Squad disharmony so poor that whilst on their holidays the likes of Magnusson, O'Dowda, Paterson and Brownhill are all tweeting about the fixture list.

'Orns Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Some interesting posts from Billy today FWIW, we've all heard / read comments about SHs reputation within the business, see Flapper's tweets earlier this year. This isn't news, just because you don't want to believe (and I'd rather not, if I'm honest), then it's fine As above for LJ and team harmony last season. The trio (allegedly) going to SL to complain. Tomlin threatening to lamp LJ during a game, clearly heard by City fans None of us want to read / hear / believe it. But if you keep getting told the same thing over and over then I'm inclined to believe there's something in it Lets hope we get a couple of class additions in asap, get off to a flier then we will all have something different to talk about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even at my bowls club certain people are unhappy about something or another and are well known malcontents. There'll be cliques and some players feel excluded. Same in any work place. Its no big deal imv. Assuming we sign a couple of class players. What's to say that those players aren't moaners and whingers? Clubs rarely know what a player is like off the pitch until he joins.

How any City fans could have heard that when it took place on the halfway line and half a pitch away from the away end I am not quite sure. I doubt that there is complete harmony at this club, but I think that would be true at pretty much every club, so I don't see it as a big issue myself.

The hand of RO'D Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 12 hours ago, billywedlock said: Like any player he needs to maximise his career . Kodja went to Villa and improved his lot . Flint is leaving this summer no doubt. People don't like like the harsh reality that the LJ and SL combo is a big turn off in football . Yes you can can find some obscure player and pay them lots , they will join , but the tension in our squad this last year has been well communicated in the "football industry " as Ashton likes to term it . The most polite comment was " clueless " we have a beautiful stadium but that is it . We took an awesome promotion squad , primed with passion application and guile , that needed 3 top quality additions . Failed , destroyed that spirit and have become again the ugly runt of the litter . My opinion . Based on what I have seen and heard first hand. I now the romantics want to create LJ as some sort of footballing messiah that is just misunderstood and needs time . Money and players he has had , more that any manager in our history so Flint , like every player , if they can move on and get rid of the totally inept LJ they will leave 2 or 3 players in ! BCFC going to need ten or more . Flint , worth a move and a chance at the top . Most improved player year on year I have ever seen at out club . Happy holifays I've got a feeling that this post will come back to haunt us come may 2018. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably as poorly founded as most of the rumours about dressing room disharmony. How long have we heard these stories? And yet no one has anything concrete to say. Put up or shut up imho.

PNE were an overwhelming, crushing 8 points 'better' than City over a 46 game season, but encountered little to no resistance in slaughtering an abject City on the night. A City team that put up so little fight travelling fans were offered a refund. Maybe you need to give things just a little more thought rather than relying on your seemingly naive 'hunches'?

One game Nogbag. When we beat Fulham 4-0 at their place were there splits in their dressing room? Probably not. I don't think one game (maybe 2-3 in our case) can be used as the basis for claiming the squad isn't united. Yes, we were incredibly abject against PNE, but it was the same squad that managed a great run at the end of the season. Didn't look fractured then did it? That enough thought for you?

Mark Little, (out of contract) Ok there's 6 weeks to the new season, but why aren't they leaving in droves? If things are that bad the manager is shit the owner is crap,we just as well shut the transfer rumour thread down. as no player worth his sault is ever gona sign for us. Were no different to half the sides in our division. Let's get the song going for the first game of the season. Were shit and we know we are!!! I for one, well as many wanted Jono out. He came in and thought yeah ok then disaster . But it's like this he's our manager he's here for the now , so to get on his back before a ball is kicked helps in what way?
