Gerrard wants Critch

[Tangerine Rhodes]

According to Mr Nixon in todays storiies. He wouldn't would he?

 

[ItsGrimUpNorth]

He’s been offered 40k a week to join him.

That’s not made up, by the way.

 

[Raging_Bull]

Who knows? The money on offer out there is off the scale and everybody has a price.

 

[TKL_Seasider]

Critch has answered that question

 

[Matesrates]

Can’t see it, Gerrard blamed NC for their demise, why would he want him back? If it’s tru, he has a big decision to make, huge money now, or stay, do well and in a few years get a job with a top premiership side.

 

[PdxTangerine]

Wish Gerrard would piss off, one of the great midfielders of all time but he's as thick as a box of rocks and has the resting facial expression of a mildly irritated cave troll.

In a way would be quite hilarious if he did go.

 

[DreadPool]

He’s been offered 40k a week to join him.

That’s not made up, by the way.

Lol.

 

[Insider]

I'd let him go for £5m, keep Jerry and appoint Dobbie straightaway.

 

[Devonshire]

Cannot see it happening, maybe next season if the offer is still there. If he ran off now his reputation would be in tatters as someone that any future club could not trust. Whist it’s great money it’s also not going to help his career push on, but how much compensation could they afford surely a lot more than Villa. If he is to go get rid now.

I mean it is though. The whole thing is made up

 

[poolseasider]

Like most things that people take as gospel from Twitter complete nonsense.
My lad and his mates started the Joey Barton made up one it's that easy to cause social media meltdown it even affected the BFC next manager odds.

 

[Chunkylad]

The word “Nixon” in that o/p signals this to be total horse shit

 

[TKL_Seasider]

Put a towel on Brunskill’s head and send him. Gerrard is too thick to notice the difference and no one else has a clue who either of them are.

Pocket the compo and get an experienced No2 in

 

[AngelBFC]

If Critch went now after all that he has said I would lose all faith in humanity unless there was eye watering compo being offered to BFC

There is zero chance of this happening (I think)

 

[John Deary me]

Do they have grass in Saudi? It wasn't any greener in Birmingham or London.

 

[BIG_BERTHA_3]

Come on own up who has given him a fiver

 

[Seasidedaz]

According to Mr Nixon in todays storiies. He wouldn't would he?

This is just lazy journalism and a very obvious connection to make. Nixons recent record on us - remember Donnelly for DoF?- is appalling. Total nonsense for me

 

[ItsGrimUpNorth]

No, it’s not.

 

[TKL_Seasider]

This is just lazy journalism and a very obvious connection to make. Nixons recent record on us - remember Donnelly for DoF?- is appalling. Total nonsense for me

In fact his record on us is (generally) so bad that I assume someone has deliberately given him a bum steer

Ok he reported Critch back, but only about 10 minutes before it happened. Also put the reserve keeper’s name out but

 

[Matesrates]

I'd let him go for £5m, keep Jerry and appoint Dobbie straightaway.

Yes!

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Didn’t want the snake back so would be more than happy with this if it happened.

 

[LA1 Seasider]

*IF* this wasn’t complete bollox (and it almost certainly is) then I’d be quite impressed if Critchley came out and publicly said no as quite frankly the money is absolutely insane and you’d have to be insane not to take it regardless of your circumstances. That being said if the opportunity was put to him and he took it, as long as he was honest about the money being life changing and too good to turn down, I wouldn’t begrudge him or anyone that move

 

[Northstandsinger]

I mean it is though. The whole thing is made up

No it isn’t. He’s been offered 2 million a year to go to Saudi, I’ve been told this by someone who knows him personally.

 

[Matesrates]

No it isn’t. He’s been offered 2 million a year to go to Saudi, I’ve been told this by someone who knows him personally.

I wonder what he’s on with us and how many years he’d have to work here to make that money.

 

[BFC_53]

You never know because the money out there is eye-watering, as others have said. It was always going to be rumoured when SG got another job.

I'm surprised he left the first time, so my faith in him being loyal to us is pretty much non-existent. But I'm not concerned because I completely agree with @Insider - we have a ready made replacement already at the club, so we get another few million for him and appoint Dobbie. We're pretty much in a no lose situation this time.

 

[LA1 Seasider]

I wonder what he’s on with us and how many years he’d have to work here to make that money.

I’d be suprised if he’s on more than £3k per week (and a decent promotion related bonus and pay rise incentive). So that’s £150k-£250k per year at BR. If the horse shit rumours got any substance whatsoever you’re looking at a 10x salary increase…. So I don’t care who you are or what your circumstances are - if you’re currently an employee of any sort and therefore have bills to pay and mouths to feed - you take that money

 

[LA1 Seasider]

Alternative option for SS. Let the Saudis know they can have Critch on a job share basis if they buy 49% of the club for a few hundered million. They’ll think that’s a bargain

 

[ItsGrimUpNorth]

I’d like to think there was a big area of his contract that surrounded the possibility of this happening and we are prepared incase it happens again, given how well documented it is now under-prepared we were last time.

I struggle to believe he’s on 3k a week. I’d say more around the 7.5-10k a week mark - but, who knows?

 

[Graves]

I can’t see it happening.

 

[LA1 Seasider]

It’s League 1. There’s absolutely no way we’re paying a manager 7.5-10k per week. Even the very best players in this league would struggle to get 10k a week.

 

[John Deary me]

It's great money for a cone collector with some translating responsibilities thrown in.

 

[fcblackpool]

I'll fly him there myself.

 

[traffordtang]

According to Mr Nixon in todays storiies. He wouldn't would he?

Wouldn’t be such a problem this time as we’ve got Dobbie waiting in the wings

 

[rememberlesshannon]

I hope so, Kev Stewart is back on the sand, doesn't have the same ring to it.

I don’t think anyone has given him a steer, it’s such an obvious connection he is printing the obvious.

 

[Matesrates]

I'll fly him there myself.

So would I, but I’d want £500,000 to do it, after all, he’d be able to afford it.

 

[SwannDangerous]

Really wish Gerrard would learn how to do football himself...

 

[Chrismalkin]

Could it be a planted story, an over elaborate way of getting the fans trust back when he turns ‘it’ down?

 

[briar]

Hope he goes,sooner the better

 

[DownToBloomers]

50mill compo and they agree to pay for the new training ground and it’s a deal

 

[Jaffa_The_Hut]

Have we ever had a manager that’s walked out on us twice?

Can think of a few who have done it once.

I hope Simons not going to say the same in a year or two’s time about Critchley was the name he kept coming back to on the manager list.

 

[Matesrates]

I’d be more than happy with this, if we get a decent wedge for him and Dobbie gets the job.

Tbf if Critchley keeps bringing in £4-5 million quid every time he goes and whilst he’s here brings a degree of success then SS would be absolutely right to keep him on the top of that list !

 

[WIZARD OF TANGERINE]

I can't see him going ,but because of who he is and what he has done ,then we would not be reading posts like this . He should never have been brought back.

 

[lythamite]

They can have anything they want.

‘Because of who he is and what he has done’.

Jesus. The fella took a better paid job. He didn’t commit a crime!

 

[XBeds-Now-Kings_Meaburn]

Journalistic bullshit throw enough about on twitter & in press & eventually one will stick just through the laws of averages . They have column inches to fill & twitter & clickbait targets to fill .

 

[voyeur]

How long will Gerrard survive in Saudi? Scouser in the desert. Take the compo for Critch and get him back by Christmas. Critch could even engineer Gerrard's rapid demise.
