If Berge makes this move I will lose all respect for him. It's exactly what he's intimated he won't do. Move to a small town, medium-sized club with no potential to win anything or challenge for Europe. It's a comical move. The only upside seems to be that he gets away from the ridiculous goings-on at Bramall Lane, with our usual severely limited financial and (seemingly) talentless ownership that we have all been accustomed to for what seems like forever. Perhaps it is 'for ever' thinking about it.
Given this, if he goes...fuck him. IMO it's nothing like Illiman's transfer who went to his childhood team and city to live as he's always wanted to live. Being happy is what life is all about. Is it Berge's 'ambition' to play for fucking Burnley? What a fucking shithole at the arse end of nowhere!
My main gripe is the timing. Why couldn't all this have been done weeks ago giving the management more time to adapt and get players in to adopt an effective system that might give us a chance of survival? The Board must have known that what has transpired could happen as they always had the potential view and stance to sell both players at the right price. The morons have now left us in the shit with a week to go before the season starts, with a disenchanted fanbase, players in the squad who look lost at the minute, and little chance of achieving anything but becoming the most embarrassing team in Premier League history. Tossers!
I'll be there Saturday but I feel unmotivated and very let down. Not because of the selling, but because of the pathetic, shambolic management of this whole situation. They get some stick at times but thank God for the Baldock, Egan, Norwood and Foderingham's in the squad that are still here. Without them we'd have totally lost our identity as a club and all hope at all of having any chance of making a fight of it to stay up.
Sort your shit out Abdullah and Bettis. We've stood by the club. Don't fucking embarrass us.
