Rate let's get us heads together including our leader, we have a battle ahead of us and we certainly need leaders of the likes of Nathan Smith mould a true Viking.Chris Eagles quality, Foleys drive and enthusiasm BUT the last third we are lacking a Tom Pope.

>>we are lacking a Tom Pope.

Every one from as long ago as last June knows that we are lacking a clinicle finisher. That is except the chairman. If we had one we'd be knocking on the door of promotion.

We have been lacking a Tom Pope since the day 'the clueless one' forced him out.

He forced him out by failing to double his salary?

 

To be honest we've found two since he left, just haven't kept either of those, the first has declined in the same way as Pope and the second looks like he could now shoot Bradford to promotion.

You are missing the point. Jones scored some useful goals but he wasn't a leader on the pitch, didn't see him do as much defending at corners as Tom for example.

Pope is past it!! move on

[Rampant Zebra]

You are missing the point too, I didn't say we should get Pope back, we just need a player with his attributes. Although he would bust a gut to help us even if he is "past it" which is what we need now. I wonder if you would tell him that to his face?

That's not how I recall it. Smurf threatened to half his salary. Bury matched it, so he went there.

Ask around that's far from the facts.

Well, Norman disagrees with you. I know he tells fibs sometimes though.

He offered him less than his contract at the time, Bury offered him a damn sight more.

Tom disagrees with you too.

No he doesn't, read the article, there is no mention of Bury's offer.

[Family Stand Terrier]

He offered him less than his contract at the time' date=' Bury offered him a damn sight more.[/quote']

 

You said he left because we wouldn't double his salary. Any way of substantiating that?

 

I said he left because Norman threatened to half his salary, for which I've provided you with plenty of evidence to back that up.

 

If our top scorer had been offered an extension on the same terms by Vale, compared to this offer from Bury that was "a damn sight more" would he have still gone? No one knows the answer to that. Given that you're asking to deal in the facts, it would be good if you could do that, instead of going off speculation and assumption.
