Shay Given signs for Manchester City for £5.9m plus add-ons


Recommended Posts

Shay's press conference is basically an eight minute rant at the vermin running NUFC. That story from a few people about him telling Ashley that he's ruined the club suddenly seems much more likely. Good, I'd rather that from him (and N'Zogbia) than keeping quiet on the issue. Best communication the fans have had about the situation since the wankers got here tbh.

The fact that nobody from "the regime" approached him about his concerns until January 26th really does highlight, underline and draw a fucking circle around the fact that we are run by complete and utter wankers.

So he is moaning because it would have suited him if the board just wanted to get shot of him. But they didnt want him to go and so and made him put his request to leave in writing. They have then tried to get as much as poss for him after failing to get him to stay. 

Because that stalled the move and stopped him going in a flash he is bad mouthing the club.

The club should have been stronger and told him to shut the fuck up and keep scraping along on his 35K a week until summer to keep us up.

Postscript: What are Man city going to win this season.

Answer, Fuck all.

People can have their opinion on Shay Given, and if it's turned sour and negative then fair enough - it's their opinion. For me though, having watched that press conference, it's done nothing but enhance my ill-feeling towards the running of our club, and the cretins in charge.

 

For a long while i thought Shay would never leave. :nope:

It's sad to look at BBC's story history on Given:

 

  Given completes Man City transfer

01 Feb 09 |  Man City

Harper extends deal at Newcastle

27 Jan 09 |  Newcastle

Hughton plays down Given transfer talk

27 Jan 09 |  Football

No problem with Given - Kinnear

02 Jan 09 |  Football

Kinnear rules out Given departure

02 Jan 09 |  Newcastle

Given is going nowhere - Kinnear

14 Nov 08 |  Newcastle

Belief came from Kinnear - Given

04 Nov 08 |  Newcastle

Felt quite strange reading that.

 

I'm going to try and keep my eyes off Man City games for a while because it'll only really hit me when I see him wearing their keeper jersey during a match.

 

I know.  I don't remember feeling like this. It actually hurts to see him in a Man City top.  It feels like he's cheating on me. By that I don't mean I harbor negative feelings towards him.

I wish he hadnt left that comment of "the club made me do things I didnt want to do" hanging. I want to know what that is all about

 

I take it as the club is being run into the ground and because of that I have had to pursue a transfer in the best interests of my career.

I don't blame him at all - its easy for people to say he should have stayed till the summer - he had an offer now, who knows what would have happened by the summer  - could have been injured, City could have looked at Buffon etc - thus circumstances could have been very different and he needs to do what is right for him - bloody hell, he's given us 12 years of great service, he doesn't owe us a thing - its not his fault the hierarchy continue to screw things up.

 

To be fair, he had every right to go a long time ago, the number of false promises and new dawns at this club over the last 12 years, it is admirable a player of his quality stuck it out.

 

Totally agree.

Surely the only thing it can be is that he was made to put in a transfer request, therefore depriving him of money.

 

Unless they made him scrub the bogs with a toothbrush before he left for Manchester like.

One of the most honest and forthright posts I've seen on here in a long time Doug.

The club wanted him to stay, he didn't want to stay.

He's twisting the facts now.

 

We are slowly getting there in terms of a squad of players who have passion and want to play for NUFC.

Bassong, Guthrie, Collicini, Nolan, Jonas - they'll do me.

Time for everyone to get together, it really is. I honestly believe we are moving in the right direction.

If you believe that direction is down, then you're spot on.

What a bunch of crap. There was a statement from his lawyer after the Liverpool game. Given left for football reasons, not for the money.
