Waveney Canary 0 Posted May 15, 2012 I heard about this froma reliable source at the club. The following is gospel truth.The players have called a meeting the complained about the new strip that it was itchy and they didnt like the fabric softner used. Lambert is demanding that the club use Tesco own band fabric softner or he is walking out and joining Villa.U heard if hear first. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter2704 0 Posted May 15, 2012 He never said it was a players meeting, just that he had a meeting at 10. Could be anywhere about anything! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,718 Posted May 15, 2012 Well if it was on Twitter it must be true as after all the only more reliable source for facts is this messageboard ! [:''(] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Old Shuck 183 Posted May 15, 2012 Probably standard pre-close season meeting? Fitness programmes and personal targets, confirmation of when pre-season starts, where the tour will be etc etc, dates for the 12/13 Sky TV shoot, that sort of thing. Guess contracts as well-who is going, who is staying. We like to get players in early so guess we offer the same privilige to those we are not retaining, gives them time to get themselves fixed up with a new club. Or, of course, it could be an hour, two hour meeting with major annoucements made and a press conference to follow!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All Pilkington said was that he was called in for a meeting, he didn''t mention anything about the rest of the players.I would imagine it is a contract thing.

87canary 0 Posted May 15, 2012 Lets be honest, it''s probably Waitrose fabric softener. Delia does star in their adverts after all.On a serious note, looks like individual meetings.

AJ 1,218 Posted May 15, 2012 I am fairly confident this is just the usual end of season procedure in which players/management will talk about the future and what not.So, I''m guessing by the end of the week we will know who is staying and who is departing from the club. I hope we do keep Whitbread, although he''s said he wants to stay so hopefully all is good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Militant Canary 0 Posted May 15, 2012 Just heard that Josh Dawkin has also been called to a meeting.Seems that everyone is being spoken too individually. Standard end of season stuff by the sound of it. Still, it offers an interesting (if very slight) insight into how the players are managed: all of them being kept in the loop concerning overall plans, whilst catering to and dealing with their individual needs and issues.

Lambert is very much still at the helm. If he was off, you''d think it''d be left for MR X to sort out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yellow blood 0 Posted May 15, 2012 There''s still one game left to play so they can''t all pack up their buckets and spades just yet. Apart from Drury who was told by Lambert last night he had been dropped for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Militant Canary 0 Posted May 15, 2012 Just heard that Matt Ball has been released. Apparently, he has just announced it on twitter. Shame to see him go and good luck to him- always a very professional young man.This seems to prove that these meetings cover contract talks- so, Lambert''s involved.

Militant Canary 0 Posted May 15, 2012 Also, just heard from my lil'' bro that Richard Brindley ''feels really confident about my [his] future all of a sudden'' (or something to that effect).Obviously been told that he can stay and given words of encouragement by Lambert- perhaps he''s in his plans for next season?Interesting stuff.

N city till I die 0 Posted May 15, 2012 Yet again someone has typed wrong information again, now I cant really be arsed to go onto twitter and see what Pilkington really said but it would be nice if people just typed the facts and not give out wrong info.
