I agree with some on here that say RB is a quality player who has still to fulfill his potential. However, how about this scenario? I get the feeling that RK has now lost faith and patience with Ross? If this is the case and the board convince Ross to sign and stay, I suspect RK will move him down the pecking order playing his own new signings in his position? If this was to happen and the board put pressure on for Ross to play would this ultimately undermine RK's authority with the possibility he'd would not sign an extension himself?

I wouldn't think the board would get involved with team selection. If that happens then as a club we would be in a lot of trouble.

Thanks for your reply Smt666. I agree the board should not interfere with team selection. The only reason I mentioned it was because I had heard rumours from a number of independent sources that the board were actively still trying to get RB to sign an extension. This may possibly conflict with what RK has already said about the player on national media. For what it's worth I'd like to see the lad sign the extension, get his head down and work hard to prove all the doubters wrong and that would include RK.

I would like him to sign and then prove us all wrong next season however if he has another disappointing season his stock will have fallen so low we won't even get 20 mill for him.
