I didn't take the post as accusing Britt of being a trouble causer - I took it as Pulis not liking Britt and benching him, maybe because that's how I'd heard it I don't know, but I was told that Pulis didn't want him or like him and then  Tav, basically because he was freindly with Britt got the same treatment. 

I guess that's why I'm not understanding the problem. I've obviously got crossed wires but that's how I saw Diggerlads post, not a dig at Britt but at Pulis. 

Diggerlad's post months ago was that Assombalonga was a trouble causer and that Tavernier wasn't being played because he was part of the trouble causing group.  That's what we're talking about, Randy.  I have no doubt at all that Diggerlad was told exactly that, I'm just saying that I don't believe it to be the truth or rather that's what I said at the time.  It certainly wasn't meant as a dig at Diggerlad as it were ?

I see, no worries - my memory is in decay anyway. 

Yeah Ive heard Britt loves it here, is a good pro and Pulis just didn't take to him or give him a chance from day one and Tav got roped in too. 

I don't remember the original post too well so I guess I just remembered how I'd heard it, my 7 psychiatrists all agree its memory disassosiation but I think their mad.

Surely the phrase is “trouble maker” where did all this trouble causer nonsense come from?

I wouldn’t say woodgate is a yes man, do you really expect the clubs manager to sit in his first press conference to say the clubs skint and we are just looking to stay up. He certainly wasn’t who I wanted but I have been impressed so far

Making and causing are different - you can make an omelette but you can't cause one. 

Dunno how that's relevant but I like to talk about food

I haven't posted in a long time for various reasons but been passing information onto 3 active members who subsequently have posted on my behalf (couldn't be bothered with the constant arguing of who is ITK or not).

 

Transfer window was exactly what i had been expecting after the information i had received, however what annoys me about the whole situation is the constant lies and same mistakes over the past 6 weeks transfer windows (baring 1 window under Monk).

In Woodgate's press conference Gibson was asked directly if the club were 'skint' which he denied and said he would back the manager like he has done every other manager - totally ***.

Woodgate was given the job over other managers because he was the only who agreed to let the recruitment team to take charge of transfers and he would only receive 50% of whatever we received in terms of outgoing transfers. 

Gibson wanted a yes man and unfortunately Woodgate was the only manager willing to let that happen because it was something too big of an opportunity to turn down for obvious reasons.

We all knew we had to balance the books because of past mistakes and staff, players on big salaries and no parachute payments. 

I dont think we have a bad squad and it was vital that we kept Wing, Fry, Britt and Randolph however they have all been informed that we will be looking to shift them on January/Next summer if we fail to win promotion as we need to balance the books even further.

We have saved over 200k per week on wages alone from last season.

Woodgates philosophy is going to be really exciting to watch, but unless a miracle happens then unfortunately selling assets is a sign of things to come and using academy players.

Personally i think we we were only 1 short of a really good transfer window and getting in an attacking player with pace which we have been crying out for years.

Ryan Kent was the number 1 target but we borked at the asking price.

The club is completely broke and i just hope that Woodgate doesnt get drawn into Gibson's constantly lying to the fans.

Love him or hate him, Pulis was extremely honest in his press conferences with what was happening behind the scenes.

Gibson's name will still get sang around the stadium because of past history by the rose tinted glass fans.

Forget about him being a business man for a second. For a guy who loves the club as much as he says he does, he is ripping off the paying customer with his dishonesty and same mistakes.

Before blaming recruitment team - please think who is paying and hiring the same recruitment team as the past 6 transfer windows.

We all have different opinions on what is happening at the club and we all have disagreements because of the love we have for OUR club. 

No matter what i personally think of Gibson i will always pay my money to see the club i love as we all will.

 

UTFB (I cant wait to get criticised by certain posters as normal for this post and opinion)

I think that is a very well put together, from the heart post, we all have opinions that may differs from others, but one thing we all have in common is our love for our football club
