Wallace Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Still don't have a clue why he stopped following his former team mates on twitter. But how many NUFC first team players are on Twitter? Jonas and Simpson? Anyone else? It is mostly the kids. Jonas rarely tweets and mostly in Spanish and Simpson's tweets are nonsense most of the time.

Razor Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Disappointed to see him go, he had his ups and downs but i would have to say he's been one of the most entertaining players to watch and listen to since he got an injury-free run, we will have a more settled side without him no doubt but not one that wins more matches. On the wider picture, i think Mike and co have made it quite clear that anyone that doesn't agree with their policies and submit to their rule will be shipped out, or not signed in the first place. Nolan, Barton, Nolan are all strong characters who refused to 'tow the line' (regardless of what you think of the line itself), and Enrique had big goals with understandably aren't going to be realised here in the short or medium term.

Cajun Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 My personal belief is under Hughton the likes of Nolan and Barton had pretty much free reign, Ashley rightly or wrongly (probably a bit of both) didn't like this and replaced Hughton brining in a manager who wouldn't go along with this. The players in the 'clique' didn't like this one bit, then when they weren't offered the big contracts they demanded used the obvious ill feeling the fans have towards the board (Barton being the biggest offender) to cause unrest and get moves away for cheap enough to allow these demands to be fulfilled by other clubs. Enrique, although I think led us along quite a bit at least left for genuine ambitious reasons. Now I am not absolving the board of any blame, all 3 players should have either stayed or not been allowed to leave for the pittance we got however I think the players have lied just as much, if not more than the board and have used the animosity mentioned above to sway the fans. *tin hat* Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't kid yourself that that any of them are interested in anything other than money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Oh I'm not but I do believe even if Jose was after a lot more money he was still ambitious which played a part in his move (he wouldn't have moved to QPR or West Ham no matter what basically). The long and short of it is there are a lot of people in the wrong over this (not just the easy target, the board) and the only ones really losing out are us, the fans (and slightly the board who could have got more money for all but it's their mistakes that let it get to this point so tough shit).

Fair enough when they're still here, but why continue the 'lie' when they've left? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wil Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Be interesting to see how things develop at QPR. Wouldn't be surprised if he gets a softer ride from the southern media now he's joined a London club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Pride? Still sticking a boot into the board who didn't allow them to continue their free reign? It's all speculation but it's how I see the situation and open to be pulled to bits. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And others move on for better wages and to more ambitious clubs. Their leaving will probably be less acrimonious because they are not likely to rock the boat. We have to expect that as soon as we have a decent player on our hands, that they will move on fairly quickly once they get a better offer that this club are not prepared to match. At the moment, we should have enough about us (providing we find someone who can score goals) to survive the the recent exodus but I don't think that will continue to be the case if the same scenario is repeated every year.

Razor Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Question, with such a frugal board, what justification do they have for letting him leave on a free?

ponsaelius Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Wraith's a fucking bellend. A chronic one at that. Couldn't be less interested about a talk-in like that. Even if they spill the truth, it's likely what we already suspect anyway. Ex-NUFC players talking about how shit the club is and how great it is being elsewhere? Fuck that.
