  • Spot on NLA. Well said indeed.

    I didn't say I didn't understand it CE and I don't see leaving us for Bournemouth for more money as an issue or a problem in fact I think it's the right thing for any player that age to do


    I have no problem with any of that

    What I have an issue with is the shit that was being put on here about Powell not knowing Powell having plYers sold from under him just to be letting in liege players to enhance their status that RD is wrong to sell yann and only did it because he don't care if we go down

    A . because he was savvy enough to negotiate properly and get a cheaper deal should we go down as virtually all the reasons that happens were caused by TJ/MS and with regards the pitch RM

    B. because he wanted the x amount k that we got for him



    It was a factor of yanns negs stance and a factor of what RD wants our players to be earning

    I think you do Jackson a huge disservice to be honest
  • No one is saying he's wrong cos he took the best deal. The manor in which he tried to hold the clubs owner to ransom by faking injury is what I don't like.

    Tbh I'm glad he left, good riddance in fact. Just not happy about the replacements but what's done is done
  • Are people unhappy about Kermy leaving or is it just that the replacements are not good enough? If someone had come in and his replacement had scored the goals to keep us safe, this thread would be very short.
  • Exactly GJ anyone can leave Powell could've left and gone wherever he wanted as long as you leave in the right way

    This club has always let it's best players go and in the recent past do it with hrs or mins to spare and no decent replacements lined up it ain't new and it will undoubtably happen again
  • Anymore than Murray
  • I wish Yann was still playing for us - only player I've really enjoyed watching in recent seasons.

    I don't give a damn about Kermogant but I do care that someone made a decision to let a goal scorer go and not replace him with someone as good or better. It makes me worry about the competence of the person making such decisions.
  • Not read thread since page 3 but can't believe we are still banging on about this. If Yann loved it here so much and loved the club so much he'd still be here. He isn't.
    Says it all for me.

    agreed , fuck doing whats best for his family
    Well there you go then, he made a decision to leave, he wasn't sacked

    Poyet ?

    Solly ?
  • Solly has hardly figured.
    Poyet is brilliant and great to watch - he has 18 days left on his contract, so make the most of it.

    Yep. And he made the correct decision to leave. Probably earning what he is worth. Scoring goals again. And has a chance of making the playoffs

    People can believe what they want to believe and I believe we made a massive mistake in taking the piss out of our main man. That wont change.
  • @NLA

    The fact JJ has backed up his commitment to us by signing the new deal on similar wages shows someone who really does care for our club

    I like JJ, believe he is great pro, and am glad he has a new contract. But you surely don't believe there was a queue of clubs willing to pay more for JJ as there was for YK? If you do believe that, or cannot see the difference in the two cases, then I'm afraid you've weakened your overall argument in my eyes.

    Tell me, has it occurred to you that footballers don't necessarily all like each other in real life, and that Yann being a bit "different" might have had one or two personal enemies for reasons which have little to do with what happens on the pitch? If so, isn't it possible that the version of events you've obtained, comes from people who don't like him?

    You are probably right, but I was demonstrating (in DP case) that there is nothing that the new regime has done to inspire any confidence going forward, or attempt any collusion with the fan base.

    They sacked a popular manager, sold a popular striker, sold a fair midfielder, brought in unsuitable replacements, avoided fan meetings, gave a false ST deadline, suggested compulsory seat moves.

    Whether these are right or wrong, time will tell, but they are in the entertainment/leisure business and folk come to the Valley expecting to watch decent football played by players they know and like.
    The owner/board are simply waiting to see what happens before they spin us whatever version they concoct for our demise.

    RD wants to "sweat the asset", so maybe that means developing quality players to sell or use elsewhere in his network, so who knows when we will see another Poyet in a red shirt.

    The YK issue is just a symptom of the situation we are in now - the owner doesn't need to worry about fans' money or fans' views at CAFC, as the future is about using the CAFC development skills to find cheap playing resources for his more high profile teams. How CAFC are doing, or what league they are in is of no relevance.

    Yann897 when do the school holidays end ? Don't you have some exam revision / school course work to get on with ?
  • If I had done well in my job and was offered a pay cut I'd leave too.

    But he was not offered a pay cut allegedly he was offered an increase but not as big as the one Bournemouth offered.

    Anymore than Murray

    Or TJ & MS!

    DP &HI totally with you on this

  • If we could have got Gradel on perm and Best on loan, then maybe letting Kermy go would have had a lesser impact. But we will know at the end of the season, if we stay up we have got away with it, if we go down we haven't. As others have said, I seriously think that RD underestimated the strength of the Championship and giving us PP, Nego, KOC, AA, etc and letting go of Kermy and Stephens has seriously weakened us.
  • PA I am not even remotely suggesting JJ and kermo had the same interest or requirements I am nearly pointing out that JJ could easily have gone in the summer on a free and earn a nice little sign on and the same money but he has a genuine affection for cafc and wanted to stay

    Yann believed he was worth more than offered and so do I however for yann to get the higher money his stance was one that no player should be allowed to get away with

    There in lies the difference

    We never replaced him adequately but also remember he only scored 5 or do goals for us before he left so him leaving isn't why we are in this position as we were already in it

    It ain't helped get out of it but I agree with the stance taken

    Yes some players don't get on but this isn't a grudge held by one bad mouthing another it was a response to questions and an understanding of what happened that week and why it happened

    An honest answer from 3 separate people that hasn't deviated in substance



    The stick to criticise RD is not the yann stick it's the fact he or whoever he trusts believed that Reza and AA and nego are good enough to assist now from what I have seen of AA and Reza I think they were correct however they needed to be signed with two others so they can bed in and have less expectation


    If we go down yes letting yann go will be an influencing factor the very same way yanns behaviour during that time be

  • No one is saying he's wrong cos he took the best deal. The manor in which he tried to hold the clubs owner to ransom by faking injury is what I don't like.

    Tbh I'm glad he left, good riddance in fact. Just not happy about the replacements but what's done is done

    Course you're happy with what we have upfront without Kermorgant - tomorrow you're gonna get Marvin Sordell tattooed on your arse!
  • Yann who ?
  • just checking he did what was best for his family

    we didn't wanna pay his going rate

    fair enough

    we thought we'd spend money on Polish Pete instead cos we didn't want instant dividends

    I thought the Pete transfer was a mistake too. Would've much preferred 1m (which we offered for Gradel) been spent on a striker in Jan and i'm hoping in the summer this comes to pass.
    We offered 1.5m for Gradel, cash upfront.
