City Players Contracts and Buy-Out Clauses

Sydney, is this an act, or are you being genuine?

 

Syd never used to be this argumentative - the past 3 or 4 months have seen a much bolshier Syd. I blame the exchange rate going against him.

Meanwhile, Godwin's Law cropped up pretty early on in this thread, didn't it?

As for contracts, I bet Meyler and Elmo will be sorted soon. I'd imagine they'll offer Aluko a new one, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if he turned it down and took a chance on winning the free agent lottery next summer. Huddlestone... anyone's guess. If things don't pick up for him, perhaps a cut-price January sale will be on the cards.

 

Because dipshit = dense. He'd also had a few goes at me first, I hadn't said anything derogatory to you.

 

I never used to be this argumentative because I used to be able to offer up opinions and not have my head bitten off. People criticise me for not backing down, but when I have admitted I was wrong I've copped abuse, which kind of leads me to not want to.

 

Yes you did

 

When I first joined I posted maybe once a week and mainly read posts, so no I wasn't. I think it all kicked off when I had a crack at Bruce's management style, and someone had a go at me for thinking he was anything less than the perfect manager.

It's interesting, I post on another football forum - an Australian one - where people debate quite regularly, but at no point does personal abuse come into it. Maybe a difference between the Australian and English mentalities, but people on here seem a lot more aggressive, which makes me respond in kind.

 

Errr
It was a joke (clearly a crap one)
I assumed you would reply "No I'm not"!

 

Oh right.

Back to the actual topic though, I hope we've started offering new deals to players to prevent the buy outs becoming more of an issue in January. (Which was my original point)

 

I sort of agree ( but don't bloody argue about it!)
I assume new contracts will be offered to some, although I suspect the club may actually be fairly happy if some go, or at the very least will wait to see how players do for a couple of months before offering contracts to some

 

I guess he's not a Monty Python fan!

 

He went over the 5 minutes.

 

Oh no he didn't!

 

OK you drongo

 

I've lived in Sydney for 15 years and I can tell you it has a much more aggressive undertone/culture than anywhere I lived in the UK

 

I take it you never lived in Toxteth.

 

I would say the opposite, people in Australia are pretty easy going in general. I've never for a second felt threatened when going to a sporting even and giving an opposition supporter a bit of ****, whilst I've felt much more threatened in England.

 

A release clause with an expiry date is a release clause with an expiry date, it will not apply after the expiry date.
