O'Hare bids (54 Viewers)

[procdoc]

The reaction to a sale that hasn’t even happened is baffling. Its like we have never sold our best players ever before. Even the likes of Liverpool etc have had to sell their best players

The owners are not going to be ever loved by the majority, mostly down to the pretty cavalier attitude towards what owning a club meant when they 1st came in. And what it does to a community if you disregard its history and its importance to the area. In my mind they are tolerated and in some cases even ignored by the majority, who just want to watch a good side show desire and passion to wear the shirt. While they stay quiet and allow MR to do his job most fans just want to support the players and the process set by MR.


What i do see and don't like is the fans could not have done more, they have been more faithful than any other set of supporter in the land. And if it wasn't for them i dread to think where we would be. MR has built this with his hands tied, his acceptance of restrictions i respect but the
desire to make it work while under this, is only matched by the fans desire to not let us die.

I don't expect the owners to be reckless or be in front of the fans explaining everything. But i except them to show us they have the ability and desire to support at any given time to help MR progress. Even a calculated gamble to take us to the next level if we are a league position to do so would be nice.

I just see and hear its up to the fans to push us on, the more ST sold the more MR has to spend was always spouted. Well that i haven't heard said this year. That talk has gone away, fans have broke records in ST, Jerseys and this year will be i think the highest av attendance at home since we got into the stadium. So for fans to ask we done our part, we have done what you asked, what now is a fair question to ask..

Nailed it

I think for some it's not the fact we're selling a player. I think the concern is the noises being made are MR won't see much or any of the fee. Yes, even top clubs like Liverpool sell players, but they reinvest.

Fact is we have no idea how much or little they will invest until a sale actually happens

 

[long way home]

Nobody knows what will happen, but its the lack of trust we have in our owners is evedent. And its a cap the owners wear well and have put on themselves. Most don't believe or trust that if one or two of our better players are sold the equivalent will be brought in.

Some of this is trust and some is on knowing we have to fish in a different pond now to replace. You cant use a stick and a piece of string to catch a big one anymore we are at a different depth, with many others seeking the same fish..

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Its not the same as we were selling up tbe leagues and could buy more than adequate replacements for the league we are in

McNulty was sold and we could easily by a competitive replacement in godden

Selling o hare and replacing with with a free transfer in the championship is a much harder proposition

I assume you didn't see the words 'Harder to replace then a McNulty/Walsh -yes' ?

I didn't say it was the same you spanner and agree that it would be harder.

Its 100 times harder though isn’t it as this is a strategy that doesn’t work in the championship over a sustained period

We were in the championship when we replaced Walsh with Hamer but I do agree its much harder now we are established in the championship overall

As hard as it is, it's not impossible. Does money always win? Most times, but not always.

My posts aren't a defence of the 'boardroom'.

They're a show in faith in the management team who normally have things covered. Will they get it right...maybe, maybe not.

I'm happy to sit on the side of 'maybe based on the fact of what they've done before (in easier circumstances) as they've demonstrated they know what they're doing, by and large.

More than Kenny Jackett anyway.

I’m in the wait and see camp. We might sign someone not as effective, we might find a gem that’s even better. We just don’t know

 

[Greggs]

You never know, we might have a real gem lined up for a couple of million quid. fingers crossed

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Agreed

 

[Winny the Bish]

People are acting like the scouting/analyst team that found O’Hare have absolutely no idea what he bought to the team and won’t be looking for similar attributes in his replacement. Chill out lads.

A ghettoblaster and a blue wig right?

Agreed - they do a great job. Tough ask though, O'Hare is a very unique player.

 

[alexccfc99]

We will see where we are at for this tomorrow by how much he applauds the supporters at the end of the match (presuming he is involved)

you can always tell when a player is bidding farewell

 

[Winny the Bish]

We scout all across Europe, there are plenty of teams who play pressing football. I don't have an FBRef account but I'm sure someone who does could find an AM with similar numbers to COH just from there.

On Callum O'Hare: "I'm all for transparency. I would rather not lie but these things are hard until they are done, they can still go wrong. We think he is a great player, and we think he would be great for us but is a deal done, no."

Why's the prick commenting on other people's players.

Probably trying to unsettle him and get a couple of million off the asking price.

 

[larry_david]

Exactly. Arrogance. Kompany has everything to prove at Burnley.

Someone needs to have a word with the twat. Thought there were rules in place to stop this shit.
Hope they agree a fee, and OHare tells em to f*** off

 

[Nick]

Strange, do managers often comment on other teams players like that?

The last play in the book to unsettle the player. Presumably after getting nowhere tapping up the agent and player behind the scenes or in giving us acceptable terms this is the last effort.

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

No , not proper managers anyway. Good managers always answer that question with:” I don’t comment on other teams players “.
FA should be asking him questions.

 

[Old Warwickshire lad]

Belgian twat, aint even a proper country. Whooloos and frogs. ( rant over) .

 

[skybluepm2]

not just me in thinking how utterly disrespectful that is then?! That really boils my piss.

I’m sure Robins will say something similar if/when questioned on it tomorrow evening. An unwritten rule which that boggle eyed, bowling ball headed cock has completely disregarded.

 

[procdoc]

It wreaks of desperation in my opinion. Robins should say he wants Ben Mee and Cornet even though we could never ever afford them haha

 

[Nick]

It's certainly designed to unsettle.

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Boddy will probably thank him for doing his job for him

 

[rexo87]

Every single time Robins is asked about a player he doesn't comment out of respect, even when that player us currently on loan with us (JCS, Maatsen etc). Really hope we don't sell to them and Ohare runs them ragged when we play them

This feels like one of the default answers on FM

This is blatantly an FM managers response too in the game

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Don’t get the outrage? He’s been asked a question about a player they’re very publicly linked with - he’s just saying they think he’s class and that a deal isn’t done yet.

If O’Hare hasn’t been turned yet, he’s not going to be turned by an interview

 

[Perryccfc]

That response is bang out of order, he needs to realise he’s in the Championship not the Prem. I’m sure Robins will have a quiet word about it at some point. Fucking alien headed twat
