What have I missed....... (1 Viewer)

Jordan Clarkes cat shit itself

Your Avatar says all you need to know. The UK one on the left is still our manager.

Hello All, the purpose of this thread is pretty much summed up in the thread title. I have been, and still am, travelling around the world. I left England the weekend before the Southampton game so I've been away nearly 4 months now. As such I have missed all of the news re CCFC and have not been able to keep updated as I have been in countries with very limited Internet until recently so I have no real idea of anything at all that has gone on during the close season and pre season.

I was hoping for a bit of help here in order to get up to dare with everything that has happened? Both officially and unofficially

Pretty comprehensive, but you missed out Jordan's cat! I like the bit where you thought "Hmm, shall I put what Deegan was suspended for? No, I'm not touching that with a 10-foot pole..."

Don't want to start another 20+ page argument over what may or may not have been written

Just have a read through a few of the posts and you will get a general idea

1)Did we get any money for Bigirimana or keogh?

2) Is there any way of giving details on the deegan tweet without sparking an argument? I'm even more intrigued now!

3) Has Harrison gone then if shaw is in? I quite like the thought of shaw back, predominantly from a sentimental point if view though I fear. Thorn and Shaw together the lack of experience seems worrying.

4)What, if anything has happened behind the scenes then? What's the current fans stance on things generally then?

1) Both undisclosed but reported as between 1m-500k each with add-ons. Which is daft, as Gael would is a potential £25m player according to some..

2) McPake got a NI call-up, and Deegan tweeted his congratulations with "Up the RA!" (and possibly one of these , I dunno..) It was around the day The Queen shook hands with that Guinessy bloke, too...

3) Yup, Harrison has gone, Carsley also promoted to work with the first team. Shaw beat Whelan to the job, who vented all over Twitter to the point where he blew any chance he might have had of getting a striker-coach role.

4) No idea about behind the scenes. Fans vary a lot. People who wanted Thorn out still do; a brief wave of expectation arose based on the signings, most of which not many of us had seen play. A 8-0 win against Hinckley helped. Then we lost the next 4 games to crap sides and people who backed Thorn like me started to waver.

Some think AT should be fired now, but that aint gonna happen!

And something happened after the game tonight involving Jordan Clarke's cat and a lot of shit. He was so mad, he tweeted about it!

Not once has anyone questioned whether Andy Thorn should be Cov manager while you've been away!
Seriously though, the fact we were allowed to sign a few players (on frees) gave some hope, as did wins in the first two pre-season friendlies. But it's been going down hill again after that. The signings also prompted lots of what formation/first XI threads. We have got Cat 2 status for the academy (that's good) and the Pompey thread has got to about 70 pages... Nearly everything else has ended up being about Andy Thorn...

Cat 2? It was shitty enough with just one of them in the changing rooms..

Ah, but we need a second one for the Academy so the youngsters know what to expect when they get shoved into the first team!

Tsk, and people say SISU don't invest..

I want to know where the hell 'around the world' have you been the last 4 months exactly to not hardly have communication with home?

Same old, same old. A tiny bit of hope, a shiteload of disappointment!

AT is planning on changing our beloved elephant to a cat with shit smeared all over it .Not sure where this fits in but with his proven tactical nous it's a move that will eventually win round the most hardened critic.!
