I thought that may have been part of the contract negotiation stuff?

Would be so good to get both Happe and Marvin tied down, they should be the basis we build on to get to the Champions ship.

Sounds like good man management to me

Except for the fact that we were total garbage while he was out, and Coulson was getting plenty of flak for his performances. Of course, the counter-factual is impossible to prove, but plenty of (sensible) people were scratching their heads as to why Marv wasn't in the side at that time.

We had a spell of poor performances while Ekpiteta was in the team as well, and he was struggling early on in the season. Don’t think most sensible people would dispute his potential, but I can’t see why it’s such a big deal to give a short spell out of the starting XI to someone who’s still pretty young and has no previous experience playing at this level.
