. Stoke fume as Jones downs tools Submitted by tribalfootball.com on Tue, 01/14/2014 - 06:54 Share on emailShare on print Stoke City have fined Kenwyne Jones after he downed tools on Saturday. The Daily Mail reports Jones has been fined two weeks' wages by Stoke after texting manager Mark Hughes to say he was unavailable to play against Liverpool. The Trinidad and Tobago striker was hit with an £80,000 penalty after failing to report for Sunday's game. Jones, who has six months left on his contract, contacted his manager on Saturday night to say he had no intention of turning up at the Britannia Stadium. Stoke were unsure whether he would carry through his threat but it became evident that the 29-year-old would not be playing after he failed to attend the team's pre-match meal at the club's Clayton Wood training ground.

The music is almost as impressive as his goalkeeping.

It was a shame that he went to the wrong place at the wrong time and all that promise just disappeared. Just like Beattie.

Stuart Ripley was poor but we got him in a deal with Beats in exchange for Kevin Davies.

If the Selection Committee did not realise we need another top class CB & Goalkeeper, they certainly do now as these defensive errors have gone on far too long.

I sat next to a reporter from NBC on the train to the Chelsea Game last month. He had been down to Staplewood to interview Cody Cropper regarding his chances in USA TEam for world cup. He said there are strong rumours that workers in the Cement Works Site on the Itchen opposite the Stadium, had received redundancy notices and an unknown company was buying the site. Make of that what you will.

I remember his ears.

Anders never fulfilled the goal scoring potential he had before he came to us. I remember he was having one of his best games V Fulham away when Wiggles pulled him off to a chorus of "you don't know what your doing" from Saints fans.

He was always keen on the Academy but apart from some terrible managerial appointments, as Colinjb said, the lack of spending on Saha and Malbranque, not only cost us a good manager but millions of pounds also. He can never be forgiven for that.

Anybody heard what Sam Sodje is up to lately?

Cannot disagree with that .

Excellent as he started in pre-season and has been in all his games for the first team. Intelligent young man in the Ward-Prouse mold.

He is thought of very highly by the coaching staff

My goodness. What a goal!

I was in the Corporates yesteday too for the first time and it was all that spyinthesky said it was. Excellent hospitality.

I always found him too dour and thus I would think it would be difficult to motivate players.

Anglia were top notch for me. You can get them down in price and they left the site immaculate when they finished. Three days later the fitters came back just to make sure I was happy with their work. I would use them again.

Hope you had a great Mick and invited Garry LIne-akeeeeer.

After admiring him for years, I met him with my son in the Hospitality Lounge at the Dell in the early 80's for the first time. He fetched our drinks on that day and was mixing and chatting with all the guests. What a man.

Jack Cork is an excellent player but as RobM said, he plays a similar role as Wanyama. No one can ignore that Wanyama is so much stronger than Jack and I cannot see him starting regularly unless Wanyama or Morgan are injured.

Even older when you remember watching Derek Reeves play v Cherries at Dean Court in the Third Division South

I seem to recall that the FL made conditions that their monthly management accounts were to be submitted, 'er.. monthly. Is anybody ,who knows one of the fan "owners" aware that this transparency is being complied with?

The compensation and the extra Salary to get anyone to take on the Skates is going to burn a hole in their budget. I would love to see the monthly management accounts. Anyone ITK?

Do not worry about the Tories. The bookies and the opinion polls are never wrong. Only a couple of years to go.

We will be renamed "The Bluebirds" next.
