nick barns has said today the club has never tried to force him out and it's been the other way round if he's right or wrong the people who hate the club will blame club but i honestly really don't care what's happened, soon as he's refused to put the top on i want him gone
There is a lot off hot air around the Pritch situation He refused to play for us, that is a disgrace, we are well off to be shot of him We gave him a chance when his career was going nowhere
Mate with respect, if your employer offered to give you the same money 4 days after they offered better money what would you say and do. He should not have refused to play, and kept stum till Monday, if TM or his agent advised him to do this they need shafting.
**** off Pritchard just like Mowbray(who didn’t start you) we haven’t lost Gardiola and de Bruyne. And that little bastard has refused to play for the supporters he pretends to love.
The club were told of Pritchard's stance but, as he's under contract, reasonably believed he'd relent and take his place in the squad ... as he should imo. When it became clear he considered himself on strike the club had no option ... ... there's no justification for Pritchard's actions. He's behaved disgracefully to the supporters.
Definitely legal. In the old days it triggered a right to a free transfer I think. Think that’s how Stan Cummins left?
Bob with respect he’s contracted to the club until the summer he’s in contract negotiations for a new one. Regardless of the ins and outs of those negotiations he’s downed tools and told the club to **** off. That’s unacceptable and unforgivable so sooner he’s gone the better. To many people using this weasel behaviour to have a go at the. Club only one guilty party here
Pritchard is going. If we manage to get rid of Dack too that will be a fair wedge of wages freed up for incomings.
To be fair there were certain posters who were adamant Pritch wanted away in the summer. One even sent me a pm saying he was going. Now it was always said it wasn't particularly football or the club related but to keep his Mrs happy. I'm not against that personally if it's better for his family elsewhere fair enough. But then fast forward 6 months and he has wanted to stay and the club have shafted him? Maybe somewhere between? If he was offered a 1 year deal on the same terms then fair enough from the club imo. If it was 1 year on reduced terms then that's a different matter!
The delay in releasing the information could simply be due to the club feeling there was a chance of resolving it.
To be fair mate, and don't take this the wrong way, you do have a dislike of Speakman and you clearly like Pritchard. But from what you have said if the club offered him a year on reduced terms I can see why he would be upset.
