Bullard

[bum_chinned_crab]

The worst thing for me in it all is he continuosly plays clubs like a professional fiddler and gets away with it. He clearly has the talent - as demonstrated at Ipswich last season when he HAD to turn it on to get a contract - but literally as soon as he gets that contract he stops playing. The same will happen again now, he'll be sackd by Ipswich, go on telly (Soccer AM) talking about how all he wants to do is play and he loves football, get a short-term deal, play a blinder, sign a hefty contract, stop playing. Repeat ad nauseum.

The man is disgusting.

The thing is if he is let go by Ispwich no other club will want to touch him with a barge-pole (as every club must be checking on the background of a player before he is signed). Perhaps he or his "advisers" need to get him to admit he HAS got a problem and get help with it because otherwise he will just be throwing his life away with his alcohol problem. (We all know he will be living in squalor in a less than exclusive area of a town just using his money to fund booze).

 

[Horsham_Tiger]

He won't live in squalor: he's earned enough to be able to booze away for life in glorious splendour.

 

[charles stokell]

also wondering if he's got a serious booze issue now..

I think you might be right and he needs help. Reading about Tony Adams and Paul Merson it seems its quite common in football and they can get help with their booze problems if they want to.

He's had his day now - how old his he 32? He knows it and is prepared to toss it off.
Hope Ipswich sack him like we did and he'll be well and truly fooked.

Bullard looked a decent person at first, always having a bit of a laugh and a joke and a decent player aswell. I think after you paid all that money he developed an ego because since then his career really has gone downhill

I think he will be at Doncaster before long

It was absolutely nothing to do with him signing for us, all the things we warned the Ipswich fans about were exactly the same things the Fulham fans warned us about.

He's a pisshead waster, he was before he joined us, he was while he was with us and self evidently still is.

 

[tiger_intheknow]

Here we go again, Bullard showing his true colours. The bloke had talent and it's a shame to see him throwing it away like he has. It shows we're better off without him, christ knows what things would be like if he was still around and he's hardly done his defense any good if he wants to win his appeal against us.

A bit late for that Manuel!

The case was settled out of court. The figure agreed was very favourable for the club.

Bullard however didnt know the difference between gross pay and net pay, so when he found out what he actually would get he wasnt happy. However he had already settlled!!

Hah!

He will wind up some sort of long haired Gazza! Always drunk and washed up and seen in bars/clubs/crackdens off his pickle.

Isn't he a bit old for night clubs?

Particularly when he has a well paid job requireing him to act responsibly?

Sad really.

 

[DJBlackandamberarmy(No4)]

solano involved, maybe it was him, his influence all along!!

 

[TONY_WARNERS_FACE.]

And there will still be some (TWF?) who slate Nigel for his handling of the situation. His finest hour for me.

I still do, more AP the season before though, oh and Barmby's egotistical assault that should have seen him sacked.

I do worry about Jimmy's mental state though, we're reading more and more about depression in football. From the outside looking in this looks like a textbook case. He was on the verge of England when he signed for us, and now he's an Ipswich reserve player, something somewhere went horribly wrong and it's far too simplistic to say "He drinks a lot".

I'll hold you to your name, do you know something we don't?

 

[DJBlackandamberarmy(No4)]

how come chopra isnt suspended? bullard will be shouting discrimination soon

Unless they took a blood sample when he arrived at training late on the Thursday, in which case he'll be signing on.

 

[tiger_intheknow]

I'll hold you to your name, do you know something we don't?

Yes it is the truth.

My source is from inside the club at the highest level.

The settlement was 3 weeks ago.

Bull5hit police here. Either produce your evidence or pay the fine for talking bollocks.

I dont have to prove anything.

If you think it is bollocks - then fine.

It isnt written down anywhere, it is a verbal discussion.

I agree, it is way too simple to say,
"He drinks a lot".

It's more of a case of,
"He drinks a lot and is a complete arse wiping, frizzy haired, cockney wide boy, bell end of a bloke".

I could go on.

Not sure I believe that to be honest. Any settlement of a dispute is recorded in writing so it can be enforced if one party doesn't comply with it

So what you're trying to say is: signing for hull city ruined bullards career.
