    Is that true? Utterly terrible behaviour. I don't understand why clubs don't have the common courtesy to inform players ahead of the media release.

    Doch tweeted "it's not how he wanted to find out" but then deleted the tweet. We did it with Huddlestone too and there was that thing about not paying youth players some monies owed last summer as well.

    You honestly think Doc didn't know? Or Cyrus, or Huddlestone for that matter?

    Do they not have agents?

    I think it is more to do with many just being diplomatic, owners can soon get pissed off if fans start criticising them, (Massive being a prime example), so I think many just say nothing or show support, as on the whole Acun has been a breath of fresh air after the Allam's.

    But you see with Liam's sacking he has a hard nose business side to him, which in business you need, yes, he doesn't get everything right, but he gets a hell of a lot more right than wrong.

    That's the point I was making, you see at clubs whereby fan start criticising the owner, and the relationship can sour very quickly. Acun has his way, TWT whether his way is the right way or not, but most back what he is doing even though privately they maybe disagree with some things he does.

    Of course he knew he hadn't been offered a new contract. All his tweet said was his first official notice was via the announcement.

    Ah, in his typical supercilious manner, he was adamant that neither of those two teams would collapse against their opposition in the semis. They did. His statement ended up being bollocks given the actual results and the manner in which they played. :emoticon-0100-smile:emoticon-0105-wink:

    You keep playing the man rather the ball. Aren’t you a bit better than that?

    He's really not. Also not quite sure what post he's referring to. Perhaps he can quote a post where I said they wouldn't collapse. He may be referring to my response to someone that they wouldn't implode financially after this season as I certainly never commented on their second leg chances.

    I've also had him on ignore for at least 5 years and yet he still can't help himself. I wouldn't have even known he was talking about me (yet again) if not for your post prompting me to check.

    I would have thought that scoring penalties would be a plus.

    So we scored 43% of our penalties against an average of 85% converted. That's pretty poor.

    We scored 57% of our penalties, against an average of 72% scored in the Championship this season.

    We score one more penalty and we've hit the average. Small margins.
