So on the one hand you believe that Derry has been unfit since the CP incident, yet on the other hand you dont believe Kelly has been? In fact didnt someone report on the list that Derry himself had said he was fit?
Make your mind up mate. As for Kelly, do you think it would be fair for Wise to come out and say, when asked why Kelly isnt playing, that actually he was a mercenary bastard and refused to reduce his salary for a season? Has Wise come out since and said that is the reason? No it was Bates. It is called being 'diplomatic', which Wise can be when not in the heat of an post match press conference. Was Kelly training with the first team all season? Was Kelly match fit? I dunno about the first but he certainly wasn't match fit, so if asked if Kelly is in the squad, would it actually be a lie to say that he wasnt (yet) fit? No, it's not the whole truth of the matter, but Wise was not in a position to give the whole truth, and frankly it is no one else's business but Bates/Harvey, Wise/Poyet and Kelly/his agent. Indeed Kelly may well have been given the option as to what the official line was - do they tell everyone the real reason he wont be picked, or shall we say he isn't fit? I would also suggest that this kind of thing goes on all the time in football. I will stand by my original assertion, as far as I am concerned Wise is an honest straightforward bloke. We need more people like that in football and we certainly need that kind of uncompromising attitude to get a squad of players together who act like a team and pull in the same direction. If we do that then we will be back up at the top sooner rather than later. -----Original Message----- From: Phill Shields [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 09 May 2007 18:38 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LU] Revelations or Allegations (take your pick...) You know full well that Derry hasnt played how the f*ck can he when he is on crutches. Neither of us can say what really happened - we have made different assumptions on what we have heard. I expressed my view, thats what we do on the list is that ok with you? Lets talk about Kelly then. Since Barnsley away he hasnt played because he was "injured" or "unfit". Funny, Kelly doesnt realise that because when anyone cares to ask him he says there is nothing wrong with him. Someone must be telling porkies - who do you think it is? I didnt actually say Wise had retracted the sh*te he came out with after Palace, it was Harvey that tried to limit the damage. Wise would never admit he has said or done anything wrong because he is far too arrogant. Think about it Mark, if he couldnt name & shame why open his gob in the first place. To gain sympathy for poor little Dennis just like the Nicholls saga. If you think Wise came out looking good in both these cases you shouldnt go into PR mate, you would make much. It did of course tarnsih our name again, along with getting sent to the stands, moaning about refs etc. So fact, Kelly privately has insisted he is fit and Wise says he isnt. For contractual reasons obviously Wise has Kelly by the short & curlies but in my view Kelly is in Wise's bad books and thats him finished. Do you think Kelly deserves that, how do you think existing or prospective new players will feel about playing for Wise. He is a real man manager - yeah, little man syndrome mate. So come on Mark.
