Who is in the wrong?

[latviandream]

Assuming Adam Blackmore's information is correct (summarised by DTLW below), who's behaviour do you feel is more out of order? Lallana or The Board?

Adam Blackmore on the current Lallana situation:

"#saintsfc believe they have more clout to block Lallana move for now because other clubs interested BUT yesterday relationship between Adam Lallana & club worsened after a number of his calls to #saintsfc board members were ignored. He wants chance to play Champs League football like anyone would & is ambitious, which he's stated previously & he feels #saintsfc could/should be more sympathetic toward his stated aim to go to #lfc after years of loyal service to #saintsfc & believes he's not been dealt with correctly by those above him, given his loyalty over the years to #saintsfc.

So if any move does not happen & Lallana stays at #saintsfc then there will be some serious bridge-building needed between player & Reed/Krueger. Now I'm not saying who is right or wrong - I see where both camps are coming from, but I do believe if I was club captain I'd expect to have my calls answered and that maybe board could have managed this situation better. Having said that, they want best deal for club & don't want to be seen to be a soft target for other clubs & want money that they see makes any sale worthwhile - but at the moment there is a problem which will only be sorted out with better communication all-round . Hope that fills you in as to really what has gone on last 2 days, goodnight"

The agent.

The agent.

Touche SF4L!

Where's the option for both?


Although with the fact he should be preparing for the biggest tournament in world football rather than pestering the board right now, I'll say Lallana.

Could have put that as an option DTLW, but felt it was too easy a kop out and would have won in a landslide. More interested to see which is felt to be worse out of the two in this far from ideal mess.

Exactly. Though, again, he may be concentrating and it may be the agent making all the calls and causing the ****. The agent who will get a LOT of money out of this deal...

Does it matter? We can't affect what is going on between them.

Isn't this the exact distraction Hodgson specifically mentioned wanting to avoid? I bet he does nothing.

No wait, that's wrong. I bet he calls SFC himself and tells them to accept the transfer already so Lallana can concentrate on his football.

tbf, if lallana and his agent are working with liverpool to push a transfer through, I think the club are doing the right thing by sticking to a valuation and minimising communication.

i'm more disgusted with the way liverpool do their business. bully boys.

and I misclicked and voted the wrong way.

Used my vote to counteract that for you mate.

 

[Dohnut]

Maybe he should have thought it all through before he signed the contract? That's what contracts are for isn't it?

 

[Piebacca]

He's acting like a tit right now. If he doesn't get his move, then he's just going to have to get over it and do the job he agreed to do.

 

[Archers Road]

Where is the option for "**** off Blackmore you tit"?

Well lots of people have given the board stick for not actin strong enough. Well done to the board. Adam, cut the crap and get on with it. You're a hero at the moment, but one petulant signature away from being no better than most the rest and a spoiled child. You signed your contract 12 months ago.... If you wanted champions league, you should have far more confidence in your ability.

I can't accept any crap about we should show him more respect. I back the board here.

For agent, read Lallana. If he is not behaving in a representative way if Adam's wishes, then we'll here soon that Adam has sacked him. Sorry Adam, you made your bed quite recently, time to lie in it.

If he does that, next time he wants to come and watch our stars, tell him to bugger off and they are all French.

Not enough details to say really. The tweet says his phone calls were ignored. If we're to understand that means the Southampton board just refused to pick up the phone to talk with him then that's a bit childish and weird. If they 'ignored him' by not giving him any info and telling him to focus on the national team then he really needs to suck it up.

Yep. With you all the way on that. Time for board to show some balls.

Why are any of us taking notice of Adam ruddy Blackmore.
