Thatcher is announcing his decision tommorow, with Man City and Pompey fighting for him. I'd be very very shcked if he came out and said that he wants to stay here. I can see him going Man City as it's more of a lure with that magnificant stadium and being more central. Pompey is a shit hole and is in the middle of nowhere.
Teeno said:IMO Thatcher is a very good player, but I don't think he is what Man city are looking for. Thier fans expect better than last season, they expect top 1/2 challengeing for europe. Thatcher imo tho would be a great buy for Pompy as thier aim is simply to stay up and Thatcher is capable of playing in a team that can do that.

Yeah Muzzy, you unloyal twat for not leaving two years ago :? :roll:webmaster said:Teeno said:You are forgeting that Muzzy left because we didn't renew his contract.
No he didn't, he left because his contract ended. If there was any chance of him staying the club would have offered him what they could afford, but he'd already decided he was going.
If Muzzy was really interested in doing what was in the club's best interests he'd have gone to Middlesbrough two years ago when we were desperate for the money, but he stayed because he didn't want to move to the North East. That wasn't loyalty, it was for his own personal reasons.

As usual Craig reads something I wrote and decides I've said something different.
I DIDN'T say it was disloyal of him not to leave.
I did say it was in the club's best interests for him to leave at that time, so if he wanted to do what was best for the club he'd have gone. But he chose to stay for his own reasons, not for the club's reasons.
If he'd left we may have avoided going into administration, and no player is worth risking the club's future for.
In hindsight it may have been a good thing that he stayed, because we may be in a better position now than we would have been if he'd left. But at the time it was in the best interests of the club for him to leave.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing though and totally useless unless you use it as experience. Muzzy could have got us a lot of money two years ago but he didn't. I wonder though how many extra season tickets were sold due to the fact that Muzzy was playing for LCFC? I'd say quite a few over two seasons. Muzzy cannot be compared to Thatcher just like 8 years cannot be compared to 1 year.
