to leave and we would be choosing to sell him, MUST STAY

9.) 08 Aug 2014
Even IF that was true and he wasn't part of the plan, surely it'd make sense to offer him a contract so we could make some money on him instead of losing him on a free?

Jack Cork is a fantastic hard working player, who always gives 110% and clearly in my opinion worth a new contract, and if signed, would be highly unlikely to p*** off a year into it unlike other former players.

Fonte gets his new contract extension, Cork isn't even offered one.
That's a fact!
. and Spider isn't in the right frame of mind to play for Saints.
What a bloody mess.

12.) 08 Aug 2014
Fonte confirmed it has taken 6 months to negotiate and sign his contract - could the same not be for Cork?!

13.) 08 Aug 2014
Keep Jack Cork. He is a reliable honest diamond!Spider is such a child, I don't have the answer to his situation, except to say, a contract is a contract, and a stand has to be made against this sort of behaviour.

I smell buuuullllllssssshhhhit

15.) 08 Aug 2014
And the logic why you think this is bull is?

Hi saint dez, did les tell jack what the 'core plan ' was and why he did not fit into it?

can see it now, Les to jack 'sorry son you do not fit into the core plan even though you were one of best players last season'

not saying he will not go, because others will have him as he is a very good player but I smell what s1 can smell I am afraid and he is right it is not a 'core plan'
