Minhosa Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 It's just stupid sometimes man. We deny a bid = we're selling, no comment = we're selling, anything accept admitting openly we're selling = we're selling. Why not just assume we're selling every player mentioned by every random journo? You've got to see that the handling of the Carroll sale, the general lack of proactive communication and the downright 'shadyness' of the Board/Management Team invite question?

Yes, of course, I just don't think it means that all our worst fears will happen every single time. Edit: oh actually, I only agree with the Carroll sale bit, the rest I think is nonsense.

mrmojorisin75 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 I don't really see how Ashley will rape them financially as you yourself have acknowledged he's the best in the division at what he does. how do the two relate? he signed a 6 year contract and we're under no pressure to sell, if they do want him ashley will push them to the limit imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll end up bringing in a player who isn't as good so we'll be worse off on the pitch. What good is the money in that case? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really care about Llambias's character TBH, he's not a guy I like but that doesn't mean I automatically assume he will do whatever is worst. I've said many times on this forum that I think the communication issue is a massive red herring. You can't expect the club to detail its thinking or its planning in public, and I don't understand what people want the board to say. Almost every time they've made a statement it's been harmful, I'd rather they kept quiet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlito Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 Oh great, here we fucking go. We said the same about Carroll I believe. You just know the fat fuck is going to ask them to name their offer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What good is the money in that case? yeah i get that, but you said he wouldn't rape them financially - 20m is arguably a pretty fair raping for a player like tiote who doesn't have added english tax it'd be closer to 25m imo anyways, ashley's had a taste of roman wedge now, he'll want more Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost every time they've made a statement it's been harmful, I'd rather they kept quiet. Couldn't disagree with you more on the communications point. If they were up front with the paying public they may upset a few people but at least we would know their intentions, their plans for the club and have an idea of why they made certain decisions seeing as we would have some idea of what the bigger picture was. You don't care about the character of the guy leading the club on a day to day basis? Oh, and on the 'not always expecting the worst/everyone to leave' point you made earlier, I agree.

Dr Venkman Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 at least we know we've got a strong willed manager to fight his corner on keeping the best players at the club, and at the worst if he is sold we know he'll be knocking on ashley's door demanding that every penny be put back into the team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colocho Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 They have only come out and said this via Twitter? There's no need for anything more than that at this stage, is there? The can't be holding a press conference for every piece of press bullshit. Someone of authority has obviously told this to go out via social media, why is it no going through any other channels...

So if we sell it will be us getting raped not Roman. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
