I think breaking that thread is about as violent as I've ever been!You won't hear much from me for another few years I expect.

Otta Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 Sooo, at least Saurez has at least had the balls to say he wants away from Liverpool. I wonder whether Madrid might come in if they don't get Bale... Just can't see him going to Arsenal, and after that stupid bid they put in, I hope they don't get him. (I know a lot of the fans don't want him, but the club clearly seem to) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35029-football-focus/#findComment-668246 Share on other sites More sharing options...
red devil Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 After a summer of public statements saying he wanted to leave Liverpool, get away from the British press etc, I was surprised that Liverpool supporters gave Suarez a standing ovation at Stevie G's testimonial at the weekend. What does he have to do/say for their fans to take off the blinkers? Obviously his racism was ok with them, and so was the odd bit of cannibalism. Maybe not acknowledging the ovation and then subsequently not turning up for Gerrard's testimonial dinner will be the tipping point? Or how about his threat of legal action, something he has previous for whilst he was at Gronnigen and trying to engineer a move to Ajax...sounds familiar? Or maybe it's today's latest public ''let me leave'' plea. Prey tell, Liverpool fans.I obviously realise Utd have a similar situation with the angry and confused pieman. However, if he plays in the Charity Shield match this weekend I don't think he'll get anything remotely like a standing ovation, infact more likely the opposite. Watch and learn Liverpool fans...

Otta Posted August 7, 2013 Author Share Posted August 7, 2013 I'm no Rooney fan, but I sort of have more sympathy with his situation. He's done it all with United, and wants to do something else. I get that. I also get that Suarez wants to play at the very highest level of club football, it's just the way he's conducted himself which stinks, plus he signed a new deal a year ago.

Rooneys conduct is not far behind Suarez, and a repeat of what he did a few years back in case United fans have forgotten.

The rest of the money has come from high net worth individuals. Some of these are board members along with the chair (elected) of the trust.One high networth individual, Ian Mcinees is chair and the board are currently appointing finance director, chief exec etc. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35029-football-focus/#findComment-668332 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind, Thursday> night football beckons.Nope. No nerves touched. I suppose we could have called the Wanderers RVP FC a couple of seasons ago but our sense of humour isn't as bad as yours obviously is.I'm reasonably happy with Thursday night football thanks. Some so called bigger clubs haven't qualified for a European competition but we have. I'll be even happier if we win it.

Watch and learn indeed.You've spectacularly missed the point I was making, that being what does Suraez have to do for Liverpool fans to get the hump.There's no hypocracy concerning the current Rooney situation, totally different set of circumstances.

I've no problem with Rooney wanting to leave for the reasons you cite. We had no problems with Ronaldo doing the same, infact he was given the best reception I've ever heard at OT when he returned with Madrid last season. The problem most Utd fans have with Rooney is the way he i.e. his advisors, go about it...ETA: grammar Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35029-football-focus/#findComment-668381 Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cheat will always look out for himself and likely does not give a toss about anyone else. Exciting footballer though, which makes it even more of a shame.Steve Nicol on talksport last night said that the manager had let Suaraz down by not (so far) honouring the contract terms! I wonder why Nicol might want to undermine the current manager?

What do fans have to do to join the Trust? Do they have to cough up i.e. minimum stake?...

I had a think earlier and the only names I could think of who would fit the bill and are 'available' are Lewandowski, who will be going to Munich next year, and..........Suarez!!!!!! That would certainly put the cat amongst the pigeons... Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35029-football-focus/#findComment-668384 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Medic Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 So RD do you not think there's a chance of Bale going to Madrid in effect to replace Ronaldo who returns to United?
