I know Ollie was really down on Friday before the Hull victory and no doubt after the fabulous win, will be in good spirits this week, but the point i'm trying to make is in Ollie's post match interview, where he was full of praise for GTF(and rightly so) but said something along the lines of, I can't believe no-one has snapped him up and he's grateful he's still one of his players and really bigged him up almost to the point that i was thinking what you doing Ollie, are trying to sell him! I know Ollie is a man's man and looks after the squad like his family but i can't help but think this is one of a number of issues going on behind the scenes ala Eardley and the wages situation and to me Ollie disagrees with what Karl is offering or has given to some of the senior players. Don't know if i'm reading to much in to it but would like yo know what other people's views are, as i don't think everything behind the scenes is all fine and dandy and could have a negative effect on the long term. Hope i'm wrong. UTMP!!!

Thank god you posted that rob, i have spent all weekend thinking about what ollie said and watched the after match interview a few times, i thought i was going mad.
I also got the impression he was saying come and get him, as for eardley no sympthoy at all sorry, you know the terms of your contract end of!!!! and to come out complaining to the extent that your not of the right mind to play is unfair on the team,managment and fans.
Your a young lad of 22 the club have exercised their right to take up the 1 year option on your contract if your not happy with the new offered deal so be it.
I just find it strange that if Gilks,Crainey and evo signed new deals the offers can not be to bad, if your trying to play hard ball with Karl, young man your wasting your time.

Can't help feeling that we are waiting for a last minute Striker signing and that GTF might be sidelined as the season progresses. There is a surplus of good players who are looking for contracts at the moment and knowing how Karl ticks he might be looking for a bargain as the deadline gets close and to off load anyone making a fuss about wages. Shame really because GTF is a good player for us and has done well (cracking goal by the way) but if he's feeling neglected then his head might be elsewhere. Who knows what goes on behind the scenes. It a wierd business managing a footy club these days.

There's only one thing worse than being talked about......and thats not being talked about. Still think there are a few cracked tea cups at Bloomers. Time it was sorted out.

I guess reality is this stuff will go on and be dissected to the nth degree until the transfer window shuts, and then with the Premier League maximum squads and loans, and those who didn't get a contract, it will still be happening early September. Not sure if Ollie is playing a game, or he is being selectively quoted outside his news conferences. I had hoped we might just be talking footy by now
