    Something no one has mention yet.

    Anyone know what the apparent 2 week fine is all about?

    Maybe a year ago he thought the club was moving in the right direction but recently with manager going etc. he thinks you're going backwards?

    That's not fact, before I get jumped!

    Didn't he used to be one of the mouthpieces i.e. Jeromy Wilson. I know we did a doc for American TV once upon a time.

    He still has 5 years on his contract. And if you believe the words of the request very little has changed in his position other than he is being fined

    It wasn't bait though, my second line shows that.

    I have a feeling if I bait this board I'd be banned before I got home tonight!

    Yeah to be fair it's a possibility.

    Don't think it's the real reason though. Even if we were spending 100 million plus this summer he'd stil want to move.

    To be honest this was getting to the point where I wanted it sorted asap. Just get rid Saints and reinvest. Hope he goes to Chelsea. Him not going to Liverpool would be brilliant. Nasty, vile and full of ****s club.

    What we ought to do is have private agreement with say, Swansea, to accept a £100m offer for him. When he declines to talk to the club we have a valuation for Chelsea of Man City to match.

    Now that the dust is settling, I think I have to respect VVD's wish to play somewhere else. We just have to learn from this and if we give someone a pay rise and a six year contract, there should be a clause to repay the new salary if they then leave before 1/3rd of the contract has run.

    Once again, in from a long day at work, but what a difference today is..........loads of crap has hit the fan! <yikes>
    And about time. Well done SFC for fining this greedy egotistical human two weeks wages when he has been taking the piss for months!
    Seemingly having money taken from him has forced him into the official request, again, well done SFC.
    As toxic as this situation is, we must not allow him to leave for a cut price deal, or it shows a path to others with a similar terrible attitude.
    Now is the time to stay strong.
    Lets see if anyone is willing to put their money where their mouth is.
    Proud of my club today. uts

    I already have. I come on here because it is a saints board and not quite as melodramatic as the other one. Sadly access is allowed to other fans at will

    Although I will say this thread has got a little confusing now!
