Billy's contract

[FTPE]

I like Sunjihi, but other than release the shirt and the fixtures an hour before the press did... he's given us fek all so far this year.

I've just had a pot noodle for lunch. I'm sure I'll regret it later.

He posted them way before anyone had even mentioned Wilder to give him/her their due



It isn't 'sensational' but it prooves that he is privvy to 'some' info on the club before you, I or any average punter.

This does not mean we should all hang on Sun's every word or indeed that everything he posts is from a source - but we do know he has a source up to last week - and therefore I do not instantly dissmiss whay he posts.

Also on this I would say, given the replies and some shoutbox comments I read, that there is at least a grain of truth in this.

Wilder was being mentioned well before Adkins went. He was an obvious choice being an ex blade .

Other gems were we were going down the DoF route when CW was touted by him, Morsy was signing in August last year and Lee Grant had actually signed.

The best thing about these threads is Sun posts something

Then 12 other people....

"Backs up what I heard"
"I heard same a few weeks ago"
"mi mate told me this t'other day too"
"This is very similar to what I was told"

but they havent mentioned it before... are people really so desperate to have some ITK status?

It's hardly status though, is it?

I've been around on these things long enough to know how people who share snippets of things are treated. 'ITK' folk are the most heavily derided posters in the history of SUFC footy forums (barring pigs, of course). They're either genuinely making stuff up and get called a cunt, or they've genuinely heard summet which they then share and get called a cunt anyway, because people think they're making stuff up. You can't win.

I read it as certain posters might have heard things but can't be arsed with the hassle of sharing it as they know what'll get said to them. They also don't know whether what they've heard is true, so why bother posting something which might be utter horse shit? I've heard things before off a 'decent' source but I've not bothered sharing them anywhere...partially because I was asked not to and partially because however 'decent' your source is, it still might be horse shit!

 

[Pinchy]

Using one "Itker" to prove another one wrong. Jesus, the forums gone mad. Well, more mad.

If I want the inside track on anything, I always consult an accountant with no office who is exiled in Spain, but has a British client base which includes football agents.

Nothing dodgy about any of that, of course.

 

[Slim Man]

There's 2 intelligent posts above this one explaining how unlikely it is that three different agents, in three different transfers, agree the same deal, but each choose to not get it in writing.
Why listen to rational reasoning if there is a chance of telling the club it "can get fucked"?

Does 'if' not mean anything to you?

Me too, original curry flavour. I won't regret it but everyone else in the office might.

 

[coolhandluke]

And even says he's very happy with the backing he gets from the owners and praises them frequently.

Not just a liar but a toady as well. If ever a squirrel gave a false impression it's this one, eh?

Carry on stirring the pot. Your fame allowance meter is running...

I get absolutely NO personal satisfaction from the budgetary maelstrom at the lane right now , none whatsoever .

Im a Blade , just like you and i want the very best for our beloved club and its finest manager since Bassett . But if what im hearing is correct ( and i have no reason to believe it isnt ) then god help this club and all that sail in her this season

I was ITK as fuck during the Bassett days. So was half of Sheffield because we all knew someone at the club, or someone with a mate at the club.

IF this is correct, what do you understand to be the nature of the situation?

Self-imposed budget restrictions? Owners unwilling to invest? High wages? Lack of income?

Edit: Just seen your post saying anyone wearing a back-to-front bib in training pics is getting sold and now I'm severely doubting your information

The owners have lost the club in a high stakes poker game at Genting. But Simon Tracey doesn't have the funds to move on, unless his Round Robin comes in this afternoon.

There, now that's enough attention for one day...

 

[Sharrow Snuff Mill]

Goodbye. I`m off back to the real world.

Good idea. Batten down the hatches though; there's a maelstrom on the way...

 

[Rodley]

No. Our experienced manager has had a private conversation with a close friend who he no doubt trusts. In that private conversation he was critical of the club owners. The said close friend then told a load of others in the genuine belief that they would not betray the confidence.

Both Tufty, who has been in the game for decades, and his close friend, who must also know the score, will be astonished and horrified that it's now all over the internet.

The odd thing is that Tufty, a man who has demonstrated repeatedly a willingness to speak his mind and tell it as it is, is covering up this scandal and faking a conspicuous appearance of contentment.

It's a funny old game, followed by funny old people who talk self-indulgent bollocks in order to enjoy fifteen fame-filled minutes on a fucking message board.

Nailed it

Indeed.......

 

[Sheffsteel]

I said at the time.

If we re negotiate Chris and Knillys contract before a ball has been kicked in the new division
Then expect many of the players to want a big pay increase and contract extensions too.

Some might be worried that their stock will decrease in the Championship so better to ask for a pay rise and contract extension now.

Haha, PRECISELY!

If somebody told me that Billy and Chris were pissed off I'd have it on here and Twitter before I took another breath. And I hate starting rumours.

Wouldn't it be better waiting to see if this is just bullshit or not before before jumping off the feelgood bandwagon?

 

[Harry's Game]

Dear me. I went on holiday two weeks ago and everything in the S2 garden was rosey.

Now catching up on threads and it seems like many on here are viewing the upcoming season like an approaching apocalypse.

I hope this is silly season madness.

 

[Danny_Boy]

Bit of fun, forum and social media translator.

"ITK": "I think this is happening so I will claim that I know it is happening".

"Good source": "Mate in pub".

"Can't name him": "Can't remember his name".

"Within the club": "Absolutely nothing to do with the club".

"That makes sense because": "I am now basically going to make something up to try and back this made up shit up".

"I have heard": "I am a massive virgin".

"Oh my god, united are shit, McCabe is a prick and Sharp is useless": "I now 100% believe these rumours because I crave negativity and want to bash the club".

"Someone close to Wilder": "Asked if he wanted to go large on his extra value meal"

 

[larkymasher]

When you sign a contract for any job you do so knowing what the salary is and what it will be if you do well or get a promotion.

Why would a footballer be any different. As for gentleman agreements, what a load of bollocks. What football agent in their right mind would agree to a gentleman agreement in the world of professional football?

If Billy, Coutts, Bash, the dinner lady, the kit man are not happy with their salaries they have the same option as me or anyone else to find alternative employment.

I for one think its all rubbish, but, if its true then get rid asap.
