Greg Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Daily Mail ..... one of my farts has more credibility. Craig Hope - former employee of the club - usually gets things right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozy Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Things like this will happen at every club. Same as with Lascelles and Diame last season, let's move on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
morla84 Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Get the feeling that this source is leaking stuff like this at the request of Keith, try to shake the bond between fans, manager and players. Divert attention away from Ashley by any means necessary Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
midds Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Barely even worth a paragraph let alone a full article on it. Run of the mill occurrence. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Craig Hope is as anti Ashley as any and while it’s his job to write stories to sell papers, he’s no shit stirrer or cause any bother. Hopefully Ritchie will have had the same kind of slap Diame had. Joking aside, I can easily see frustrations boiling over behind the scenes among some players because all their hard work and that of Rafa’s is going to be in vain while Ashley remains the owner. This can be turned into a good thing or be the sign of things to come... again worrying times! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Not sure who it was, but one manager came out with the view that he prefers it when his players have arguments like this. Says the clubs he was at where it happaned where the more successful clubs where as the ones where it never happaned were the strugglers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Both players shook hands and agreed to move on after a talk with Rafa Benitez Benitez, who wasn't in the room at the time, is happy with the resolution Still, I'm concerned about all of this tbh. Feels edgy. We need a couple of wins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilson Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Coming from Craig Hope, I'd be worried if I hadn't already written this season off as a massive waste of fuckin time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toonjam88 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I don’t think Ritchie is in the wrong here like. Sounds as if Lascelles has a bit of a ego and believes his own hype and needs a slap. Of course he is young and will probably learn from it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sho Time Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (while this has all definitely been blown out of proportion) Whatever people say about Ritchie and wanting to upgrade with Townsend, you absolutely can't underestimate his influence off the pitch. He's a radge bastard and will not accept a scrap less than 100% from anyone, even holding his captain to account when needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LRD Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Whatever happened between Rafa, Lascelles, Shelvey, Ritchie, doubt there will be any long-term negative effects. Rather the players hold self-responsibility than the meek cowards we had during our relegation season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Bit pathetic from Craig like. If there's one thing I've learned from Twitter it is that most journalists are self important wankers who think they and their new elevated status makes them some kind of demi-god.

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Can't believe I'm sticking up for Cider Ryder but he's just reporting that the players aren't happy with the coverage - a story to the original story Hope trying desperately to keep the drama alive. I wonder why... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magpie Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I'm beginning to think maybe he is publishing these stories for another purpose (ie. at the request of the club to stir further shit) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
