Kenny Dougall

The club don’t owe us anything in terms of information.

We don’t know why Kenny has been out, it could be because of an imminent move, it could be for other reasons.

But the assumption from fans that the club need to put every bit of information out is obnoxious. What other club in the world would publicly announce “Kenny’s not in the squad because he’s trying to get a move away.”

I do not care at all that they’re more quiet about stuff like this.

It comes from remnants of mistrust from the Oyston era AT. As a rule it usually goes player drops out of the team for the (league) games = automatic assumption they're being held back from playing another minute in the league in case they're owed money or a new deal. They can train, they can play in cups, but they don't carry on with whatever was agreed to at the start. Even post-Oyston era think Liam Feeney getting a new contract and then us getting a new club secretary soon after.

And if you need an example of that sort of thought process outside of our club then one of the main Reading podcast lads rang the BBC Five Live 6-0-6 phone in tonight to ask Robbie Savage if his son Charlie was going through similar currently. He's not started in the league since November, dropped out of the XI completely after 1st Jan but randomly started in the EFL Trophy the other day. He was playing well for them, isn't injured and no fall out with the manager. Savage danced around the issue and went quiet when he's normally gobby (for the show) so you can read from that they owe Man Utd on the deal based on league starts and he's trying to get his lad out of there.

For Kenny. He's obviously going, we'll obviously find out soon and Critchley's had to go in full BEZ MODE again to put a wall of silence up until it's sorted because he's the only guy who fronts up for the club. And whatever we think of Critchley he's had to be that guy a fair bit here. We can read between the lines but we only needed to know that Kenny didn't go missing for health reasons for him or anyone in his immediate family. When you do well on the pitch you build up a level of caring in people who you'll never meet and don't give a shit about as long as you get paid on time. He's done us a solid just as he did for Barnsley and his Dutch club when he came over to europe for a gig. For me he'll be remembered for Wembley and when he said after he was told not to shoot by Critchley that season because it was too much risk but he had to do something.

And if he signs a new contract now then it's the shittest marketing stunt ever.

He’d be a good Kenny replacement. Classy player.

Totally agree but the club have handled this really badly..communication is a real issue at the club

Does seem to be a bit of a leave things to fester, make people question it, kick off at them for questioning it thing going on. Not used to dealing with real people instead of numbers on a spreadsheet by the look of it. And yet to find the right frontman with a personality who can front it up.

Was watching Coach Prime on prime and his lad is earning $5 million a year under NIL and would earn far less in the NFL so he stays in college! Watched a bit of the lady’s you tube and how she’s got 320,000 subs is incredible unless insomniac sufferers use it…

Yes, that is what I was alluding too.

Gymnast Olivia Dunne at LSU is the girl that is raking in the big bucks...... https://iconsource.com/blog/highest-paid-college-athletes

If he left this window there would be a fee to pay. End of the season there won't be.

If he's adamant he's off, then cash in.

There doesn't have to be. If he wants out and doesn't want to play, then BFC may be happy just to get his wages off the books.

No word of a lie. I had a dream last night that he signed a new deal here-for 10 years. The cold sweats were so bad the missus thought I'd wet the bed.
 
The personal issues thing is a load of bollocks, he was training as normal but had something personal that he could not play matches? Obviously just BS and really insulting BS if you are going to BS, at least make it good. He will have knocked back a new contract or maybe he is holding out for better terms, to not play him is crazy as he is on wages at BFC. With 6 months to go on his contract we will get a pittance for him.

Just because I reference domestic abuse in a sarcastic comment doesn't mean either myself (or Wizzerboy) condone such behaviour.

Having said that I would never get tired of twatting you, as you are a pseudo literary intellectual, PKE loving, anti-Blackpool annoying little ** 🙂

Only you and Wizzerboy defend such crap.

Wouldn't mind anyone's "sarcasm" reference to punching a woman you love?

Thought not.

Hypocrites.

Such gratuitous misogyny shames you both as fans that disgrace the club.

Rather than support Preston, I follow Blackpool as a critical friend.

With embarrassing friends like you two, Bloomfield Road requires no enemies.

This is a big thing over here in the US and all this bollocks would make sense if that's where they are going!

NIL = Name, Image Likeness and there is one girl over here who has become a multi-millionaire just because she is hot! The big sports stars from the NFL, NBA etc also rake in millions for their image rights on the various video games that cover their sports. Even the College football players can earn big money before they even get anywhere near NFL.

Paige Spiranac? I believe she’s hot!​

 
As far as I know, KD has been a model pro for his entire time here. Deserves considerably more respect from some IMO. No idea what's gone on in the last month, but the fact he came off the bench last week suggests the club are accepting of it however.

I think he'll be extremely hard to replace and our squad will be significantly weaker without him. That said, he's got to do what's best for him and his family, so all the best KD and thanks for everything from me.

117 posts later and nobody still know what is or isn’t going on.

Yet some’s only contribution is to slag off a woman they have never met and are judging from a video alone.

AVFTT at its finest.

Would you have made that post of it had been a man that had made the lifestyle video and was getting slated for it? Doubtful. Virtue signalling at its finest.

If she puts herself out there on social media for money, she leaves herself open to criticism. If she can’t take it , don’t do it. Simples.
 
What has that video got to do with Kenny Dougall and in particular his career at Blackpool FC?

Well I wish him good luck wherever he ends up but Thailand seems a strange choice if it is really there.
if they are anything like the pitches in Malaysia and the weather there,he”ll need that good luck especially playing in the evening as most games are when the humidity and heat can be oppressive.
At least he can get a good post game massage😂😂from his Mrs of course.

Club shop looks impressive but no photos it appears of the pitch😂

Hmm, a windy miserable day training at Squires Gate In January or a balmy afternoon training in Thailand followed by little relaxation on the beach. I think he’s got the right idea if this is true.

True but the counter side to that is playing in these temperatures…but then - 2 c on Wednesday night presuming( hopefully) the game goes ahead😂might be not so great.
I wish him luck wherever he goes,he definitely owes us nothing.

You’re correct you didn’t bring her up, but you were trying to make the posters that did into something they probably aren’t.

No I wasn’t.

I was pointing out that I found it ridiculous some peoples only contribution to this thread was about his partner. That was all.
 
The only thing I ask of Kenneth is that when he goes he posts a short message saying goodbye and if he feels it appropriate to also say thanks (not that he needs to thank us). You know, like Jerry did and as any other decent player or manager would do when they leave a club.

Imagine leaving a club with whom you have built an affinity to move on to bigger things and to not have the common decency to acknowledge your time with the club and to say a few words of farewell. I mean what kind of a snivelling cnut of a twait would do something like that?

His missus will hate it there. Buriram is in the back end of nowhere. The town itself is small with a population of around 30k. No shopping malls, cinemas that will show films in English, designer clothes shops and she will have to buy her clothes from the Thai equvalent of Tesco. Locals are country bumpkins and very few will speak English. There is a very small expat community but these are mostly males married to local Thai girls. Bangkok is a 5 and a half hour drive away on a good day (that's if you can survive the journey as the locals drive like maniacs) but you can get a flight to Bangkok. Once the novelty wears off, I can see there being problems and he could move to one of the Bangkok based teams.

We could hire a Comms team similar to the recruitment agency we got to do the super duper stats on Critchley coming back…
 
Had to laugh at the podcast views at the great loss of kenny .He was very poor in the championship and most of us were moaning about it week in week out . I think he was worse than poor he was mostly terrible with his distribution being pathetic .Yes he had a few good games this season the best i have seen him play but there really are some poor teams in this division probably the worst ever . I have always maintained our fans seem to have memories of goldfish someone has 1 good game and the previous 10 are forgotten . Worse case of this was when madine scored a rare goal the reaction was laughable from certain posters

You are on the coast in a tourist hotspot

This is deepest darkest Thailand

Buriram is a small city in Isan, the mainly rural northeastern region of Thailand, which is the largest, most populous and least visited in the country. Many of the street vendors and tuk tuk/taxi drivers in Bangkok come from this poorer part of Thailand, and some of the most famous Thai dishes, like papaya salad, come from here as well. Unless you are a very serious slow traveler, a short stay of 1 or 2 nights is sufficient to enjoy the main highlights in the area. The main tourist attraction in the province are the ruins of 1,000-year-old Phanom Rung, the most important Khmer temple complex in Thailand, and we strongly recommend also visiting the nearby Prasat Hin Meuang Tam, another exceptional ancient Khmer temple. If you’re in Buriram on a weekend, be sure to attend a soccer match at the Buriram FC stadium, the most modern in the country, and enjoying the laidback provincial atmosphere on Walking Street -weekend’s night market-. Buriram is visited by very few foreigners, so while strolling around don’t be surprised if you notice a lot of curious local glances on you, or even if some locals -especially students- strike a friendly interrogation in English and end up asking for the mandatory selfie. Certainly the much hyped “Land of smiles” slogan is not that true in many tourist spots in Thailand, but rest assured that in non touristy Buriram you’ll get tons of warm smiles. With a poor public transport system, getting around Buriram province can be a headache if you don’t have your own vehicle, so the best option may be to rent a car or motorcycle in the city, since there is not much traffic and the roads are good.

So, has he left for there?
 
Watched Buriram FC a few times. Very good team, fantastic ground (Thunder Castle) great supporters, non stop chanting.
Admission was about 200 baht (£3) No brainer for Kenny, he'll do good and they'll love him over there.
