    That would be the professional response, yes.

    Just been sent this don’t know how true it is obvs.


    There’s probably no truth in this but suppose we’ll find out when the team is announced tonight: Have a read

    Bare with me as this is long there’s a lot happening at club as we speak. It all started a few weeks ago when Patterson wanted to be a witness in court for his mate but club refused. He was unhappy and had a bit of a disagreement then.
    At half time In Newcastle game Beale and Dodds had a go at him for not doing what was asked then afterwards he had a go blaming them for the goal conceded because of there tactics. Apparently they nearly came to blows.
    It all came to a head this week. Diamond was playing in a game with first team when he was knocked unconscious and Patterson kicked ball out. Apparently Beale went off it with him as should have played on Patterson walked off pitch and went home.
    Tuesday his agent contacted club stating his player wished to leave and several clubs interested. Club were furious and told Patterson not to return until further notice. They had since been a meeting in which he has expressed his desire to leave and will leave club if not Jan then definitely in summer.
    Players have held meeting with KLD and Speakman about Beale and Dodds coaching and training methods. Apparently a lot of unhappy players and most feel club is an unhappy place
    A few other things said too about Pritchard going off it with some young players. Rusyn is really struggling as no English and club refusing translator and he has asked to leave too. It is that bad Burstow has begged Chelsea to get him return but they don’t want him back due to tight wages etc and can’t go back out on loan. It seems like club is in total disarray

    Not sure how true all that will be but the big issue i have is i dont think theres any leaders in that coaching setup

    Need a leader to set an example but we dont seem to have that with beale, dodds n proctor

    Can’t see that being true with Patto. Was a bizarre scenario at the end of the game last night, though. Pritch apologising to the fans, could almost see in his face his disbelief at it all. Beale should never have been appointed and the sooner he leaves, the better.

    In all walks of life it’s advisable to “read the room”
    Speakman had the opportunity to do just that when rumblings about Beale coming in started circulating, any sane man would have seen the reaction and thought twice, either ego or pigheaded ignorance kicked in and he done it anyway. He’s done a great job up until the summer transfer window but he’s let us down since then, he has enough in the bank for me to be given a chance to turn things around but it’s a long way back from this. I don’t think he will sack him, I do think he will give him some more players but if they are kids then his time is up.

    Is it really that far fetched mate. Like it or not, these sovereign countries are getting into football. More clubs will be bought, neighbouring country to Saudi fancy getting in on the act, buy the rival club of Saudi, not saying it'll happen like........

    just to add this this is just what i was told at the match a couple of weeks offer on table for 130m for full club, All depends if KLd wants to sell but it's the price the would be happy with,

    biggest reason flag display was pulled,

    i didn't think much of it but club is giving me massive vibes that something is in it at moment
