Wade Garrett Posted 20 August, 2012 Share Posted 20 August, 2012 They're playing a risky game. They've made it all public for no other reason than to try and start an auction between us and Everton, who have just signed a winger. It's a game of who blinks first now.

The9 Posted 21 August, 2012 Share Posted 21 August, 2012 ahh I did'nt know that. If anyone wants another reason to dislike that *****, I was waiting for my boss at the Hilton, Swaythling where Blackpool had just arrived for the FA Cup game our NPL One side knocked out, I was at the entrance and Holloway pulled up with his wife(mutton dressed as lamb) as he walked through I made eye contact with him and smiled. I then jokingly said " Good luck tomorrow Ollie, well not too much luck!" he then stormed past me " I'm not signing anything or posing for photos". I was'nt letting that little **** have the last word, so my reply was " If I wanted an autograph of a manager of your ability, Ill pop down the park on a Sunday morning". As a former Sunday League manager I'm offended by this comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Posted 21 August, 2012 Share Posted 21 August, 2012 There are two certainties that come out of this - (1) that a manager and chairman can't be forced to sell a player if they hold his contract, and (2) that no club can force a player to perform to the best of his ability if he doesn't want to play for them. Blackpool can certainly hold on the Phillips and continue to pay him his NpC level wages but they risk paying him to play in the reserves and to see his value fall.

John Boy Saint Posted 21 August, 2012 Share Posted 21 August, 2012 Maybe we could agree to pay off his gambling debts as a sweetener. Or help them out when 3 company credit cards are declined when checking into a hotel the night before a game (Peterborough). How can he have gambling debts when he raided the Tangerine Piggy bank to help himself to an alleged £11m from the parachute/positional money. With this fella and Ramirez you can see why we are so keen to have 50% of our squad fed from the Academy should cut out most of this bluffing and pimping that is going on.

pingwing Posted 22 August, 2012 Share Posted 22 August, 2012 Maybe they will get Puncheon plus cash?

ART Posted 22 August, 2012 Share Posted 22 August, 2012 The one thing about playing in the Premier League is having enough cover for every position and more. Discounting a player losing form, injuries and internationals rob a club of prime players. The Academy is providing several players we can relie and count on, but it's wrong to write off players like Puncheon if we sign others. Let us not forget that Jason played a big part in convincing his good mate Clyne to join us. From Sundays match one gets the impression they have a good understanding on the pitch too.
