Matt Richie

Feck me - players come, players go.

Who gives a shit

First game after 10 years away and you've given up already?

[sonicyouth]

As far as I see it, things were looking pretty bleak on the takeover last night so the e-mail was released to the press with a view to getting some money in before the end of the transfer window.

The takeover is now complete so no its no longer applicable.

Simple.

it was sent prematurely but there's no real confirmation that any deal for the club has been done, just "understanding" from the Adver.

the Ritchie stuff sounds like a story that has come out a few days late

The 'no comment' from both ourselves and AFCB regarding bids for Ritchie concerns me

It's not a case of giving up - but, honestly, what's the point in all the shock-horror stuff when many of us have seen it all before - more than once.

If Ritchie stays, fine

If he goes, get on with it. It wont stop me going to games

Look - we, as supporters, are at the very bottom of the pecking order.

Always have been, always will be.

Nobody in the Boardroom gives a flying fuck what the supporters think.

So why bother with all the hand-wringing and wrist-slashing

You may be right (to a reasonable extent), but supporting a team lasts longer than just 90 minutes on a Saturday or Tuesday night. It's just the way it is!

here is the point: X











this is you: Y

see how you are missing it?

[Quagmire]

Pointless worrying about anything just yet, it's all reports, until something official comes out it's not concerning.

I imagine the club are too busy tying up the takeover to worry about commenting on some speculative offer from Bournemouth, and if AFCB haven't heard back from us yet they're not likely to want to comment either

"Players come and players go"-yes,but hopefully not to close rivals!Shearer to Blackburn all over again.

[kerry red]

Jeez, what I mean is it doesn't matter what you or I think of the situation.

What will happen, will happen with very little, if any, regard to the fans.

I just don't get the doom and gloom if Ritchie is sold - it's what clubs like Swindon do ad infinitum

[random_five]

Only at STFC could we get new owners who's first act is to sell our best player to a smaller club for 50p and a bag of grapes

I don't think it's Ritchie leaving that's causing the panic - it's the amount of money supposedly being accepted, and what it says about the intensions of the new board. Personally, I think it's a load of bollocks but I'm happy to play along.

[Bob's Orange]

So far, neither #afcb nor #stfc making any comment on Matt Ritchie bid. Deal could be done today or in morning understands @BmthEchoSport

Hmmm.

[kerry red]

Again - it's nothing the fans have any control over.

If we are about to get fucked over by Jedward there aint nothing we can do about it.

For all we know the new mob may sell ALL the players, pocket the cash and fuck off.

Then again, they may well be fine, upstanding and sympathetic owners!!

It doesn't really matter what we think of anything-but its what forums are for I guess
