The Real, Actual Joe Cole [Coventry City]

[Shackanory]

We can discuss money until hell freezes over, at the end of the day, we all thought Cole was a lazy cunt and couldn't be arsed, and now we know why. He didn't want to be here. Although it all looks to me like an excuse for why he was playing like ****e. Wonder what his excuse will be next time.

You'd be surprised how often it happens to be honest. Rarely does a multimillion pound payoff get paid in one go.

Quite the opposite, I'd say. If you look at the accounts released a few days ago, nearly £10m went to the previous management team. In one go.

The purpose of selling off these assets (as in Cole) is to get them off your books, otherwise you might as well keep hold of them.

That's to management. Players are different. Managers don't normally go directly from one club to another, players do. To be fair, I didn't say it never gets pad off in one go, just that it's a rarity.

I fail to see the reason for your distinction between managers and players. Staff are staff regardless of their job title.

This is a pretty boring debate which will only get resolved by scrutinising the club's accounts, which I'm not gonna do.

So let's call it a day.

So, is this a good time to ressurect that "joe cole is a ****" thread we had so much fun with back around 2008/09?

Edit - this one http://www.est1892.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=38947

Christ, was it really 2007

Oh, and I also found this. Killer bees!!!!!

Funny thread that actually. Shame most of the posters from back then took their ball home, but still, one or two familiar suspects

Is he your brother or something?

He's a diving, bleating, pikey ****!

I can't agree with that

He is a diving, bleating, pikey, cheating ****.

**** or not, he would improve our first 11 no end.

And I didn't see him dive once watching the last England game - in fact there were a few times he could have probably gone down but didn't. And we are being somewhat hypocritical when our captain is getting a bad rep recently for going down a little easily......

For me, Cole behind Torres =

Always rated him.

Do they realise he will get injured walking off the team bus, when he stops to pick up his cigarette he just dropped
