Pritchard

Great post if you don't mind me saying.

 

I have never defended a player who refused to play. He let his teammates down, badly. I support young players at all times, Pritch was meant to be a leader. He failed his leadership role. It was poor in the very least on his part. He has gone, and wont be remembered fondly by me. Let me tell you, as a coach if a player makes themselves unavialable it is a massive gut punch. Horrendous. He was a good player for us, his legacy though is ruined.

 

I don't care about other clubs. I care about us. I know about us. That's it. Been dragged into this again.

Jesus man.

I said he wouldnt play on the day due to his contract - didn't.

I said he wouldn't be fined - didn't

I said he would be allowed to leave with no fuss and minimal fee - was

I said players would massively miss him - they have and posted

I said he would get a better deal and move on - he has

Waste of my energy this thread.

It's ok. The club did not perform well here. Calm down.

 

He was told not to play. That's it. Say no more.

 

Pritchard has previous. Has anyone said why the club withdrew the offer of a new contract.

 

I expect to see him take the club to court then for suggesting he refused to play.

 

Never mind anything you say mate. Or anyone else. I love all opinions on here. If we all agreed this place would die a death.

 

Or he left with no fuss and tripled his wages.

 

i don't think he has been best advised, but he should not have downed tools. that is bad advice.

 

Fair enough. I have no inside track.

The king is dead, long live the king. Rigg will make Pritchard look like a league one player in my opinion. They boy needs to be given the space.

 

Look folk arent going to agree on who is in the wrong here - all hear say as to what has happened

What i would say it was probably a win win for all. Pritchard got his longer term deal he wanted and we move on from a player that wasnt in long term plans (we will miss him at times this season tho)

 

Bob mate you know man. It's bloody semantics

 

Spot on. Wonder how he’s coping without his sexy massage from those that haven’t stopped talking about him for the last month. He’s a largely warm, rarely hot, sometimes cold player. Occasionally looked a threat, made other players tick but rarely created goal scoring chances. Totally exaggerated how good he was so he can be used as a stick to beat the club and Beale with.

 

You say you don't care about other clubs, yet I'm sure you've referred to other clubs in your belittling of Beale....

Still can't believe this is still rumbling on lol

 

Aye true. Look it's done.

Time to move on

 

He downed tools when he had the great chance to play for the lads, very unprofessional
He can go to hell

 

If they really tripled his wages they are absolute mugs tbf.

 

It's not at all clear.

I asked you to clarify and you accused me of playing detective and that I go go through all the threads to work it out.

You claimed you didn't have time to simply say what had happened yet here you are again playing word games with Bob. I believe you've heard gossip from Mowbray, Pritchard or someone but the story, and timeline, about this mystery contract don't make sense.

Whatever happened Pritchard has had Birmingham's pants down, they seem like a club in a big mess tbh.

He's an ageing injury-prone player who can barely last a full game. He'll have no resale value yet has managed to land a well paid two and a half year deal during which he'll never manage a full season ...

... if I was a Birmingham fan I'd be thinking there's some serious nepotism going on with Uncle Tony.

Makes you wonder how pally Mowbray is with his agent.

 

Rigg needs game time

 

Not long back it was Speakman reneged on his contract, yesterday it was O9 was out injured, make your own minds up.
