and as revealed on the other thread.Summers: “Like most things in life when you have a problem it’s called communication.”
Watters’ contract extension has been talking point, but Summers can’t understand why.
“I found the whole thing around Scott’s extension the wrong way round, it’s been seen as an uncertainty (his future), but it’s got nothing to do with it,” he said.
“I can’t see how you can put a contract extension to somebody, whether it be one year, two years, five years, how would you put that to them until they see where you are taking the list management. How could you put that to them until they see the whole structure you’re trying to achieve at the club over that period?
“I can’t see how you can do it ... Because you’d be buying into it for your own reasons and not club reasons.”
This season, the Saints finished 16th with a 5-17 win-loss record.
Summers said it was “one of those years you had to go through to get a better consensus on where you’re heading”.
“As a club, we are very anxious and anxious people tend to act in a negative way, anxious people want to hide, get scared, they go to ground, and what I’m trying to do through this vision statement is to empower and encourage people to lift themselves out of that,’’ Summers said.
“The worst thing in life is not to have a go.”
