So itfcjoe... 23:54 - Jun 23 with 23795 viewsOriginalMarkyP

What did PC say to Dobra that's so bad that he will definitely leave?

Dobra did actually say he wanted to come back and fight for a first team place. I'm assuming he said that after PC said whatever it was to him.

This whole situation is just getting even more confusing. The club needs to make it clearer on who they are looking to keep and and who they are looking to sell. I'm sorry, but if everyone is put into the U23s the message seems to be that everyone is up for sale.

I don't buy any of this motivational tactic thing - sending everyone to the U23s team is not motivational, nor is it a good method to advertise them to potential buyers if they ARE for sale.

The current situation with Dobra as I see it is that the manager has told him to leave, then he claims in public that he wants to stay and play, and then the manager sends him to the U23s anyway. I see nothing motivational with mixed signals and I certainly wouldn't be looking to stay if that club is that keen on getting me to leave.

Can you back up what Cook said to Dobra Joe, with a first hand account? Or is this just hearsay? Or is it one of those, 'I can't say who told me' moments

Because without wishing to sound funny, I could come on here and say that Cook thinks Skuse had one leg longer than the other and that why he ran in circles.

But that would be false wouldn't it.


Skuse has a false leg?!

Knew it.

Why should the club be clearer?

Aside from fan interest, speculation and gossip, it serves no purpose whatsoever.

All of our players are available at the right price. Why tell everyone we do not want xxx, it will only weaken our negotiating position.

We probably should have noticed at the time that he only talked about demolishing and didn't mention rebuilding.

There is an element of making it clear to those we don’t want, that they aren’t wanted, so that they are more likely to accept a move, and try to get a move.

If it is the case he stays imagine it will be all down to Dyer who likes him

Personally I don’t see it as anti cook. Appears to me more that others seem to have an agenda for some strange reason.

Don’t leave the forum, good poster who knows his football. Don’t agree with everything you say, but I do think you often make good points.

I’m not quitting and stomping off, but just finding it exasperating at the moment - even in response to that I’m told I frame everything as anti-Cook. Just no point me posting much, I hinted at weekend it was going this way but has continued to do so and just bored of it.

Second best itfcjoe flounce since season ticket-gate…

On a serious note I didn’t read any of that as anti-Cook, in fact I noted the other day you were happy to acknowledge you may have gone a bit strong on that a month or so back and your position seemed quite reasonable. But for some we are in the honeymoon stage where Cook is the messiah so questioning any little thing that is happening currently means you want him out and think all the players we had last season were brilliant, or something. It’s not like the same thing happened with the last manager of course

No need to get like that...but your level-headedness has gone ever since Cook was appointed and it is coming across to many posters that you don't seem to overly like him...

I'm not saying you have an agenda against him but i could see why some are thinking that way.

That was a proper flounce, at least my self imposed exile only lasted one game until that waster Jewell was sacked!

Just finding having to explain myself over and over and still be told think something different is getting a bit much, better things to be doing. Although am currently sitting in van reading a book as little one sleeps so could be argued that isn’t the case!

PC has always rated Dobs, it hasn't changed. We've gone back and forwards on few things Joe, but this one is the 'one' I know about, the ins the outs, the whys etc and what ever on earth you were told about it all on him specifically was nowhere near the case.

We wil all move on now, but who ever told you 'that' version was way off im afraid

Anyway, fixtures are out now, something for us all to look forward too. Fingers crossed some new signings to start flowing through.

Not what I’ve said, Cook has to listen to Dyer


No, I've extrapolated from what you've said "If it is the case he stays imagine it will be all down to Dyer."

Cook doesn't HAVE to listen to Dyer. And the final decision will still be down to him. Also, if young players leave, can we infer (from your logic) that these players weren't liked by Dyer?!

Dyer will advise, Cook will call the shots, and if Dobra (or anyone else) stays, it will be down to Cook not Dyer. You said Cook had made up his mind on Dobra and there was no going back. If Dobra stays then your info was wrong, simple as that. Phil's (and indeed Alan Lee's) versions make more sense.

Trust the process. Trust Phil.

I think Joe has been balanced as opposed to being swept along by new manager euphoria. He gets misinterpreted all the time by people thinking all last season's players are rubbish with terrible attitudes

I don't offer 'Nuggets' as i'm not one who goes chasing, otherwise that source will close up. What i've found out is nothing of interest to the majority as it's not first team level, I only spoke up regarding this specific situation as the wrong info was being supplied and It wasn't fair to see it out there knowing its wrong.

On a seperate note;
Joe's a great guy, i've followed his thoughts for many years and will continue to do so, do we have run ins, absolutely, but it's mainly because we share the same passion for the same club, he see's it one way, I see it another. He certainly gets more snippets of info in some areas of the club which i'll always enjoy reading
I've tried to put that distance between our posts hence i've not go involved in the certain aspects of the thread. So hopefully people will see im not the one causing it here.
