Dicky 0 Posted June 17, 2014 Just got back from a stag weekend in Magaluf - it is the biggest sh1thole in the world. Out there, met Howard Kendall - got talking, he said Joe Royle was meeting him there the following lunchtime, so we headed back and got talking with him. Switched on chap - like his appointment. Asked him about transfers - he said it will be quiet during world cup and Adams is in US at the moment, but he did say Arsenal want Ruddy (likely to go), Snoddy to Hull, Ricky out on loan (hopefully score some goals and increase his value). Thinks Fer, Tettey etc will stay. Wes wants out but they want him to stay. Big surprise, he thinks Jordan Rhodes in (he is best mates with his Dad). So, there you go, from the horse''s mouth.

Dicky 0 Posted June 17, 2014 They think Wes can do a job in Champs, which I guess he can. Surprised he thinks Ruddy will go - if he does, they will bring in another keeper, not go straight for Rudd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lake district canary 4,531 Posted June 17, 2014 If true, this sounds as if Joe Royle hasn''t got stuck in yet, just repeating rumours etc that we all know. Time will tell....... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the bristol nest 0 Posted June 17, 2014 Thanks Dicky. I like the Howard Kendall in Magaluf link. I believe you. I look forward to seeing Fer/Tetty still here next season. Ricky loaned out to the Dutch league I would guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GrantsMoustache 0 Posted June 17, 2014 Google shows people meeting Howard Kendell in Magaluf in 2012, 2009, and 2005. So I believe this story, Howard Kendell obviously loves Magaluf. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tetteys Jig 830 Posted June 17, 2014 Lol, all that seems very odd!Ruddy to Arsenal sounds at least plausible, Schezney isn''t a shoe in starter, so Ruddy would get chances, i''d take RvW going off on loan if it means Rhodes joining and Fer staying. I''d take Snodgrass leaving tbh too. I''m not sure why we''re so fixated with making Wes stay though.I''ve always felt a bit weird when i''ve revealed my miniscule bits of ITK information before (Blake rejecting a loan move, Cahill to Chelsea a month early) so I guess we won''t ever know if you''re for real. It''s a bit of off season fun whatever way it turns out though!As you say, you''re not a liar... we''ll see... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gingerpele 0 Posted June 17, 2014 Shocking if what you say is genuine. Not because of what you''ve said but because how you know it.Can''t believe he would just tell you all that.

I suspect that he has yet to be integrated at CR and is just talking generalities - as when he said a week or so ago "We want to keep Snodgrass because I am told he is valued". In other words he has yet to make any judgements for himself because he hasn''t started the job properly yet. Anything he knows is just the same as the rest of us. After all, he is to be a consultant not a manager. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dubai Mark 0 Posted June 17, 2014 Dicky, let me ask you.......had I posted a similar story about bumping in to a member of the City back room staff here in Dubai (very possible as a real haunt for many current and ex football players, and I have bumped into many over the years), and he had divulged information similar to what you have listed, would you believe me or, at the very least be just a little sceptical when considering that all of this information is just what has been posted on many rumour sites over recent weeks ?

Gingerpele 0 Posted June 17, 2014 I wasn''t abusing you... Where did you get that idea from?An employee at the club, especially one in his position shouldn''t be discussing transfer plans with fans. If that were some office person who overheard a conversation they''d be sacked. If I met Joe Royal in the street I probably wouldn''t even ask him about who''s coming in and out as I wouldn''t expect him to in a million years. And of course it''s sensitive information, saying Ruddy who most of us were assuming would stay is probably off to arsenal, and he expects us to sign Rhodes...And saying you don''t lie means nothing. Why do people think saying they don''t lie helps them? If anything it actually makes me think you are lying. And also you can''t post what you like, another odd thing to say. Go on start posting racist abuse, or swearing at people. Go on, you can post what you like... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Katie Borkins 1 Posted June 17, 2014 I met Joe Royle in a Magaluf drum ''n'' bass club, it was pretty loud and I only got every other word but I think he said something about Ruddy leaving and us signing someone from another club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viva Marc Libbra 0 Posted June 17, 2014 Some people are so precious. If Joe Royle volunteered information to some bloke he met in Magluf I''m sure he didn''t expect him to sign the Official Secrets Act.It''s probably one of the most interesting threads recently so get off the OPs back ffs.
