hypochondriac

If rickie goes then what Ralph said yesterday was basically a lie.

Didn't rickie say he was going to retire here?

How is 4 million not a bad deal? It's pathetic considering what he represents to this club.

When we get 60 odd million just for turning up, why are we selling our only fit striker for a poxy 4 million?

That is pathetic. After the pr bit from yesterday it seems it really was just words.

TBF it is Elizabeth truss in charge of the nursery debacle. Other than that I agree.

Is it the same people saying both things?

I heard Javier De Pedro was being considered

I did earlier.

I'm not touchy at all. I suggest you are reading too much into words on a screen.

Fair comments. Some of his management speak does grate on me but you make a good point it could be just getting lost in translation.

Did he? I never heard that. If so that's great news.

Obviously. They will have to go some to get players in who are better though. Certainly not English players anyway which will dampen my interest somewhat

Well in his own words it was clear he was referring to players leaving. Not sure why you are arguing, it's obvious that players will leave.

What I was saying is that I don't think it's unreasonable that many will not be positive until there is something to be positive about. With a load of players making worrying noises, I can see why many are quite downbeat about the club at the moment.

In the context of the quote he was talking about players leaving.

Again you are talking utter nonsense. I am not sad that Cortese has gone, it doesn't mean I want absolutely anyone in charge.

'we will not have a summer without transactions.' that's the players off then.

I gave wilde the benefit of the doubt and he f*cked us over. I'll wait to get excited when there is something to get excited about. All signs point to Shaw and Adam leaving to start with.

He really would! All eyes on the replacement to see if this board has any idea what they are doing.

It potentially is, but at the moment it is still only pretty words. We need a bloody good appointment and quality players now to really back up what he is saying. He has raised expectations there.

Well he has really raised expectations there. Highest quality managers in Europe? Highest quality players? Best be someone pretty amazing then...

I think that's quite unfair. If we get a **** hot manager, keep hold of the majority of our players and strengthen the I expect the vast majority will be very positive. You can hardly blame people for being negative at the moment, actions speak louder than words and so far there has been virtually nothing in the way of positive action.

The way they handled it with the press speculation IMO was poor. The situation with the players in the papers now is very poorly handled from as PR perspective.
