Most liked posts in thread: Danny Rowe - The New Charlie Wyke - now with poll

Heard weeks ago it was Callum Cooke

 

The truth is he wasn’t prepared to fight for his place and Chesterfield who were in for him in January were offering a 3 year deal. We could have said no and brought about another Vaughan scenario

 

Not attacking him at all but it’s obvious he didn’t want to fight for his place so off he went

 

The not the truth!!

 

Strange how Chesterfield furloughed some players in January and then did a Barrow and signed replacements.

 

But surely that is now you making assumptions based purely on what you are reading? I’ve no idea whether this training ground bust up is true or not. It is - at the very least - plausible given his known attitude problems from previous clubs. He does not exactly hide his feelings.

However, “part of our plans” might have meant he was told match day squad but not starting. Could mean anything frankly. But you have decided to infer it means the management duo are gutless. Interesting.

Overall I’d say there’s a good degree of confirmation bias going on here. Those who feel the club is a mess prefer to believe Rowe is in the right and it is all down to the club that this has happened. Others more defensive of the club feel Rowe has in effect done this to himself.

Me? All I care about is that - if we have a player who patently does not want to play for us, I don’t want him here and gone at the first opportunity, rather than letting anything fester. In that regard alone, at least the club have sorted that - it would appear - relatively quickly.

I’m as disappointed as anyone it hasn’t worked out given the early signs when he joined, but equally he’s had Cook outperforming him for some time.

I am sure you a correct, its no different in any walk of life. I know which of my staff do not see eye to eye. Its never got to the fighting stage but i have had to mediate at times. I definately would not tolerate a trouble maker , working for me.
I am not saying this is what has happened at city, as i said earlier we will probably never know.

 

Let's say I have a better grasp of what goes on than others

 

Not sure what that means.

Either way, take it we agree that whichever spin you put on the situation we are better off without a player who doesn’t want to play for us.

Everything else is just noise.

 

I'm not bothered which way you take it. It's a football forum.

 

But he was told he did have a place it was up to him to show in training that he should play rather than cook or Novak he decided he didn’t want that and moved on

 

Do any of your staff ever come to blows Fordy, perhaps over a new shami?

 

always mate.

 

Whatever you and I believe is immaterial as Ryan Sparks has just said he was assured the club wasn’t trying to get rid of him. He decided he didn’t want to fight for his place he would prefer to move to Chesterfield with a long contract end of story

 

"
Now there's a statement I'd love to read from any club about any player.

 

I agree with your point regarding Rowe that we are better off without him here.

 

A handful of players across a couple of years under different managers and a different CEO. Yep evidence enough there to see the sky's about to fall down. Brace yourselves.

 

Would that be a shami kebab?

 

Yep works every time if managed properly!
