Happinesstan Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Player in toeing party line of people that pay his wages shocker. Look at Dubs interview a while ago for the blue print on how to do it without pissing off either the fans nor the regime. It's not rocket science and Longstaff should know better. Brain surgery isn't rocket science either. Just saying, don't ask me why. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 He can fuck off really Except our center backs, he most of all should be gutted Benitez is not here anymore. He'll amount to nothing under Bruce or similar type of manager that will be here from hereon out until Ashley is gone. This summer, seeing how things have gone, was his chance to get away and have the best opportunity to develop under better management. Now he's going to become a plodder that grafts at both ends of the field as the ball is hit past him every time we gain possession. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 We've been through this before. Just don't say anything in that case Hardly like he's working a 9-5 and at risk of getting sacked ffs. He could say whatever he wants and still get paid. He's a high value asset for the club he could call Ashley a c*** in the media and nothing would happen. Coming out with that s*** about forgetting Rafa and moving on with Bruce. Sicknening s*** On the list he goes What a load of shite man. This is the club that give its manager a formal written warning for talking about transfers in an interview. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitzgerald Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Aye maybe he's right and you have a point. Fuck it let's move on and get behind Bruce's mags like longstaff and bishop said Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Has Longstaff even actually said that? Because most of our players supposedly have a contract clause that states that the club can release quotes to the media in their behalf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He, personally, needs to focus on his game in order to obtain a move that will likely save his career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 Aye maybe he's right and you have a point. f*** it let's move on and get behind Bruce's mags like longstaff and bishop said Nobody is suggesting that at all. You just lack a fundamental understanding of how football clubs, players and the media etc. work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 If he doesn't say that, he doesn't get a pay rise. Let's be honest, that's the kinda way Ashley's club operates. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he could get a big contract and pay rise at Man U. So it's ok for players to peddle the pro Ashley pr then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd argue attending games and supporting the team is a better example of energy used up on the wrong cause but there you go, still gonna be nearly 50,000 mis-directing their energy at every home game.

Andy Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 No point in exerting vitriol towards the likes of Longstaff or any other player who comes out with soundbites that don't suit the anti-Bruce/anti-Ashley agenda. The players probably do want the fans to get behind the manager - I can't imagine they take much pleasure from playing in front of an antagonistic crowd. It's not in their interests to be part of a team that gets relegated, regardless of your own opinions on how you want the club to fare. Every single player at the club is an employee and a professional first and foremost, not a fan, and their own self-interests will always be at heart, which is just human nature.

Missed the point, I'm talking about people who are staying away from games yet for some reason think it's useful to make dumb lists up of players to hate based on PR shite and vanilla quotes in the paper. Waste of time. Let's hate Mike Ashley, but let's hate Lascelles, Dummett & Longstaff too... Nah. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not suggesting 'going after' Longstaff or any other player who might come out with a soundbite that either directly or indirectly supports, defends or plays-down the ills of the regime, but if you're not a part of the solution then you're part of the problem, and I wouldn't blame anyone for taking issue with those sorts of comments.
