I fid it amazing that some of our fans are so desperate to find something to attribute our bad form to that they make up ridiculous rumours like these. This isn't an attack on the original poster, more his idiotic barman friend who has clearly fabricated this story.
The facts are simple. DJ has wanted to go to Blackpool since the day his loan finished. Anyone kidding themselves otherw*s* is deluded. I can see why some people wanted to believe that he was a changed man - he's proved he can score goals at this level. But the fact is his feelings haven't changed since the day he told Blackpool's local paper that he would rather play anywhere other than Leicester. The only thing that has kept him at this club for so long is his greed; he wanted to cash in on the lucrative contract he was given. And who can blame him?
Because we haven't had a great start to the season - and it must be noted that we haven't played badly enough to warrant our position (I've seen us play far, far worse under Pearson and win - Reading away springs to mind) people want to find an excuse, there must be disharmony in the camp etc.
It couldn't just be because Sousa is trying to get the team playing a completely different style of football than the majority have played for the past few seasons? Or that the luck that went in our favour last season is starting to work in other teams favour?
No, apparently every one of our players hates the manager and Fryatt, Campbell and Sousa must have had a 3-way melee in the tunnel during some unknown game, either at home or away.
Last season was fantastic. We carried a lot of our good form into the season and we did extremely well. But as with so many teams, we are suffering from 'second season syndrome' and, coupled with a new manager trying to instill new ideas and a new hierarchy at the club, we've had a poor start to the season. This doesn't annoy me - I like to think I'm a rational man.
What annoys me is the supposed fans of this club that prefer to ignore the rational reasons as to why the club might be struggling in this transitional period and instead seem to revel in fraudulent, sensationalist stories that make the manager, the chairman, the new owners and the players look like a bunch of ***** based on the fact that one of Paulo Sousa's eyes was slightly darker than the other in a ****ing interview.
Plus I ****ing hate that they've made me waste 15 minutes of my ****ing life spewing this rant out as well.
