He isn’t the first player full stop mick not just here. Some high profile players in the past have made national headlines, Merson, Adams, Best etc so it’s the ability to handle the pressure of the professional game at whatever level that is a good point of discussion. I guess some people just can’t hack it for whatever reason but the high profile players tend to get more attention and as a result usually more help. In the case of our man he may get help if he needs it but I will be surprised if he gets kept on if found guilty. Smacking a copper, not a good look on your CV.
Clearly there are some valid points raised about his personal problems and the mental anguish he may be going through as a result and one wonders if maybe being a full time professional footballer is not the best occupation for him. There are a lot of pressures within the game and many have been well documented over recent years, perhaps a part time playing role in non league and a career in coaching might be a less stressful path for him. I know he is still young at 25 but if the pressures are too great and cause his personality to flip now and again maybe he’s better considering his options rather then being full time. Just a theory.
Let’s be honest guys if you are charged with assaulting a policeman what are your chances of being cleared? As Mrs Doubtfire once famously said, ” wake up and smell the coffee dear “.
Well I guess that’s another big wage earner off the books, he won’t come back from this playing for us, not assaulting a policeman. Sad end but he’s obviously got issues that need addressing with him having previous.
Sitting on a lead eh,some things never change it seems. Glad I’m not bothering with i-follow it sound’s complete crap. If we can’t get back in to watch, which it looks like we won’t be, I shan’t be bothering forking out a tenner for crap reception and even crappier football.
Don’t think Hakeeb got over his bad ankle injury that occurred very early in his BCFC career, I know he went on loan to Rotherham at some stage last season but I guess he’s struggling for fitness and form as a result of that injury. Grant and Cliff could well do a very good job with him at Hull, exciting player when fit and on form.
If the government don’t put a rescue package together, which they probably won’t because other businesses will say ” what about us” and quite right too, then it’s over. Sit back and wait for the end for football in this country as we have known it all our lives.
I was hoping that everyone will give him two seasons in charge before people putting the boot in Ferrite,( not saying anyone is at the moment) We’ve got the man fans wanted now let him get on with it, just don’t expect an instant fix if we get one then all well and good if we don’t just roll with it. It was said that Cox had input into the signings before he became manager so let’s blame a certain person and I don’t mean Boris.
Football definitely cancelled for scunny fans this weekend, the council won’t even let us ask to be a pilot event, about par for the course.
If the rate keeps going up then the outcome will be the same, some might not agree about what’s going on with the restrictions but the government and local authorities won’t be changing their minds anytime soon, better get used to it.
Not at all I just urge you to ring the new manager and advise him, you appear to know better, I think you should contact him and put him right, he could well be very grateful to be put on the right track by such a loyal supporter. Not having second thoughts are you? Dont, go for it.
It’s been said that Cox needs time, first management position with a large squad of young and inexperienced players. It will be a season of experiment and learning. A finish outside of relegation will be seen as acceptable by the owners and we’ll have to settle for that.
Which brings us full circle again Ferrite and the point that the authorities and the Premier clubs don’t give a toss about the future of the current league set up. They sit on their hands and pontificate with there “do nothing approach” regarding the points you make. The structure is in freefall, this time next year it will be gone without a major shift by the authorities, sad but true.
Fair points Cliff but the lower leagues main revenue for most clubs is the gate money and as the bigger clubs have deals in place from sugar daddys like Sky which help them considerably more then the other 72 clubs. I agree broadly with the points you make but what about the ” big football family ” that gets touted about our league structure, one big football family etc etc? The bigger clubs could do more if they got together and approached the FA with some ideas, should they?, will they? We all probably know the answer, the little guys will fold, so get your nostalgia stories ready in a few months time.
There are lower league club in hock to 20 or more times that amount
Which just reiterates the point Ferrite is making, for my own part I believe the further up the football structure you go in this country, the more the bigger clubs want us lower league fry gone. There is no other country with a major professional football set up that has 92 clubs in its ranks, the big boys want us gone, they want everything football to be centred around them and their moneymen. I can see this season being the last professional one for a lot of league clubs in this country.
Absolutely and its been discussed at length by fans alike on many football forums but as yet nothing concrete from the authorities in charge of the game as regarding real change. See how you dodged copyright infringement claims there from Queen by subtle changes to the title of your topic.
100% agree on this topic being moved to non football, don’t agree that all replies posted on this topic are codswallop , however I do enjoy seeing the Cods walloped on matchdays.
Let’s be honest the brainless selfish brigade are becoming more prevalent in today’s society. They are the people that abuse members of staff in the restaurant business because they have to wait for a table to receive their half price food deal, the ones who push in at queues because they think they have the right and the people who verbally attack members of the NHS, Police and Fire Brigade for just doing their job in helping people. I pity their lack of mental capacity but they are becoming more commonplace these days. They would also probably vote Trump if they lived in America but not understand why they were doing so.
