Brilliant news about Auba! And it’s really come out of the blue too! Literally no hint that it was coming whatsoever.

Delighted he’s stayed and committed though. I’m a big believer in good coaching and collective performance being more important that individuals, but there’s no question that world class players are difference-makers when it comes to those fine margins that win games, and Auba is certainly that.

We need to pitch this as a massive show of faith in the project, and use it to convince our other targets that this is the place to be.
