What's the concrete evidence it's Rose? Is it looking super likely?
It was always gonna be a huge ask to win trophies in an era of financial doping (and possible one season wonder 'ahem' doping).
I can live with that. I grew up with this team through the 90's, and going to school miserable because of another shite performance.
I can't live with players not wanting to play for the club. I said a few years ago give me a team that plays for the club and I'll be happy. If they want to go, if not mortgaging the future on players that the artificially wealthy clubs don't want is a lack of ambition then leave.
My ambition is for a young team that wins and losses together. Not a band of mercenaries.
That's nice , l also believed in fairies once .My ambition is for a young team that wins and losses together. Not a band of mercenaries.
What a remarkably astute comment. You must be quite the stand up with that level of wit.That's nice , l also believed in fairies once .
Rose is an excellent player who literally has bled for the shirt many times.Absolutely.
You're more likely to win players with average guys who'll bleed for the shirt, than excellent players who don't want to be there
The key thing that needs to be found out is WHEN he said this. If this was said at the time when he was in the BBC radio studio of Five Live then I don't have too much of an issue with it. As you say it's The Sun, they could have held on to this and chose to release it now??? If it's from an interview in past 48hrs then he's fucked. So I'm going to hold on to my shit before this is revealed. (Didn't he only come out with quotes a day or so ago stating how happy he was???).I'll wait to see what the actual interview reveals but going to a fucking rag like the Sun with this is a kick in the teeth to pretty much everyone he works with, it's a breaking of trust. You handle things amongst yourselves. If I was Poch I'd want to throttle him.
Its such a shame , the feel good factor of an excellent season last year and all the optimism that comes with it has just been slowly and painfully eroded awayI'm gonna go to bed this summer has just been shit
