JH Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 'But the ball rests firmly in the player's court' Our PR department is working overtime to make sure Enrique leaves as a greedy money-grabbing t*** and not as someone leaving for a club with more ambition. but it's true, they've made him an ofer and now its up to the player. Nah man madras. They're holding a gun to his head and he's not allowed to come out and say that they're lying and that he doesn't want to leave.

Taylor Swift Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 'But the ball rests firmly in the player's court' Our PR department is working overtime to make sure Enrique leaves as a greedy money-grabbing t*** and not as someone leaving for a club with more ambition. but it's true, they've made him an ofer and now its up to the player. None of us have any idea what kind of offer they've made and what conditions are attached to it. Saying they've made an offer and saying it's up to Enrique is far too simple a conclusion to make. If Enrique rejects whatever offer the club has made is he a money-grabbing footballer? I'm willing to bet a lot of money that this is what the club will say, and Enrique will move on to a club with more ambition, say all the things that you'd expect someone like him to say ('I want to play in the CL, I want to win trophies etc.') and half the people on here will still think he's a money-grabbing twat and not realise that with the third biggest stadium in the country and one of the most loyal fanbases, there shouldn't be any doubt that we should be aiming to play in the Champions League.

Taylor Swift Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Are Colocho and Pip really thinking that our 'PR department' are writing articles with the Journal? You'll never make it as a journalist if you don't sometimes write articles based on stuff that your source has said even though you know that he's just playing you. It's a give and take. Do you think these journalists would have any information about what happens at the club if they don't, from time to time, write articles that paint the club in a good light? If any journalist repeatedly writes shit about the club, do you think Llambias lets him into St. James'? If the past few years has taught all of us anything about the way this club is run, it's that there are certain journalists/newspapers that are clued up on what happens at the club, and this access to information that other journalists/newspapers don't possess comes at a price.

No certain 'journalists' are banned when they write sensationalist pieces with little to no substance to back up their claims. If you're ever going to make it as a journalist yes you need good working relationships. That however does not extend to writing articles based on things you believe to be bollocks. I think the writer Mark Douglas is a fairly sound journalist who writes some good stuff from time to time. If it was coming from Lee Ryder who I think tows the club line and is happy to be for the administration if it means he gets a phone call now and again with inside information . This club may have become more media savvy but to think they outright dictate articles like some form of dictatorship administration. I think some of the problem is those who dislike the clubs owners let it seep into all avenues. So the thought of Enrique putting himself first or being portrayed as someone who may be selfish is all the work of those in charge of the football club like some puppeteers. I mean look at the article we are discussing. All it says is the ball is in Enrique's court. Meaning the offer is there it's just his decision whether he wants to discuss, reject, or accept it.

Should remember Alan Oliver was on the NUFC payroll during the Freddy Shepherd era. Thomson House are a lot more critical of the club than they were under the Hall and Shepherd era.

Flip Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Bassong left us when he could've stayed, in that sense I'd rather have him not even come close to the ground. On the other hand, if he was back to his old form, he'd be a big improvement on Williamson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Surely made up and will never happen. Barton just said that the 'group of lads' basically told Bassong to fuck off if he wasn't up for the battle, can't see any way he'll play for us again.

Lush Vlad Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Didn't he go on strike and refuse to play a pre season friendly to force a move, Dundee I think it was, drew 1-1, Carroll scored.

steve_69 Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 There's no way Ashley will sanction an £8m move for a player we sold for £8m If Tottingham are selling because they don't want him, there's no way we'd pay that much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
