Summer Transfer Rumour Thread.

We had 2 in two days in france so anything possible. Also what we dont know is.... if said player comes for talks, he asks us for £50k a week... we dont get to see that. Its one thing agreeing a deal with a club but another altogether agreeing with the player. especially with some "go bust attitude" clubs out there.....

 

This!! Ignore these crap rumours.

 

I remember that Cortese said some time ago (probably after Pardew left) that all the managers in different departments (including the first team manager) were ranked the same and all reported to him. I believe he was talking specifically about the head of the academy. This goes against old school management where head of academy would report to the first team manager (may be partly what Pardew couldn't stomach). It makes sense that Nigel concentrates on first team achievement, but may frustrate him that he isn't as involved as he might be at another club. All guesswork though.

 

Also where did adkins say these things ? and dont tell me someone on twitter said he heard him say it...... LOL

 

On BBC Radio Solent in an interview with Adam Blackmore.

 

Jesus can we all get a grip. There are two sentences taken from an interview neither of which indicate anything . Solent journo is just putting his own spin on. We need to get used to the fact that now we are nback in PL we are bigger news and the vultures will always be looking for a story. Just ignore!

 

What else is there to talk about? I don't think Blackmore is trying to make Cortese look bad, or putting spin on it. He's just saying it as he calls it. He's been around SFC for a long time and I think he would know what he is talking about. Although I don't agree with believing everything you are told, certain people sticking their head in the sand going "we're PL now it will happen LA LA LA" is just as ridiculous.

 

He really isn't, it's fans that are taking this rumour and blowing it up. Blackmore has explicitly said he doesn't think Cortese is unhappy with Adkins.

 

Mitch Le Tissier revealed it all

 

What else is there to talk about - Fair point.

Sticking my head in the sand - I'm not I just don't want people to blow this up out of all proportion. In any big business your management team are not best friends every day of the week,. That does not mean they can't be a success. Sometimes a bit of conflict is a benefit.

 

I know what we haven't signed anyone for a few days, that's put two and two together and make 8.
Then the fact everyone knows Cortese is outspoken and speaks his mind, that's add a random comment from a random person to back it up.

Yeah that will make some people talk about it.

Blackmore is a journo end of the day, it's his job to make up or put a play on words.

This is the problem with sites like Twitter journos only had the newspaper to fill their ego. Now they can do it everyday and get mugs to believe their every word.

 

Yep. Nothing to see here for now, move on.

 

So a part of Blackmore's story is saying that Adkins and Cortese may not be seeing each other quite eye-to-eye, because of the large pressure that comes with the job.

Is that not normal? If they weren't feeling any pressure going into this season, I would probably be more worried than I am with these rumours. The pressure to stay in the league will be massive, so it is only natural that tensions may be slightly higher between NA and NC.

 

The whole NC and NA story is such a "non-story". Its the same situation at many other clubs, its just there is nothing else for the journalists to report on at this moment.

 

Moving on from all this NC, NA malarkey....

Robbie Savage predicts the Premier League table to look like this come May:



Twat lol

 

He can be the new Lawro, I don't mind, already consider him a bit of a prat.

 

It's the same every year - everyone thinks the newly promoted teams are going straight back down, and they are mostly wrong. QPR 9th? Is he serious? Wigan 13th?

 

QPR are my tip to be the smaller club who do well this year.

Personally think the 3 to go down will be Norwich, West Brom and Swansea/Stoke

 

Nothing to worry about between NA and NC I don't think. I'm concerned with the lack of signings though, I'm not in full scale panic mode like others but the defence is the weakest part of our team IMO and we need to strengthen and although the transfer window is open longer, I would like signings before the season starts for obvious reasons. I would like to think we could proceed with signings without NC present as well..

 

QPR 9th? How the holy **** did he work that out?
