if the club play him his transfer value will go down and so I doubt the club are willing to do that

Fonte obviously is not the same club servant he was before the |Euros. I never want our players to be chosen for international duty anymore as they get their heads turned

well if they are in a relegation battle then we must be,I would put money on that they will finish higher than us this season. Of course things may change and we start scoring goals, but at present it doesnt look like it. The club is in turmoil at present and the complacency in the summer window is perhaps coming home to roost.

Only one team can buy a player, who in the end chose us. Personally Im delighted he came to us as he will be a damned good player

It was a different world, but times were grim and you didnt have fans in replica kits and dressed like Pippo the clown. There was always a menace at away games and the gobby ****s ended up with a kick. Now you just get gobby ****s. Im not wishing for a return to those days, but fans like Dougal were respected , had balls of steel when facing some large groups of opposition fans. The world of football has been sanitised and now I am happy to take my children and grandchild, no way would the same then, it was predominently a mans territory and all that came with it.

Ok thats fair comment but my perception is that you do jump down the throats of some with valid concerns. Some posters do deserve it of course, but in the main most who come on here to voice the concerns for the club they have invested their time and life in are doing so because they care.

take it as you want, Iam just teling people what was said. It is pertinent as fans were jumping to conclusions that he was making trouble and since the poster has said it was his own musings

true but there was no need for him to be so upbeat.Apparently he said it without being pushed. How he feels now I dont know, when Im passing next time Ill call in and see if the person who told me has heard anymore.

This is something I brought up soem time ago, if we are not in a strong financial state with all the good money taken in, our business model must really be cack.

sadly you are the sheeps leader, you question nothing and just go along thinking that the club is not out to make money. I admire your unquestioning loyalty, but whether the owner takes a dividend or sees the clubs worth rise year on year it is a nice little earner. She doesnt need an income from the club as she is very well heeled. There was something online the other day saying her fortune was 3.3bn (i wouldnt know if that was true but i assume they didnt pluck it out of the air)and so having a loan is not the end of the world.

Thanks for putting that up VFTT, it is a shame is a player is caught in this mud sligging and he was not part of the problem. My info about Long saying the players loved Puel (some weeks ago ) is correct, hopefully the Black cloud may be lifted

:) Are you saying Black is on his way or that you agree with Shurlocks opinion of you loll

It's probably Harrison Reed signing his new contract........only kidding

well I trust the man who Long spoke to and he is somebody who doesn't need to make false rumours, many of you on here would have visited his business in the New Forest

Gary Rowett seems the right type,

Was he not there under Pardew and Adkins?

it is a fact thoug, so they did have an honours policy ( not obsessed) as it actually happened. Not the 'we are going to be in the CL' and then go and sell the quality you have to get you there.

the same could be said of VVD as it was in the media for a long time we were after him

that's what he said, but things may have deteriated since. I did post the comments up just after I was told some weeks ago I

The thing about Long rails against what he said to somebody that has a business near where Shane lives. It was some weeks ago but he said the players loved CP and he was the best he had played under! Im not saying VFTT is wrong but the words were from Long himself. Perhaps people are jumping at the conclusion both at Long is one of the unhappy players

well i was listening to 5live talkin last night and the Everton fan said they were outsung for 80 minutes until they scored

or Leicester, and Stoke are playing better football than us.They also haven't had 10ms of income on player sales

Not sure who Evans is, but it doesn't matt r the players reaction but the West Ham player left the ground with both feet. Had that tackle been made against a Saints player I would want a sending off. No doubt the player rolling on the ground did reinforce Deans decision to send the player off. Yes the 2nd was way offside

I think a lot of fans are frustrated as the penny has dropped that although players like VVD have signed long contracts the club are lining up to sell. Add to that the fact we lost the major goalscorers from the team we didn't fully replace those goals. They then come out and indicate that Austin was Pelles replacement, but not when he was bought. We were short of forwards before the 2 left let alone after

As much as I feel Dean is having a poor time reffing , to my mind the West Ham player had both feet off the ground, and thought that was a red card offence.
