whelk Posted 9 July, 2011 Share Posted 9 July, 2011 Quite amusing how Burnley couldn't match our offer for Jack. what with parachute payments and all http://nonaynever.net/4547/burnley-bid-1m-for-cork/ Did you join the right club Eddie? Glad you didn't come here but you wouldn't have even had to relocate and had a bigger budget. just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyLove Posted 9 July, 2011 Share Posted 9 July, 2011 Think you will find they say it's about his wages not the fee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamesaint Posted 9 July, 2011 Share Posted 9 July, 2011 I am pleased that he never came here. Give me Nigel any day over Howe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 9 July, 2011 Share Posted 9 July, 2011 Well Burnley couldn't agree a fee with Chelsea so it was obviously about that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whelk Posted 9 July, 2011 Author Share Posted 9 July, 2011 Think you will find they say it's about his wages not the fee. yes the link states their media manager saying that but 'offer' includes a transfer fee to club and wages to Jack. Anyway you look at it we had more clout and were more attractive. Happy days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Charlie Posted 9 July, 2011 Share Posted 9 July, 2011 Dont believe he was ever offered the job here. Nor me, it was just Eddie Mitchell spouting more crap. Howe had talks and was being consideres but not preferred to Adkins. Mitchell said this week that Bmth are the 'most ambitious team in the division.' Impressive statement backed up by selling 3 of their best players. Seeing as Charlton have signed two of them surely they are more ambitious for a start?!

Wes Tender Posted 9 July, 2011 Share Posted 9 July, 2011 It's easy to have ambitions. Quite another matter to have realistic ambitions, ones that you stand a chance of fulfilling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prince Jazzbo Posted 9 July, 2011 Share Posted 9 July, 2011 To be fair, I think he's a pretty good manager, and will probably go on to make a name for himself. It wasn't him that said he'd been offered the job here,it was Mitchell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aintforever Posted 11 July, 2011 Share Posted 11 July, 2011 Dont believe he was ever offered the job here. I heard from a good source that he was interviewed and decided he didn't want the job - I think that's what prompted Mitchell's outburst. You don't have to be offered a job to decide you don't want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandwichsaint Posted 11 July, 2011 Share Posted 11 July, 2011 Burnley = proper football club. Howe was never going to jump from Bompey to PL; suggest he's at a decent club now and that he may well end up in PL (if Jonny Foreigner doesn't get there first). Saints fans (on here)... so much bitterness ... just enjoy what we are doing ... are people really sooooh eaten up by what Bournemouth and Boscombe's ex manager may or may not be doing? I rarely give him a second (or twentysecond) thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghq Posted 12 July, 2011 Share Posted 12 July, 2011 I can't say I'm surprised about Eddie Howe being put down, being an ex manager of our deadly ex non rivals Bournemouth. What does surprise me is no mention to date of our current non rivals Brighton and their leader the dreaded Poyet. God please let the season start soon. As south coast clubs, good luck to B'mouth and Brighton in the coming years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As south coast clubs, good luck to B'mouth and Brighton in the coming years. I'd quite like us to finish comfortably above non-rivals Brighton this season to at least get the chance to massively take the p155 out of them for last season's antics before we go back to the kind of non-rivalry we currently have with Spurs again. If Brighton, Cardiff and Skate Cheats FC went down I'd pee my pants laughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whelk Posted 12 July, 2011 Author Share Posted 12 July, 2011 So many sanctimonious pr1cks on here. I'm talking about andy_porter and sandwichsaint on this thread but plenty more around. Whenever anything is raised they like to point out how people are tinged with bitterness. I have no bitterness towards Howe just amusing that we appear to have more pulling power than the team he appeared to want to manage more. Couldnt care less how Burnley do and happy for him to do well Fck me this forum has enough banal threads and post as it is with no real football to talk of just the odd rumour about players, beers, season ticket sales. Anyway my point is that you two are boring dull d1cks. Love you bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raven on the wing Posted 12 July, 2011 Share Posted 12 July, 2011 I think this has to be viewed in the light of Howe stating what a massive club Burnley (are) when he took over and how he couldnot possibly turn them down. I totally agree with the sentiments of whelk and will also enjoy the stick that Ian Holloway will get when Blackpool ( Prem league your having a laugh !! ) visits St Marys. Its not bitterness its just a reality check for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
