They best get someone in mightily impressive to replace rickie for years to come then.

In fairness you don't know that. It could be that Jose is being more measured in public than he is in private.

I can't see there being a revote as I doubt they can prove things despite everyone knowing it was dodgy. The whole thing is a farce.

I agree but in private they should not be ignoring phonecalls. That's not exactly going to help the situation.

In an unprecedented move, I agree with shurlock.

I don't think even in worst case scenarios did I imagine this summer and the upheaval would have been handled as badly as it has.

Do you get a trophy for third best player?

Hush. Even if he talks a load of nonsensical gibberish of an evening we aren't allowed to speculate! I thought drunkeness was the most obvious explanation but it seems there must be some other deep psychological issues.

Not brilliant he is a bellend.

Three times a day but it may make his posts even longer if that were possible.

I think most are annoyed at the wasted potential here to actually do something of note. Athletico fulfilled their potential so they can be rightly satisfied whatever happens. We never got close to ours and achieved very little by comparison.

Exactly. What players would ever want to come here this summer after all this? The message we are sending out is that we are a selling club in meltdown.

Well then will we have to sign three strikers now? Along with an attacking midfielder to replace Adam potentially, a left back and a couple of Centre backs as a minimum. We will end up with 7 or 8 new players this is depressing! Why is it with sfc we have to have extremes, either the iron fist of Nicola where everything is fine on the pitch but lots wrong off it or this shambles? Why can we not have a well run and ruthless football club who are also caring and personable off it??? I despair.

Agree with all of that. Good post.

I'm struggling to think of many worse deal for us. You are right it is a total travesty.

Apoplectic rage? I'm bloody annoyed that we sold our talisman and one of our best players for 4 million. My young cousin idolised rickie and is now very upset and it has ruined his world cup. I'm not happy.

How is him saying the new manager has a say with all transactions and then that proving not to the case the very next day not a lie?

I've never heard of a club losing their manager and their four best players in one transfer window. If that happens to us surely it is unprecedented?

Not sure why you find it so odd that people are annoyed about this.

Just heard it on 5 live. 4 million is an absolute joke and coming immediately after Ralph's statement is pathetic and means he has lied to the fans. Absolutely fuming.

I think it's more that people want to be able to cheer on our legendary saints striker at the world cup. Selling him before that means it will not be the same.

This.
