More likely to see Kevin Davies than Beatts, especially when it comes to playing ugly. Shall never forget Davies putting Ashley Cole out of action to allow Bridgey into the England team.

Rory Posted 7 December, 2009 Share Posted 7 December, 2009 As much as I loved Beattie playing for us, he will never be regarded as a Saints legend.

Too much aggro and his part in the sacking of Luggy could have been a catalyst for our demise. Hear hear. Plus he was looking to leave us as soon as he could. In the meantime during the first half of the season he kept Crouch out of the starting line up, even though his form was pretty poor and with hindsight, he may have done a better job and possibly kept us up. For example, we may have beaten Palace and West Brom at home. Although, I suppose Wigley could be to blame there for not dropping Beattie in favour of Crouch, also at that time we didn't think 'Crouchy was alright' because he hadn't scored that penalty.

You can only blame Wigley for that, the ****wit actually picked Dexter Blackstock ahead of Crouch at some point. You can't blame Beattie for wanting to leave after the jokers Lowe put in charge.

derry Posted 7 December, 2009 Share Posted 7 December, 2009 I think the players had Monday off, but Pulis called them in to training. Beattie fell out with him, possible blows according to some reports. Stoke did train today but Beattie didn't show up. Stoke have issued a statement that they are convening an official enquiry into the incident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan The Flames Posted 7 December, 2009 Share Posted 7 December, 2009 hence why I said "just a feeling" rather than "I know for a fact" That's my point, the four statements you made; hard to manage, always instigates the pranks, takes them too far, needs to be liked, are based on nothing other than a feeling. He's had a pretty long career at four clubs and not really caused much trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 7 December, 2009 Share Posted 7 December, 2009 Daily Mail says Pulis tried to head-butt him. If you know the area Tony Pulis grew up in Newport you wouldn't even consider that he tried a head-butt... and didn't manage it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw someone call out for Sajis in a thread today! Why can't we just move forward with new players and forget about the past 5 terrible years? Beattie would walk into any league one side and that includes ares, he'd get into most Championship sides as well, i'd be suprised if he had to drop down a league to get football. A team like Wigan, Hull or Burnley would love a striker with 100 premier league goals to his name. Nothing wrong with wanting to get a player back who impressed on loan for us. Just because it doesn't always work out doesn't mean it never will. We're desperate for a centre half or two, i'm not convinced Jaidi is anything special and at his age I doubt he'll be around much next season.

FloridaMarlin Posted 7 December, 2009 Share Posted 7 December, 2009 There was an incident at Bournemouth years ago when Pulis was manager and fell out with, I think, Mark O'Connor. The player was holding a conversation in a corridor at Dean Court when a door was suddenly and mysteriously shoved open with great force, catching the player on the side of his face and cutting his head open. It was almost as if the person opening the door knew the player was stood behind it, and by opening it as he did, knew he would catch him. Unfortunately, the person the player was having a conversation with was a journalist. And the conversation just happened to be about how he had fallen out with the manager.

St Landrew Posted 7 December, 2009 Share Posted 7 December, 2009 (edited) I believe that it's been posted on here that BTs part in the Sturrock's exit has been rather exaggerated and it was actually a more senior player who knocked on Lowe's door. Indeed. In fact it has been posted many times on this website, and the one previous to it, that Paul Sturrock confirmed that Beattie had nothing to do with his leaving SFC, or that another player was involved. It's actually in print somewhere, and if I thought it would change the rumour mongers opinions one jot, I might just bother trying to find it. But let's not let the truth get in the way of a good tasty bit of scandal, eh..? EDIT: Btw, I was on the point of moving this thread, but I believe I've actually made it Saints related myself.

He can sign for anybody but can't play until the transfer window opens. He's expensive and over the hill. If he were any good then clubs would be queueing up to sign him. So, Newcastle it is then.
