interesting to see SISU's stance on this.

I'll be surprised if they let Clarke call the shots.

nowt to be gained from being at Northampton, but SISU dont want to be told what to do. See if they do the same with Clarke. Surely he is in breach of contract ?

apart from taking us to Northampton ?
apart from suing a charity ?
apart from applying for a JR ?
apart from announcing a new stadium ?



Surely they can stand up to Leon Clarke ?

He's undone all of the good work he's ever done for us within the past couple of weeks. Absolutely disgusting self centred individual. The definition of the word c*nt should certainly be accompanied by a picture of his ugly mug. Maybe he's watching SISU's behaviour too closely and taken a leaf out of their book!

Enjoy your 3 months with the yam yams before they pie you off back to League 1. Pressley, the squad and the Sky blue Army deserve so much more!!

Very different to what he said on the offal

"Pressley said: "Leon is a doubt for the game tomorrow. He injured the heel in his foot during the Arsenal game.
"It is genuine injury and I would expect that to be the case. I have asked him to be professional and I'm sure that's the case.

Of course the offal is poor anyway, not a single peice of paper to be spotted in their large gallery of the fans from the Arsenal game.

Big problem would be what Pressley would make of it. Looking at that interview he wants rid so keeping him in this atmosphere unless they funded replacements and still kept him would be daft (even for them).

Serious question ?. Whey would they care what Pressley thinks ?. What did the fans think when they moved us to Northampton ?

Clarke is behaving the way he is to get what he wants, SISU dont tend to like that

Because the way out current owners act I really wouldn't be surprised if they take action against him! And fair play if they do. His job is to play football and if he doesn't do it he doesn't get paid

As wrong as it is for me to say this, I hope he fucks off elsewhere and gets a nice injury. Or even better, Paulo Di Canio takes over the club shortly after he moves

If they don't think they should keep Pressley happy at the moment then they are nuts as he is the difference to their fortunes by bringing on players (who can then be sold on) and keeping us in this league whilst costing them jack by shopping at the out of date section of Lidl.
Sadly, what the fans think of anything at all is much less of a concern.

Maybe just like me you don't know what's going on but maybe much more complicated than we all understand?

Pressley clearly upset by Clarkes attitude since yesterday I suspect. How a player can refuse to play I'm not sure but it would appear that is what happened.
He won't play another game for us. I can't blame the player for possibly bettering his career but there is a way of doing that especially as the club you are at supported you and played in a manner that put you back on the radar?
He has let the whole squad down and the sooner he leaves the better. It's a close knit group and he has hurt it.

Why is it so difficult to get replacements though? I fear we will need a journeyman to accept the challenge who will do the job. A Kevin Philips type who will relish in the way we play. Who?

We understand you defend the indefensible!! And when challenged run to another thread to avoid the debate

Completely agree about Dagnall, did he not deserve an 18 month contract? Worked hard, decent technically, reminded me a lot of Elliot last year. Nothing special but certainly a third choice if you're playing 2 up top, one off the bench.
Click to expand...
Pressley obviously only viewed him as a short term solution, why would he give him an extra year just to put him in next seasons bomb squad and have to pay him off to off load him?

SISU refused to pay. Leon refuses to play.
The irony.

Why do we except him to stay,, if anyone is shocked by this event you either do not understand the position we are in or do not know how Leon makes his living..His has always jumped clubs, always had dips but no doubt scores goals which creates his next move to improve his bank balance..I for one don't respect what he is doing but understand and expected he and his agents stance. He goes, we make money and try to replace,, which is very tough in our situation and in replacing the amount of goals he scores....The only good news is Wilson is not fit now as he would be a gone as well,, plenty of offers awaiting him when he gets back playing...

Because he signed a contract.
The same reason we expected SISU to pay the rent at the Ricoh !

They tried that with Dublin but still had to pay in the end, and I suspect Clarke will say he wasn't fit, so I can't see how any action will be successful.

Of course they won't. They need to free up the 8k/w to be able to pay wages for his replacement (FFP regulation).

You're happy for him to influence our youngsters? I'm not - get shut of him or start a new bomb squad!

I can't wait for Callum Wilson to come back. What a player he could become. He should be looking at this as his chance to be a hero. Clarke jumping ship, upsetting the boss, the morale, the fans...Wilson comes back from injury, the local boy scoring goals, assisting goals, refreshing attitude! Bring on March...

What about Matty Fryatt? He'd be a great replacement in this league...& do us a job in the championship if we got there.

We couldn't afford to buy him or his wages. Plus championship clubs would be keen to sign him, he scored 4 in 7(2) at Wednesday this season and has been getting sub appearances in the PL.
