Guest BlacknWhiteArmy Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 For fucks sake, on the main page it just says "Jose Enrique breaks..." Heart skipped a beat. He'll be gone this window anyway, as if it would matter Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minhosa Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 If I put that on my Facebook, and I'm working for a company where pay has been frozen for 3 years, I'd be hauled over the coals or even sacked. If you were one of the top 4/5 people in your profession in the country and extremely good at your job you would have more influence than just being a mmeber of the workforce.

9 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 All I hope is that he don't end up at Liverpool, he may see our policy as bad but liverpools 6 months of premiership form and we will buy you for 10s of millions is no better in the long run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 He's quite possibly right in everything he says (who really knows) but he's an idiot for saying it in public. It doesn't help the club, and it doesn't help our potential recruitment drive if players hear that our lot are allegedly liars. I dunno which pisses me off more tbh, what he's accusing the club of, or him saying it in public like this. All that being said, I think he's a numpty if he thinks our recruitment policy so far this summer hasn't been good, and find it disrespectful to the new signings, coming from a guy who's been putting in half arsed performances for the last four or five months. Not that he cares, considering he's saying that we don't have one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether they do or don't, pretending that they're white knighting for the sake of the fans is going too far. I have a healthy distrust of the motives of any professional athlete, no matter where they stand on issues, and enrique/barton/anyone rightfully (imo) getting digs in at MA/DL doesn't equate to them looking out for us.

Minhosa Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Looking forward to seeing the same old people trotting out the same old chat, defending this mob when we sell Tiote next and then Coloccini next summer. I'll be the first to say that we could be in danger next year if the morale is poor among the players through lack of trust in the management and board.

Wallace Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I just wish players would keep this s*** in house. Barton, Jose...they must think we're the only non top 6 club who sells if a big offer comes in. Bet they weren't whinging last year when they were picking up £5m between them in the Championship. I think the players do make an effort to keep things inhouse. There have been many arguments between the players and Ashley/Llambias and most stuff stays in house. Nolan always said this was important to give the club an appearance of stability. The trouble is this helps the hierarchy because it is the players who get accused of a lack of loyalty or being greedy when they decide to move on. The sale of Carroll was the breaking point because I believe he did not want to leave and the other players knew that as well. When you have players like Given, Nolan and Jose who have been very happy at the club wanting to leave because they are not happy with what's going on, then they can't all be wrong. The circumstances may differ but we only ever hear one side of the story. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cubaricho Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I see a lot of talk right now about people defending the board, yet I don't see anyone actually defending them.

Jayson Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Theres clearly personal bias behind some of these comments as said. His mates are leaving/have left the club, but hes not in a solid position to say our new signings wont improve us. Hes not happy obviously, maybe in regards to his contract offer. The Carroll situation clearly had further implications though as many suggested at the time, along with letting go of Nolan who was likely highly liked.
