I know you're a ****, but this is nonsense even by your standards. AP confirmed when asked that an offer had been made for Stewart but thatr he suspected it was more of a pisstake than an actual offer. He confirmed that it was £1m which is indeed a pisstake. The interviewer suggested we wouldn't want to do business with Leicester and he simply said 'It's not going to happen'. Is refusing to send our best players to weaker teams is bad for our financial future? I think what you actually mean is that you wish big clubs would hand you their best players nd you're going to throw a typical Leicester hissy fit if it doesn't go your way. Stewart's going nowhere, dry your eyes and go after some other average winger to give £30k a week. What worries me is that you genuinely believe that. You lot have been all over our boards (and others) telling us and everyone about how much money you have and how certain your storming of the league is. Then when it didn't happen you all still didn't go away because you were still so much bigger and better than us desspite what the table said, then we gave you a kicking at the KC and you still didn't go away, you just carried on telling us how many you were going to beat us by at the KP. FFS how can you actually suggest we try and wind you lot up? Oh and the 'worm' isn't turning at all. You've won 1 in 6. Come see me when you're promotion contenders. I can't believe this though. NP is desperate to try and get one over on us, that much is clear from the insulting bid on the day the window opens. He couldn't wait to make that phone call. We tell him to get ****ed because he has done enough to try and derail our season and he throws a hissy fit. What was the problem with that AP said? He said the offer was enough to buy Stewart's left foot, only Burnsy suggested we wouldn't do business with Leicester. But even if he did say that, what's the problem? Does he think he has a right to our players or something? Do we have an obligation to accept derisory offers for top players? What a massive bellend.
I think Adam Pearson doesnt want to do business with Leicester so the only way they can get to us is by unsettling our players
Our owners have actually got more money than Leicester's Thai owners, just we don't go bragging about the fact we have money and don't spend millions on one player
I had a thought last night, Stewart plus his former Man Utd team mates were brought up with the SAF philosophy in footballing matters - which seems to be that football is more important than getting more wages (quote a few weeks ago regarding player which may leave Man Utd). If the players believe in this philosophy then can we believe they would not leave a club where they know and are on a decent wage and are performing well and they know the fans appreciate them.
Give us £3m and you can have his jock strap for the rest of the season, it may not be much but it would be more than you have.
if the money's right, it will happen. and good luck to you sorting out the 'time bomb' which will is developing on salaries! fancy a pop at bullard. he'd fit right into your wage structure and style of player
Will be interesting to see how serious Leicester are over the next couple of weeks! How much do we think they are going to hav to pay (if Leicester are serious)?
i am sure leicester are serious but i think there will be better value for money in the market, bearing in mind the price we will slap on his head? £3 to £5 million perhaps?
I was thinking 3.5million but it depends when they bid because I don't think we would let him go without having a replacement in house
Who needs sleeping tablets or a mug of hot cocoa when there are all these threads on our forum from Lâ¬$$ta fans? Obsessed is not the word. I think they are all lacking girlfriends down in the midlands. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. Boring. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
There is a CONSTANT presence from Hull fans on our boards. CONSTANT. Except when we win and you lose of course. Pearson, like most managers, wants to bid on players he had at his former club. This is natural and normal, yet Adam Pearson and the Hull fans think this is somehow outrageous. The bid may be a little below Stewart's real value, but Pearson is obviously keen to show to our board he's not going to hand out money like Sven did. Regarding my warning about Adam Pearson, it amazes me that someone who is apparently a good business man could act so unprofessionally on a radio station. He strikes me as a man of impulse. And cutting off ties to any potential trade partner is very bizarre behaviour. He's acting like this is a personal situation. It's just business. Out of interest, was Pearson involved in the signing of Bullard?
There was as many of us on there yesterday as there's ever been and in case you didn't notice, you won and we lost, we don't hide(we also have several times as many posters). I think you're reading way too much into AP's comments, they were light hearted remarks on our local radio station, tinged with a little mockery due to the piss poor nature of the bid. Pearson is a brilliant man to have in charge, as good as any in any league and if he was in charge for the Bullard deal, there wouldn't have been a Bullard deal.
Of course a manager is allowed to enquire/sign players from their previous club. Phil Brown signed one from us but at the market rate. Like Leicester sold us some players at market rate. Cameron Stewart is worth more than 1 million, and if he does leave we will see what that market rate for a young english winger is BUT HE HAS NOT HANDED IN A TRANSFER REQUEST (as of 15.16 on the 3rd of Jan) - so why should we hand him over.
Hobbs. Fryatt weren't wanted by Leicester and there's the difference- we want to keep them, they were deemed surplus to requirements by Sven. I don't see their argument, basically we got their scraps and they turned out half decent for us and now they want our best larkers. It's a massive difference. Of course we'll not be happy if Stewart or Chester, or both, go to Leicester. We'll have a massive hole in the team, whereas you had a number of decent championship players in the team ahead of the likes of Hobbs and Fryatt. I'm not using Waghorn, as an example, because he's just on loan.
I don't know whether Lesta Gangsta actually heard the Adam Pearson comments either as an excerpt or as part of the complete interview. As usual, AP gave clear and well measured answers to the interviewer - his response to the question about Leicester's bid for Cameron Stewart was delivered with a degree of levity and no suggestion of venom or nastiness. Nigel Pearson's response was more overtly (and unnecessarily) aggressive and I wondered whether he'd actually heard the original interview or was basing his comments on a written transcript or second hand report.
I heard the whole of Adam Pearson's response to the question about the bid from us. There was CLEARLY venom and resentment in Adam Pearson's and the interviewer's tone. They certainly were not "lighthearted". Nige's response was made without hearing the comments from AP and after prompting from our local radio journo, who can be a ****-stirring little so-and-so at times. In fact, Nige fell out with him and refused to speak to him during his last stint, resulting in the reporter being pulled off the air for a few weeks. And too much is being made of the low bid. OK, Stewart may be worth double what we offered, but I think it is more about showing our board that Nige will not waste money like Sven did. And I don't think it will unsettle Stewart. Nige will already have spoken to the Hull players before he left and knows which ones would likely follow him, so I would think Stewart has already thought about the move.
