Free Nathan Tella!

Post by CaymanClaret » Wed Jul 19, 2023 10:24 pm

Free Nathan Tella
17 goals for Burn-er-ly
Southampton should set him free
We'll pay them a handsome fee
Are you so blind that you cannot see?
Free Nathan Tella, I'm begging you
Free Nathan Tella

To the tune of Free Nelson Mandela, The Specials.

More of a campaign song than something for the terraces. Just saw a pic of him not smiling in his Soton shirt and was trying to think if I ever saw him not smiling last season.

Surely hasn’t done that without permission from AP?

Somebody with close connections with the club wouldn’t have done that without the go ahead

Think it's quite good that video personally. All about engaging fans and other social media accounts.

Hopefully it means we definitely are welcoming back Nathan Tella (baby)!

Didn’t GetIntoEm claim Tella was having a medical last week, only for him to play in both of Southampton’s next 2 fixtures.

As for the whole Free Tella thing, it’s embarrassing and cringey.

I find this a little distasteful to be honest. He’s not being held against his will at Southampton. He signed a contract with them.

I don’t find it funny or light hearted at all.

He played 86 minutes yesterday, I'd be very surpised if he's had a medical and signed.

I like the video, but it is odd. - Maybe a public note to Tella to let him know we are still trying?

I normally love this kind of thing but, if he’s not signed it’s going to make us look extremely foolish now.

I’m really uneasy with it ! Imagine if Rovers did that for any of our players !!! - Ouch

An employee of the club, the daughter of the chairman, should not be making any ‘public notes’. It’s completely unprofessional.

Even if Tella signs it’s tinpot and crap.

This isn’t Pace bashing either, I’ve given him loads of praise for what he’s done over the last year and I’m absolutely onside with his decisions made since relegation. I refuse to believe he signed off on it and assume his young daughter has made some misguided attempt at a fun video without thinking of the fallout possible.

(Note: Worth saying too that I obviously really hope Tella returns).

I think this is the start of a reveal video! There’s another one just been posted (by someone else mind). There’s no way a chairman would allow this sort of video be posted without a deal already made.

Yes this is a really strange one from Pace.

They have had great success with their social media marketing over the last 18 months. This comes across as an Ill thought out mistake, no doubt the transfer pages on Twitter will pick up in this soon and it will be everywhere getting slated.
