The apology means nothing unless he stays this season. If we now sell him, he might as well have said nothing. Actions not words.

At Anfield Klopp and FSG say Countinho's not for sale..........but he's not available this weekend or for next week's CL qualifier because he's got a back ache.............

Hmmmm?
Coutinho's just handed in a transfer request! <laugh> Not injured at all, apparently. Refused to play.

I'm not going to mock them for that as it is just another ****ty footballer sticking his fingers up at their club. He signed a 5 year contract at the end of 2016/January 2017(?) worth allegedly £150,000 a week. While I can appreciate the opportunity to play for Barcelona does not come along too often (something Rose cannot claim as mitigating circumstances) then why sign a 5 year contract if you know you are going to turn your back on it by refusing to play at the first hint of a move away? No respect for fans or clubs in the modern game.
 
You think so P?

i get the feeling a few players would back him, i hope you are right though
I suspect that a lot of the players probably have some sympathy for the money issue, but not how he went about it.
They've been backing the club and playing regularly. He's been out and then undermines the whole thing with this?
Can't see that going down well with a lot of people, especially the fringe players that he basically wrote off.
 
Hence I brought up Kimmich, who the last time I checked didn't go running to Bild to say he deserves more than €10,000 a week in spite of being a full international playing for one of Europe's elite clubs who already has a pretty good medal collection at the age of 22.

Also, as I said last season when the hacks were repeating the mantra "But Leicester pay one-season wonder Jamie Vardy £100k a week"...so what? Why should one club base their pay structure on anothers? Why would any club be that short-sighted? And, more importantly, where does it stop? Are they saying that, if Colchester want to keep their best players, they should pay them in line with what Stoke pay theirs?

Somehow something so easy to understand keeps going over the head of one poster whose sole "point" in this thread is that he is capable of using the correct account...but only after having it pointed out to them they were using the wrong one.
Are you talking to cini65 or me?

Best public reaction. Doesn't commit us to any action and doesn't devalue the player.

Edit: And a bit more:

Full conference will probably be up soon. I'll add it to the match thread when it's available.

So naturally the Standard weighed in by adding Chelsea to the list of clubs who can double his wages.

There's no conflict of interest there, of course, as it's not as if their editor is a Chelsea fan...

**** me...didn't realise the greedy **** was spineless too!


...but not entirely brainless. An early apology - specifically prior to Poch's maiden conference of the season - was crucial in order to prevent this from snowballing out of control. The Sun and other rags were already busy this morning printing tripe about a queue of players planning to burgle Levy's house and steal their 'true worth' in cash. Player and manager have both said that the case is closed. It obviously isn't but hopefully we will at least get 2 weeks' respite so that we can actually focus on the season and sign some bloody players.
 
It reminds me of the Australian wedding that went wrong.

They lost the beer and the Best Man was caught ****ing the bride.

Mayhem ensued but at the last gasp when everyone thought it was game over the Groom jumped onto an empty beer crate:

OK folks wedding's back on, we found the beer, yeah! oh and the Best Man has apologised.

The Scum was reporting he got a "heroes welcome" in the dressing yesterday from the rest of the squad...Don't know what's worse, his greed or the stench of their bullshit
This is Murdoch's stench all over...Promoting extreme capitalist values? Spurs being vilified for having a wage cap, generally running a tight business and not buying over priced players in spite of being demonstrably better on the pitch than most over the last 2 seasons is plain weird. Like we're some commie organisation promoting 'anti-western' values. **** them and their phone hacking, victim blaming, passive racist ****. It's been in such poor taste from Rose but Poch has handled it like a boss!
 
Are we sure that fine is big enough for a man of his worth.

Quick! Get Simon Cowell on the phone to organise a charity single. Start the JustGiving page. Get the Chuggers out (oo-er!) for poor little Danny. Get the survivors of Grenfell to do a whip round for this poor little soul! How will he manage when he is down to his last few million? [HASHTAG]#PrayforDanny[/HASHTAG]

He's already been fined two weeks wages ...
I'm guessing that his hero's welcome wasn't exactly as reported.

It was exactly as reported. I am ITK, and here is what happened ...

Unknown to the club, some of the players have been engaged
in serious gambling. Apparently Rose told them a few days ago
about The Sun interview and publication date, so they went and
bet one week wages on the number of weeks wages that Rose
would be subsequently fined.

If you want to know which players got the number correct,
look at which of them in the "welcome" are cheering most.
