[Albion] Rumours of Unrest - received wisdom, or a reality?

[US Seagull]

Bloke down the pub who knows the auntie of one of the first XI''s dog chiropodist mentioned something about a rumour.

Their chiropodist is a dog? I know the NHS was a bit of a shambles, but dog doctors is going too far.

I'm feeling like Brexit is to blame.

Because while we all want it, people aren’t going to reveal their source. You can take it at face value or not and move on.

I did enjoy this revealing of the source on Friday though.

 

[The Fits]

You don’t need to be in the know to see there’s a problem. There’s young players wanting out because they don’t feel they are progressing. Good players are looking like poor players. New players are not settling. No one looks happy. No one on the pitch seems to have a clear idea about what they are supposed to be doing. And there’s a notable lack of all the positive interviews from senior players that we used to get about Potter and RDZ.

Good point. They positively gushed over RZD from the off.
Response to Fab has been lukewarm at best. Either the media aren’t writing about it or that’s a pretty clear fact.

I think another thing indicating why I think FH is probably done for me is that he is not getting more out of the players, whether that’s motivationally or discipline. A lot of our model relies on the coach getting an extra 10% out of our players to push us up. An example for our last few successful managers Hughton got an extra 10% out of Stephens in the Premier League to keep us up, Potter got about an extra 10% out of Burn, RDZ for an extra 10% out of Solly. I can’t see FH getting anything out of anyone here, in fact I can’t see a lot of players regressing.

I was told it was 11%.

 

[Perry Milkins]

I was told it was 11%.

Who told you Harold?

 

[Eeyore]

I was told it was 11%.

You see, this is an example of how false rumours spread. There is no evidence it was 11%.

In fact, by my own calculations, RDZ got an extra 10.1% out of Solly. Naylor said it was 10.2% when the metrics were assessed. The Daily Mail said it was less than 10% and the new foreign players were to blame. The Daily Express said Princess Diana was murdered.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

My 2 cents is that I don't think the players like FH. This is based on nothing other than what I've seen at games and in the new behind the scenes content we now get. I don't see a bond there at all.

Remember when players would absolutely GUSH over RDZ and Potter in the media? Not much of that now either.

I'm not 100% FAB out, but I think the players are, I think we'll have a stinking end to the season and I think he'll be gone.

I hope he makes this post look idiotic. But I don't think he will.

My personal take, now it is late Sunday....

Fab has shit hair.
If I were a player I absolutely could not take seriously a bloke with his anal hair transplanted onto his bonce.
The same curse has affected Rooney.
That and Rooney being a fat lazy thick oaf, obviously

Fab is not fat, thick or lazy.

But he does have shit hair.
And weird eyes.

Sorry, but having defended him, I am now out. OUT! Out.
Out.

I agree.

We have been lied to.

What I want to know is whether it is part of a sinister plot, or just part of what we deserve, for electing the WORSE government in 50 years.

Paul Samarah who would have contacts in the club and I would class as someone of character said on the phone in about the unrest and also called for the manager to be sacked

Is he in any way related to Paul Samrah or just a random with a similar surname?

 

[AmexRuislip]

Something that you shouldn't be posting here. For two reasons, you cannot verify it yourself or the nature of the actual conversation. And also that this rumour gets spread and manipulated by those who cannot help themselves. You could also alert the club to a leak. Remember the team sheet thing ?

In the past I have been told stuff, on one occasion by a 'senior' NSCer that has been proven to be true. I was recently told something that is happening at the club that, if shared, may be neither here nor there. I still wouldn't share it. There is also the added advantage of meaning I am trusted enough to hear all the gossip.

As far as I am concerned, any revealing of internal happenings, even if true, is all very 'look at me'.

Is there any truth to the rumours, FH cycles to work with stabilisers

Maybe pop to the shop and get some for the defence

FWIW Paul didn't claim on the Radio Sussex phone in to have any specific insight into the dressing room and the "unrest" as you put it although he said "he'd heard stories" (perhaps via NSC !). But yes. He absolutely did argue that Hurzeler had reached the end of the road.

 

[nsclurker]

I’m not sure anyone will prove “unrest” on this thread but we certainly seem to have discipline issues and the evidence for that is pretty clear.

Our manager leading by example, on that front.

 

[Seagull58]

Well I certainly can’t see Matt O’Reilly leaving after several seasons here racking up goals and assists before “retiring” to Dortmund and giving Fab the gushing praise that Gross gave RDZ

I can't see Matt O'Reilly at all.

That’s down to lack of respect for the manager. All boils down to him.

 

[Ike and Tina Burner]

I can't see Matt O'Reilly

Fabian doesn't fancy him. Not his sort of player apparently. Direct from a player's spouse yesterday.

Doesn't seem to like anyone !! Have we employed a psycho robot ?

My wife quite fancies him.
I have to say that Matt’s body language seems to reveal that he doesn’t understand what FH wants him to do. Why did we buy the player if FH now says he’s not his type of player.
