Elmo doing the (later than normal) presser with Mick today. please log in to view this image Robertson has now trained for two days without any problem and is contention for tomorrow. “Andy Robertson has trained two days this week. He's available. Whether we start with him, we'll decide later.” On Jay Rodriguez: - "He's getting sporadic games at Southampton. He's one of a few who could interest us." "We are interested in a couple. "People like Jay are getting sporadic games at their clubs but there are others. "We have to get the right ones." "We’ve lost Will (Keane). "We have Diomande back now. Mbokani will possibly will lose because of the Africa Cup of Nations. "You don’t win matches without scoring goals and strikers are the main ones do that." On empty seats - "We are in the big league, I would have thought that was a nice incentive. "But they have their reasons and I can’t influence that. "All I can ask for is full backing from those who do come. "We’ve had no real issue with that. No one want to see empty seats. "Perhaps we need to do more to encourage people to come back."
I got a momentary shock there, looked at it without my glasses and thought it said Ehab doing the presser, then I put my glasses on....
I'm off for lunch, so someone else can add anything interesting that Elmo says. He rarely says anything interesting anyway.
Good to see the empty seats issue getting another mention. That's why staying away has some sort of impact in the PL especially, the media are forced into talking about it. People need to be aware of the mess this club is in, we're not 'tinpot' as all these bellends from other clubs gleefully call us, we're simply staying away because of the colossal **** that's in charge. Regadless if the Allams care or not the empty seats reflect terribly on them as owners.
"Perhaps we need to do more to encourage people to come back." Understatement of the week Mick, as you well know. But in fairness it should be your tosspot of a boss that should be fielding these questions
There is in the restaurant, but I don't think there is at the normal food section in the bar. I'm not all that sure though, I no longer buy anything outside of my pass.
