It's just logical, after the verdict in the Simon Dobbin case they need to free up some space.

Oh ****ing hysterical.

I also am wanting to know the source of this information.

Didn't he get 6 months? With good behaviour you get let out earlier which normally is half the sentence, so he must have done 3 months already.

Now sort your life out and do what you're gifted to do and play football.

I think the original sentence was 8 months.

 

[Shrimpergonzo]

Certainly his original release is not until 25th September (halfway through his sentence) according to law pages http://www.thelawpages.com/court-cases/Nile-Ranger-20105-1.law

However I think he could get released on Home Detention Curvew (electronic tagging) 25% of the way through his sentence which would fit with the 24th July Date (he was sentenced on 23rd May).

What's your source that this is definitely happening Rigsby?

With a bit of luck he will be fit by the end of the season.

Surely has to see this as his final chance, not just with us, but as a final chance to salvage his career in the game.
Don't have a problem with him back in the squad. The offenses happened before he signed for us, done his time, drugs thing last season, stupid and immature. The club will loose all credibility with a large section of it's fan base,including me, if it tolerates any further bad behavior. His ability at our level is clear to see. Must constantly prove his worth for most fans to forget and forgive his past actions. Good luck Nile, show us who you really are.

 

[Floval Flyer]

Well I am happy ! I think he deserves one final chance to prove he has grown up!

I presume he'll be on parole ? Electronic tagged? A curfew... except for Tuesday nights !

U aint gonna get a much better striker then ranger at this level! Yes id take another striker but we banged in 70 goals last season ! Just give coxy the ball and hell do the rest

Nile Ranger is due to be released on the 24th of July. We may even see him play against Newport in the league cup.

Good job too, he should not have gone to prison in the first place.

 

[tottenham541]

Don't think he will be rushed back, think PB will see where he is fitness wise to start with, go with our others strikers and see if they get goals and then we will see ranger back coming on from the bench.

 

[Somerset Ex-TTB]

This is good news if true, as he will be available from the start of the season, if only for short Cameos until September. Hopefully he doesn't pick up any other injuries. Newport better watch out, he might start that game lol

 

[Polish_Blues]

We won more games when Ranger started for us, just image he started 40 games at least, we might win 28 games given his track records for us last year!

Just get yourself fit!

Yes - our points tally when Ranger started games versus when Ranger was not starting was tremendous last season. It did tail off a bit towards the end of the season but still quite a remarkable set of figures.

As for fitness, I am sure Ranger will have been line dancing whilst in prison so he should be fine.

Yay cocaine taking money stealing scrote back representing SUFC....shameful

I think serving a fraction of his sentence and walking straight back into a high status relatively well paid job as if nothing happened will teach Nile one hell of a lesson.

I know you jest, but surely this 'taster' of being banged up even for just 3 months, thus missing end of season holiday, time abroad with team mates must still be a wake up call...

Surely he must know that one step out of line in the future will mean no job, potentially longer jail sentence if he breaks the law again and ultimate ruin?!

Would love to think he's finally exited the revolving door, only he can decide.

Still yet to hear the source of this claim, if so it will be interesting to see if he's at the Meet the Blues day?
