TrentVilla Posted February 1, 2013 Author Moderator Share Posted February 1, 2013 Not heard that up here, I find it hard to imagine that spam face would walk away he seems the sort to stick around as long as possible like the uninvited weirdo at a party that lurks in the kitchen.

PauloBarnesi Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 They didn’t sign a player because he failed the medical; something wrong with his eyesight; strange for someone who has played 300 plus games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PauloBarnesi Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 (edited) Peterborough director of football Barry Fry has labelled Nottingham Forest's owners "a disgrace to the game". Posh are furious that Forest pulled out of a deal to sign midfielder George Boyd after an "inconclusive eye test". Fry refused to blame Forest boss Alex McLeish, instead choosing to direct his ire at owners, the Al-Hasawi family, headed up by chairman Fawaz Al-Hasawi. "I don't know how they can call themselves fit and proper," said former Birmingham manager Fry. Alex has been a gentleman over this, it was the owners who pulled out and they are a disgrace to the game. "I can't understand why they called it off 12 hours after his medical and after Alex spent three weeks trying to get the player. "We've never had any problems with George and he's in bits. Alex still wanted to do the deal but the owners said no. "Alex has been having rows with them for a couple of days about transfer targets. I wouldn't be surprised if he walked over this." McLeish, who has been in charge at the City Ground for five weeks, quickly dismissed any suggestion he would quit over the incident. "Fawaz is a strong individual, he is the owner and isn't a successful businessman for no reason," McLeish told the Forest website. "Sometimes he will say no to my requests and suggestions and sometimes I will say no to his because I am a strong manager. "If that's the level of the alleged 'bust-up' then I guess we'll be reading about more managers having them with their owners this week." Boyd, who had a loan spell at the East Midlands side at the back end of the 2009-10 season, had been in Nottingham since 10:00 GMT on Thursday to undergo a medical. But news of Forest's decision to pull out of the move emerged two hours before the 23:00 transfer deadline. It is understood Forest were only willing to sign the 27-year-old on loan. Crystal Palace had also attempted to sign Boyd, whose contract expires in the summer, but the former Stevenage playmaker opted to talk to McLeish's side. Posh chairman Darragh MacAnthony has said he would be happy to offer a new deal to Boyd, but has also revealed another Championship club would be interested in taking him on loan next week. Nottingham Forest said they had no reaction to make to Fry's comments. Analysis Colin FrayBBC Radio Nottingham "Whatever the truth behind the George Boyd fiasco, and Forest may have a perfectly acceptable explanation, the perception of Forest from other clubs, players and fans will have been adversely affected by what happened on deadline night. "It ends a January window which has been far from what many fans will have been expecting. "As late as lunchtime on deadline day, manager Alex McLeish wanted three players before the window shut, and he got none. "With the likes of Lee Camp, Brendan Moloney, Jermaine Jenas, James Coppinger, Robbie Findley and Alan Hutton all moving on, Forest are left with a smaller squad than they had in December, and though the loan window opens soon, the chances of a play-off push seem to have diminished through January."

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I wouldn't blame him for walking. What a daft reason for turning down a (rather good) player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Don't think he will, will want his pay off. Although, the fat one he got off us means he can do whatever he wants do the rest of his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonic_bouma Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 McLeish said: "Both parties entered into the relationship in good faith, however, there was a difference in the understanding of the development strategy of the football club" I think what you mean Alex is the chairman disagreed with your development strategy of accepting defeat before kick off. Well its going swimmingly for us since he left our club, I wonder if Forest will get relegated now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
