Shane Long - anybody think he's been shafted by WBA ? I bet he does. Bet his wife does. He's been exceptionally diplomatic in all of this. Why.....he wants a good income to provide for his family. Let's get the most out of our next move....it's a short career. Milk it (agents advice ), let the wife stir things up a bit to maximize potential salary. Hull wanted & still want us. A few mates there. Hull wants us. Squeeze the bastards....no loyalty in this business, take it while we can. Hey, there's a few mates over there. Bottom line...is he what we (HUFC) need ?
I'm not saying the point about my family equates exactly to his. It was a general point that although parents have to look after their kids they sometimes have to take a long term view and the kids have to fit in with that. A footballer's lifestyle inevitably involves a lot of relocation and apart from the fact they aren't guaranteed more than another 6 months at WBA. you would have thought she would have accepted the lifestyle she married into.
No it's probably just me. To tell the truth I'm getting a bit sick of strikers failing medicals, going out for lunch or blaming the kids.
I agree, one would hope that she would have accepted it. Her tweets imply that she hasnt. From my experience which may be different than yours. Everyone I knew growing up had their parents divorce because they could not deal with the life they had chosen. Most ended up divorced multiple times. My parents were the only adults growing up in Europe or after that had my parents situation that I know of that stayed together. Really the only reason mine stayed together was for their kids. Moving kids all the time causes strain and no one I knew accepted the lifestyle that they married into. Its easier probably for footballers wives to accept it but from my experience its silly to think that it is that simple. Not sure if you experience was similar to mine.
HUFC certainly suggests I may be......typo...but no. Just amazed at all the crap on here implying the impact of his wife's influence.
it's called "Having your cake and eating it" she wants the money of a footballers WAG yet she wants the stability of a normal life, now we all know that earning 15/20K/week is not normal.
I think it's different these days with so many methods of communication etc. We had to make do with a long distance phone call back to England every Christmas. The stress thing is true, but I don't think that's because of kids. Me and my brother and sister adapted quickly to every new place we went. It was my mother who got incredibly homesick. You can't really generalise. All I know is that a fair few families that emigrate eventually come back.
Yea back on like page 1 or something. She was talking on twitter to her friends about why she didnt want him to move clubs. She said that they had agreed not to switch.
"suck it up princess, you knew the lifestyle you were marrying into" money OR stability......... cant have both!
Sorry Ellewoods - I don't mean is it true that it was her saying it, I meant did she mean what she said ? In other words.....?
I think she meant them as she was talking to friends of hers not random people. Its possible that she was saying it all to drive up her husbands offer but I think that isnt likely.
if she wrecks our Long chances.. I will be so pissed. He gets paid a **** load of 'inconvenience' money. if she wanted a stable life, she should have married a 9 to 5er. He can't stay at Baggies for the rest of her life, he has got to go where his job dictates.
