Window Cleaner Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 How do we intend to get to Europe the hard way, if they've been given the green light to reinvest £91m by the way? That would suggest we're going to buy our way into Europe, which would be the easy way. Excuse me whilst I invalidate his waffle. still it does kind of invalidate the "we'll never get into europe via the PL " brigade's theory. Also we'll never get there because of FFP etc. Club's aim is still europe...if only I could believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 Funny that, didn't Morgan sign a similar contract quite recently? How much do you want to bet that Barkley stays at Everton for the whole of that contract?He is staying is the point. You can point to contracts as much as you like but if the clubs board only develop a backbone when most of the horse has bolted , you are lost. I do not expect Barclay will stay,by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 Will be interesting to see if he is still there this time next year ;-) Rather silly comment because if Barkley was likely to leave in 12 months he wouldn't have signed a new contract with Everton. Remarks like this, intended to suggest that our board couldn't have stopped the player exodus are frankly puerile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special K Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 I think the board rules are that we can't keep unhappy players, there's no point. But if we sell them it's disgusting and the club is a shambles. Rule 2 is we want statements from the club as to what is going on. But when we get statements no one believes what is said and the board can't be trusted. We need to say 'no' but when we say 'no' If the player creates in any way then we are run by a bunch of idiots who have only said no so they don't look bad when the player Is sold. And the final rule is non of this would have happened of cortese was here, but if it did it's be great business and part of some incredible strategy. You always talk sense Turkish and the above is right, but I think the reasons behind why so many players are unhappy and why the Board appear to be in such a mess needs analysis. The way the departure of Cortese was handled, the way Poch was allowed to hawk his services around and disrupt the players and weak management during the first six months of this year could have been avoided, or at least managed a whole lot better. I'm not saying that because of the benfit of hindsight, but genuinely they have lurched from reacting from one situation to another instead of putting in place any real drive since Cortese's departure, to push the club on further. IMHO it's fair to criticise the Board for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll tell you how it is, he'll lose his place in the French side because he'll be playing with a bunch of second raters in a side struggling towards the foot of the table, taking thumpings from mediocre clubs week in week out, that's how it will be.

buctootim Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 Im glad the board are refusing to sell Morgan and Rodriguez. That said I can see why he'd be ****ed off after seeing Chambers and Lovren walk out the door after less than a season when he'd earned his big money move after contributing to Saints through thick and thin for years.

mitch01 Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 It's unfortunate for Morgan as he is one who you might usually class as 'deserving his move', but the fact is that as a football club we can't afford to let him go. Too many others have got out the door first and now he's left holding the baby, but that's the situation and he'll have to get on with it. The board have undoubtedly managed this summer particularly badly, but Ralph's interview with Blackmore yesterday gave me some hope they have at least some notion of what they want to do from this point forward, and I support our stance of 'the sale ends here.'

angelman Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 yep, but we were told the players are off at a drop of a hat and the clubs can do nothing. If the club had said no when Lovren played up we would all be able to focus on football. We have some crucial games early in the season that may be important come the end. Not good preparation Disagree. All of the players (save for Lambert) went for over inflated fees, or rather fees that it would be silly to turn down. You could argue that Lovren should have been kept as he was not over valued.. They may be good players, but you have to think where the money is going to come from, and profits on player sales has eclipsed TV rights. Problem with football is that you can let your heart take over and not use your head. Supporters rarely use their head, the board has to. Now it depends on what happens with the money raised. I know what we were told yesterday, that it would go for player purchases & wages so I guess only time will tell. As I said earlier, Morgan can't be sold yet. The rebuilding of the squad would be that much harder. He can choose what course of action he wants to take, but players and agents have forgotten where the real power lies and that is in the contract. If he wants to throw his toys out of the pram, sulk, be petulant and refuse to play but be held to his contract, then that is his choice. It would be very sad, but I look at it as the rebuilding of the squad vs Morgan Schneiderlin and I know which is more important. No one player is bigger than the club and it is about time clubs took a stand and held players to their contracts just as players hold clubs to their contracts when it suits them.

thesaint sfc Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 Of course, if Everton sell half their first team, then Barkley might change his mind, but surely no team in the top half of the Prem would do that........ Exactly. I'm sure if anyone signed a contract with their employer and then their boss, manager and half the rest of the employees walked out and all seemed to be in a far better position you might start to doubt the company you're working for. I think the board has learnt a lesson here. The demise started when Cortese left. Nobody is buying into the future of the club now as nobody who was part of getting us to where we are now are left. It's a complete disaster. The only positive I can say is maybe we're starting a new era with koeman. I don't see us doing well next season but hopefully his long term goal will be as successful as the work pardew, Atkins and poch did. It seems ridiculous that we have to start that plan again but the players were here because they believed in poch and Cortese, and now they're gone and more safe and secure clubs are available to them with much bigger pay packets I can't really blame them. It still feels personal though as we're all fans of this club which we all took for granted at just how successful we had become. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look up his track record, confirmed Koeman of a Friday afty, club confirmed in on Monday or Tuesday I think, people even managed to get a couple of quid on Koeman before the bookies found out I think. When asked why Lovren and Clyne weren't in the squad for Swindon (or Hasselt can't remember which) some asked "being sold" to which KBilly replied "highly likely" To me KBSS is the onl real ITK who posts on this board concerning the club.

Unless there is a clause in his contract stating otherwise the contract ties him to the club, legally, in good times and bad. Imagine if we were doing well he (not picking on him as it is a general point) would happily accept bonuses on top of his contract so when things don't go well he is still obligated to pitch in. As much as I think we all would have agreed, prior to the exodus, should anybody deserve a move it would be him the club comes first and he may have to suck it up for a season. Still be plenty of interest next summer and will go out with his integrity intact should he buckle down and have another cracking season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I was resigned to losing Morgan at the end of last season as I thought that not being able to get near the French squad would lead to a desire to leave. When he did get in I hoped that might lead him to stay but having seen the destruction that's gone on this summer I honestly don't blame him for wanting to go elsewhere. He's been an absolute star and has ran his guts out for Saints for a number of seasons. When he's played he's never given less than his all and given that I find some of the vitriol directed at him on here somewhat sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs and Mopo are now not going to get two of their most important targets this summer (cue maniacal laughter and middle finger salutes) They will get at least one of them though, Morgan will do everything in his power now to force a move Imo and once that happens Jrod will have very few reasons to stay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skintsaint Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 Didn't do Cabaye any harm when he was at Newcastle. Probably why he moved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 30 July, 2014 Share Posted 30 July, 2014 Didn't do Cabaye any harm when he was at Newcastle. Why do you think Cabaye forced his way out to PSG ? He was dropped from the side for a few games even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
