Are you talking previously or is he still doing it now?

Don't think he's changed his ways so far
He needs to read Paul Merson's autobiography

[shmmeee]

Is he on a one or two year deal?

Get the distinct feeling he’s taking the piss and happy to run it out.

Two with one in the clubs favour.

Be surprised if he makes more than 5 starts for us in the league this season.

 

[shmmeee]

Did anyone take that bet about Bright getting more goal involvements than O’Hare?

He's going to be ahead of O'Hare in the pecking order soon, don't forget

That was his reason for not making the wolves game some said he was at the ground,he wasn’t

Eh, sure it was said he did arrive but later?

 

[larry_david]

Why wouldn't he want to get involved in a game against his former employers with crowds for the first time in two years? That's crackers

Because he clearly likes the money from being a footballer but not the job itself.

Which is incredible about his mindset.

taking fucking liberties by the sound of it...PUSB

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

To make it as a professional footballer in the first place progressing through the age groups he must have had some drive, where did it go? Too many hangers on when he got a bit of money?

Coasted on his talent most likely and probably wasn’t a big drinker with an entourage aged 11

 

[procdoc]

Day before the wolves game he was on Instagram in Westfield shopping centre,I also heard of a club source he likes to use the “death in the family” reason/excuse here and at other clubs

You haven’t got any club ‘sources’

Probably the people he’s met along the way and people he’s got around him,the club will rightly be pissed off that’s happened so early after I’m sure his attitude would of been questioned prior to his move and in his talks with robins,let’s hope he has now got it together

But better days said he heard the same

Better Days has said a lot that turned out to be wrong as well

 

[cc84cov]

Also the stuff Dawkins said regarding Craine was nonsense that we couldn’t afford him,robins feels he can get better on loan is why we didn’t sign him.

Like what ?

Is this the same source that told us Patterson had been signed.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

If that's true about Bright I find it hard to talk myself down from wanting his contract ripped up.

Let's hope it was a one off and he sorts himself out

Should ask my Mrs CC84
Or Greggs

No time for it. Hasn’t even managed one first team game yet and he should be on probation. I don’t know what you’d have to do as a footballer to get sacked though.

Surely before he signed he was given a strict rundown to watch his behaviour. Given that he was talking about focus so awkwardly in the first interview he gave, it seems to me like that probably happened.

First game: Turns up late/goes shopping/goes on the piss/makes up a story about a death in the family.


Can't say he is winning me over whatsoever.

To do it first real big game is astonishing. I'm shocked and appalled! When you employ trouble makers at work they usually wait at least a month before showing their true colours, not the first bloody week!

 

[Hobo]

The Bright signing was always one of potential...
Superb bargain
Total train crash

I hope most of these rumours are wild speculation rather than smoke from a smouldering fire?

My biggest worry is he has a negative effect on the squad and dressing room which seems to have had a tight bond in recent seasons.

Most of them probably just think he’s a clown

 

[larry_david]

It was obv from Tom Davies and Jack Grimmer that Bright was a clown but by God could he play. They sorta laughed off that he was a bit of a wally because he helped them in a game. I guess that's different to Kasta who it appears they got wound up with because he let them down time and time again. At least they know Bright can grab a game by the scruff of the neck.

Personally think Bright will work out well. It's Championship level, in front of big crowds and lots of publicity. This is probably his last chance to be someone. One solid season could get him a shot at the Prem. Take the chance young Bright, take it and shine Brightly!

Yes but a clown being paid how much?

No one knows as fact that this actually happened. It’s come from the same person that said Paterson was definitely signing and the same person that claimed that Robins had lost the dressing room and shits himself at this level. I call bullshit on this as well

It's easier to put up with his behaviour when he's clearly one of the best players in the league and winning games on his own. I doubt it'll be the same in this division, if he ever even manages to make it onto the pitch.

I cant argue with any of that and inclined to agree.

 

[NortonSkyBlue]

I don’t know if any of this gossip on here is true but surely it’s up to the manager to manage the guy and he is not known as a pushover.
