Barkermush Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Chaplow this morning on Twitter...Richard chaplow @Rchap04 Morning,a lot of RUMOURS flying around on my future,I am still a saints player and it's somewhere I want to stay 4 a long time! #saintsfc Turns out Nixon was speaking rubbish, hate that guy! Burnley have also denied we are interested in Chaplow. Apparently we are looking to bring in Brett Pitman as a replacement for Rodriguez when he goes. Another player Howe worked with at Bournemouth, not sure I like the sound of it though.. Isn't he on pretty big wages for a Championship player at Brizzle? I remember he was raved about before moving to Brizzle (I remember him rejecting a move to Blackpool, then in the Premier League over money. And a few other clubs being interest in him) But since joining Brizzle I can't ever remember seeing him in the top goal scorers chart in this League (unless I missed it) or ever hear much said about him on Championship review/preview shows etc. What do Bristol City fans think of him?

robterrace Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Seeing all sorts of bollocks on Twitter. Some say he's definitely buying Forest, some saying he's definitely buying Leeds I just ignore most of the twitter rumours... Although, one of the guys who is pretty close on with the Forest stuff says that there is definitely some interest from the Kuwaitis. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pukey Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 From what I've seen, Forest seem the more likely club. But who knows, could end up buying neither of us. Next few days should be interesting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo7 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Leeds will offer £500k for Lee Peltier apparently as we pursue Rosenior. We're also apparently holding out for £3M from Celtic for Mills, but they don't want to spend that much, so it's more likely he'll go there for the season on loan, with Celtic paying 100% wages. Thens theres still the obvious Stewart, Koren, Chester, etc links but nothing more I don't think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGartz Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Seeing all sorts of bollocks on Twitter.

MIR17 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Can't say I'd be sad to see Peltier go. Really wanted him to do well, but he does seem out of his depth at this level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Having obscenely rich buggers is not all its cracked up to be. You soon see your debt rising to insurmountable levels and realising it's just a matter of time before you go bust (again). Depends if they turn it into equity and remain debt free or not. Are the Leicester owners racking up huge debts then? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIR17 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 It's not that he is a poor player in terms of ability, he just seems to have no positional sense and we conceded so many goals down our right-hand side last season when he was miles too far upfield. I thought it might be a tactical thing at first, but when Pearson is your manager who is well known for defensive organisation and we try several different systems and he's always miles too far up the pitch it becomes clear it's the player, not the system.

englandmanager Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 there's confusion with this kuwaiti owner as it was translated as "i'm in for a team not in the premier league but a team with rich history" so it's either, forest, leeds or some team that dominated pre 1920's .... huddersfield Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ecstasy Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Either way, Leeds takeover will surely happen in the following days, if Arabs don't buy them, there's a bunch of Americans that want to buy the club. If that still doesn't happen, it's LUST, so it's 10% chance that Bates will hold the club anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cms186 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 ipswich well as i say, it depends on how you define history, obviously leeds and forest would be the stand out clubs history wise outside the premiership right now, but Ipswich have won the league ( and finished runners up twice ), won the FA cup, won the UEFA cup and of course its the club where Sir Alf Ramsey learnt his trade before taking england to the world cup, that seems a pretty decent history to me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had just wont promotion to the Premier League that season aswell, needless to say they were relegated the following season. They qualified for the Uefa Cup aswell despite being relegated, due to their fair play record I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cms186 Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 This is interesting, the kuwaiti guy at the centre of this, Fawad al Hasawi ( who definitly exists, seems to be minted and is currently the owner of some kuwaiti club ) has apparently said this in a recent ( sometime today ) interview: I try to buy a club from lower division (not PL) and I want to take 52% from this club to put my control on it, but when we want to sign the contract they told me only 30% and I refused, but now I take over a team with 100% not even 52 and the team has a really good history They asked him about Watford or QPR and he answered: "the team is way better .. A good history team" now call me optimistic, but it sounds to me like the first club hes talking about is Leeds and the second club is Forest, of course, it could be a completly different team, but im getting more and more hopeful on the down side, it doesnt seem like anything concrete either way will be announced anytime soon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
