CB Fry

If I was him and the choice was there, I'd have gone for the Watford job. Still in the Championship, you're guaranteed a nice little pay off within six months when they inevitably sack you and it's a basket case club, so he'd get another job after it anyway. Leicester might work but a lot of pressure and a lot of scar tissue. He won't get away with an equivalent result to the 0-4 kicking we got at Sunderland - Leicester fans won't be standing for that.

I've heard bushes were involved.

I don’t really see where he would go that would be better than what we'd offer. Unless he wants to move back to Scotland and always dreamed of playing for Celtic/Rangers (who won't pay more than us). Would be amazed if he ended up at a Prem team. I'm not sure who that leaves. He's not going to leave us to join, say, Burnley surely? Honestly he is a huge injury risk so he's not down as a must-sign priority for me. I know they cocked up with Downs but I trust SR to get a replacement if needed.

You know it was you who raised the topic about me being a bully right? Cry more

Fine, I'm neither so works for me. Pick up with @Farmer Saint who is at least one of them

The only hypocrite is you - you are crying about me being a bully but accusing anyone questioning potential bullying by others as being "pussies". Make it make sense.

Stop crying about someone on a web forum being a “bully” and a “hard man” maybe?

I thought people needed to "stop being such pussies"?

Quite right. Boo hoo the media are being horrible and why aren't our club media contacts unflinchingly loyal and obedient to whatever the club says. Agree it is pathetic.

I think this existing in your own mind.

Well he hasn't been sacked and isn't going to be sacked. How long do you want to prolong playing the victim being you have got what you want?

I assume that a guy who spent two years working as an assistant at a EFL football club would know the rules of the league he was playing in rather than pretending he didn't. Maybe he doesn't have a pair of eyes or ears. To try and pin a load of blame on an intern for not speaking out more is a disgrace from Solak and here, you.

99% of the story is about spying and part of that was pressuring interns to support that even though it was against the rules. Frothing at the mouth about something that is at the fringes of the story I don't actually think adds to anything when the main facts are undisputed and admitted to.

I mean you people can pretend Tonda didn't go on screen and say "I am responsible" if you like. You can twist yourselves into mental gymnastic knots that "other people" did the bad things while poor old angelic innocent Tonda floated about being wonderful and was some kind of accidental innocent passenger in it all. But it's bullshit. He was, very obviously being - and admitted to - at the very heart of this. I dont get why people are falling over themselves to "prove" some distanced, reductive innocence when its obvious he isn't innocent, and the club and he himself admitted guilt to the investigation and on screen to our faces.

So apart from that you are 100% behind everything that Blackmore has said about the situation. Good to know.
