I really don't understand why some people are getting their knickers in a twist about Pope. God help this page when Lookman goes
And all based on a Twitter account set up by a 14 year old in his bedroom.
I assume you missed the bit where his Uncle is reported to have said a fee has been agreed and Pope wants to go. I don't think his Uncle is 14.
I'm not saying you are wrong but where did the Uncle say that ?
Posted earlier in this thread that it was posted on ITTV message board by a trusted posted.
Mmmmm . I'd take anything written on there with a large pinch of salt
I post on there.
Always liked the 'earthiness' to it, but a lot of unnecessary slagging of CARD and this board. Strange really when ITTV do nothing towards helping CARD.
850k is not a great deal of money for the player he could become. Admittedly Burnley would be buying potential but hope we would add a sell on fee etc......
When I came out of the Blackburn 0-3(again) away game I was thinking we'd get a lot less for Pope than 850k.
Fair play to him, he's overcome his poor start and looked very solid eventually.
Dyche said to me personally "We're going to buy him but I don't rate him and he won't get a look in, that's why we're buying him. That's how you build two promotion winning squads that is, buying players who won't ever get a look in"
therefore .. keep our squad to (around) 22 players ((:>) .. as per Russ the .. bus (not the coach)
£850K. Or to put it another way, 0.425% of the money Burnley have just got on promotion. Well dome KM, great negotiation there.
Are you being serious? whatever it is a % to what Burnley get 850K would be a decent price all round. It's not Championship manager 2003/4 where you keep rejecting bids and they keep coming back with higher bids. This is reality and 850K for a 3rd Tier goalkeeper who has had a good 3rd of a season in the championship. I think Pope has huge amounts of potential but we are in a position where everyone is available at a price and despite everything you she and Roland have done wrong, if they've negotiated 850K for Pope then at this current time I think they've done well.
1. Do you really think we will get £850K upfront. That will be linked to performance. 2. He showed signs at the end of last season that he could be worth more in years to come. 3. We will get no where constantly selling players. Every summer we get same old. Sell a player, everyone says, doesn't really matter cause he isn't that great, we replace with some one worse. 4. I have never player Championship Manager, I have better things to do with my time.
Think a lot of people forget to take into consideration what the player wants. Contract or not if they want away then that's usually that's that. I understand Pope wants the move .

Great point, and my thinking exactly. Again, for all we can criticize the board for (including the fact that we're in League One), now that we are in League One, most of our players will want to leave to further their careers.

1. I didn't say upfront, installments means you still get 850k.
2. As I've said he could potentially be worth more than that but at this time 850k is good money. Him playing second fiddle to an recently capped English goalkeeper who's peaking tells me he won't progress as he should.
3. Reality check, we have just been relegated to the third division, we HAVE to sale players so if we get a good fee for pope which means we can keep a more important player like Kashi or Bauer I'd be happy to let him go.
4. Well done for having better things to do. I spent lots of time on it and don't regret it for a second.
Nope, I think that may feature in a number of players thoughts as they leave and a number of targets thoughts as they choose to accept less money and go elsewhere.
Just watching something now, best quote from Heorge Foreman 'people ask me did you lose to the best boxer, I find that insulting, boxing was something that Ali did, he was one of the best men that there has ever been on this earth'
Pretty sure posters mentioned not getting that sort of accolade.
Personally surprised little or no rumours yet around Hendo.
I saw somewhere that Portsmouth want him and he wants the move back to his former club! Probably rubbish coz come to think of it, it was football rumours I saw it on
What does Colin1961/BexleyBoy get out of 'keyboard life'?
Leave the guy alone. All you do is pick on him. Yes, he talks shit, yes, he copies other people's news. Ignore him. Surely your constant biting and comments count as bullying
So if you turn up with the self expressed aim of winding people up, then you have to expect a reaction, if you didn't get one you would be disappointed.
I don't think the response is bullying but I do think it gives the feed he needs to carry on with his thing.
That said, sometimes I think that's good, so I wouldn't change a thing in terms of the WUM and the bites.
Not my thing and wouldn't want to be that WUM, but if it's what Colin wants, I say let him carry on.

There are some excellent posters on there now that Reams has got rid of Nick the village idiot!
