CPL Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Good read people already mentioned it in the thread confirmed everyone about Shepherd. P.S who deleted my sig a few days ago Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Snrub Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I had a talk with then-chairman, Freddie Shepherd, and told him how much I wanted to earn. It was a ludicrous amount, but he didn’t bat an eyelid. Luque: I won't sign for a penny less than £40k a week FFS: Done! Luque: Wait, did I say 40.. cause I clearly meant 60..

Zero Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 So now the question mark is on top of Owen....and probably Duff and Emre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest eyeball_tickler Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 So now the question mark is on top of Owen....and probably Duff and Emre. why just them? why not any player who has signed for fairly big money? viduka, martins, butt, smith etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Phil K Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 A totally honest interview tbh. Confirms quite a few things that many of us suspected. Thoroughly agree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TêteDeMaure Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Blatant bitter comments. If he was to have stayed and been in good form, he'd have been saying he knew how good he'd be here and yada yada loves the fans, city, the whole shabang.

Karjala Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 As honest as it might have been, it doesnt bring him out in any better light. Ajax fans must be feeling really happy they signed him too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mobiius Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Has said he didn't want to sign for NUFC, only signed for the ludicrous money. Reckons Roeder is a t*** but thinks the new management will go on to succeed. Pretty much what most of us thought. What a waster/wanker. Hope he tears his hamstring again or alot worse. Twat is laughing all the way to the bank though at our expense. > How can anyone seriously feel sorry for him? He's the epitomy of a foriegn mercenary from hell! Good riddance to a horrible piece of shit. We are still paying for Soumess's numerous mistakes. yeah totally agree with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmymag Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 Omg Is that the best you can do this time, trying to defend the indefensible! FFS is, was and always will be a twat, totally out of his depth running a business as big as NUFC. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sicsfingeredmong Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 He was prepared, for a good period at least by his own admission, to leach an extraordinary amount of quid per week out of the club while turning down offers to return home to as he described it a 'beautiful country', back to a league which is technically superior but is played at a slower pace with a reduced emphasis on the 'physical game' in comparison to the EPL. A style of play which is more suited. These opportunites to return home virtually amounted to a series of 'Get Out of Jail' cards and he knocked them back - for the sake of quid. To knock back such opportunities, when in the prime of his playing career, mirrors that of the half-arsed attitude/lack of drive that was put on display on the few occasions he was given under Roeder's tenureship. An atypical merc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ridzuan Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 I agree with what he had to say about Roeder.But I was surprised and angry that he came here for the money that we offered him,which I dont think is right,but Freddy is the main culprit and idiot.He is bad in doing business,I wonder who else in the squad who came here because they got the wages that they wanted from Freddy during his time as the chairman.

sparta Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 really cant blame him dough.. would have done the same thing! altough.. i think he tried to make an impression at newcastle, but just failed at do so, so why not just make a bit of money as well? wish lucky all the best at his next club and hope he will enjoy life there! better there than here i say!

Guest Synthespian Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 ...but it does go to prove that Freddy was/is a total fkn idiot!!! You needed proof? He is a tosspot - Shepherd. He got the club into £78m of debt and walked away with a £34m pay-off, or something similar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
