duo Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 f***ing predictable and embarrassing. Again. Will be the same story in the summer. More money he keeps the quicker our loan to him is gone and he has no reason to stay If you owned a business you could skim £40m a year off of, would you let it go? …not to mention the millions in free advertising. Winner winner, Chicken dinner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More money he keeps the quicker our loan to him is gone and he has no reason to stay I would love to believe in this concept. It would make me feel slightly better about the lack of ambition. I honestly believe if he got his money back he'd stay, not only to keep taking but because of the huge amount of media exposure his shitty brand gets for free on a weekly basis.

Honestly, this line of thought is akin to expecting your anti social neighbours to move out of their house once (and because) they've paid back their mortgage.

TK-421 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 How can we drive him out (I dont think not turning up is an option) Unfortunately I think that's the only way - season ticket sales first would be a big indicator - if there's a huge drop in ST sales, it might make him sit up, due to the loss of guaranteed ticket revenue. Then it he would be relying on the 'on the day' gate receipts.... just have to hope enough stayed away. However, a no-show of fans at home games would doubtless affect the team, so its a difficult one to know whats for the best. Think first, we have to hope there enough of a drop in ST renewals or even cancellations to make him take notice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cajun Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Graham Carr should jack it in and get a job with a club with ambition. Luckiest man alive tbh, gets to fly around the world watching whatever game he wants knowing that we won't sign anyone he recommends so he has absolutely no pressure to get it right. Probably get a fair old whack to do it as well. It's better than my job anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Graham Carr should jack it in and get a job with a club with ambition. He must feel like he's wasting his life and talent, scouring the French leagues for months on end for what?? A lowball transfer offer and throw on the stack of oh we tried paperwork.

TK-421 Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 @lee_ryder: Cardiff City have made a late, late bid to try to sign Papiss Cisse on loan. But they are facing a race against time to get him #nufc #ccfc I think he does need a run of games to try and get his touch/confidence back (and learn the offside trap), but we can't give him that time, so a loan could be an ideal option..... if it wasn't 2.5hrs till the window shuts. So with that, I'd tell them to **** off! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 How can we drive him out (I dont think not turning up is an option) There is no way sadly, unless you could get 50% of the crowd to stay away for a long time. And even then, he would need to find a buyer. And even then, it would be blind luck whether the buyer was better or worse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattoon Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Got to love Cisse's tenacity, he's been pimped to every country that has a football league and his feet are firmly on SJP soil, if he resists Cardiff too! Now if only he could show that kind of determination on the pitch... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 At 6 pm we were closed for business, as soon as an offer for one of our players come's in the overtimes on !!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_R Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 So terribly true. Seems we can sell players between now and 11pm, but it's impossible to bring them in. Tells you everything you need to know. Not that we didn't already know it anyway... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Loaning Cisse out would leave Shola 3rd choice. Although he's been ahead of Cisse anyways this season.. Can't see him going unless they offer a good loan fee. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
