[Archived] Hattrick
Exiled_Rover replied to ultrablue's topic in I Can't Believe It's Not Football Archive
Just joined up, I'll get back to you on how it is -
And rightly so
-
Not after recent events no

It's a bit of both You presented one side of the argument very well whilst ignoring the whole post Dingle period

Ok Rev look at it this way Pre-return from the Dingledome:- "He's been at Bolton reserves, Charlton reserves and a few months at Ewood. He's only a squad player who means next to nothing to our club." "I couldn't give a toss where Todd goes to be honest. He's off our wage bill for three months which is nice. I think he'll do a good job there." "I`d be more upset if one of our ball boys went to Burnley. As for Todd, good riddance. Certainly was never a Rover." "For what its worth, Todd and Burnley deserve each other. I always felt it was an accute embarassment to have a player with Todd's "record" at Ewood." Now i'm not putting names to quotes as that's not my game, although a couple are corkers. However doesn't it show how fickle football in general can be. My own opinion hasn't changed and I do think it is a shame but no loss. If we get no money I feel it is a mistake but we don't know for definite that he has been released do we. Has anyone told you that you'd make a good lawyer??

This is the last straw for me really, I want Souness gone
-
I don't think Mahon was free Yes he would, but football isn't the real world. Nowhere else would a boss have such a tyrannical rule with the freedom to have public falling outs with a good percentage of his employees. In Todd's case especially it's just Souness' ego that has caused the problem - telling Todd (arguably the player of the season) to sit on the bench because his favourite has come back from injury (Amo) is ridiculous. Todd was childish in his refusal to sit on the bench, but you can see where he's coming from. Don't give me the whole "Well Graeme was justified by the results" because he wasn't - he played so defensive (and Amo still managed to look like a schoolboy at times) that it covered the defensive frailties we've had all season. He!l even Babbel looked good in the current system we're playing

according to teletext he has been released with immediate effect reports say he had "showdown" talks and was told that was it and he was not getting his place back and could leave for free! so basically released but we pay his wages til he finds a new club! Great job Graeme

according to teletext he has been released with immediate effect Utter b******t from Souness then

For me Smith isn't being loyal. He's jumping ship. Sure he's gutted they've gone down, but a TRUE fan would stay and help him team back up- sod the international career. If you were a Rovers fan playing for the team and got relegated would you stay or go? I'd stay, and I'd be surprised if most fans wouldn't agree with me. There is no loyalty in football anymore- only the supporters. Horrible reasoning - he's 23, so he has a few years till he comes into his prime. There's no way he should spend the next two years struggling in a cloggers league because he's a fan. A professional career is much too short for that kind of loyalty. -
I've always thought Stan was a good manager, Burnley don't know what they're doing!

It's not all about looks, I'd love to have Strachan's wit! -

I know Bolton are sh!t, but there's no need to cry just because you've wearing their shirt Oh and Jansen should be added to the list -
Once you're not picky Isn't that the truth!

Exiled_Rover replied to NEARREY's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
Frightening isn't it..really drives home the almost impossible task our club faces off the field of play. It's expected really, we simply don't have a big catchment area As for impossible, well it depends what you're aiming at. City are in a mess financially despite having access to all that money, we're in relative control. I think to keep us financially safe we must lower our expectations - mid table mediocracy will do me thankyou very much. -

I smelt trouble at the Bridge months ago We don't have much hope in getting any of those fringe players btw On a side note, Tottenham must be p*ssed, Chelsea have taken their mantle as the team linked to everybody (though they actually come through ) -
You might want to add a complete lack of tactical nouse to that list As for Gresko, well he's been frozen out because he didn't play well as, basically, a left wingback - which is understandable. If he had been given the cover Gray has been afforded by Douglas then we'd be singing the praises of Gresko this year

Is that because it'd attract media attention? Sorry but I don't want to pay a guy £40k a week easy when he's been past it for two years. We loaned another bloke on name alone and look how sh!te he was
