JoeyB Posted 22 January 2007 Share Posted 22 January 2007 If we’re actually serious about a promotion challenge IF the takeover goes through then we’ll need far better players who than Joey Gudjohnson. Joey, no thanks. why is everyone saying joey is bad? i dont get it last season everybody was singing his praises he kept us going or can you not remember that? joey is a good midfield player who would constantly give 120% on the pitch, he was leicester engine room, even tho relied heavly upon joey he still came out immense. i for one would love joey to come back with him and williams playing together in cm i think thats one of the best pairngs in the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not check out one of the many threads about him which probably begin with a post along the lines of 'Joiey iz da best, we is krazy2 let imgo2anuva club n he rlly luvs dis club n he neva wntd2go cuz i no he luv it here!!! E is propa braaap innit n e scord frm the harth way line!!! Bet nunov u cud do dat!'. In reality he was mediocre. He had good games, but more poor ones to be honest. For every good goal he scored there were 15-20 examples of him shooting well over, well wide when a teammate was well placed to receive a pass etc etc oh fook it I can't be arsed with this... yes he's the greatest player ever and I'm absolutely miffed that with the best player in the world on our books we managed to finish so low in the table!!!

I agree with TPH, not that i would mind having him back, but it's not end of the world, he was great at time and also poor. With additional cash i'm sure we can find someone better!!

brookfox Posted 22 January 2007 Share Posted 22 January 2007 Looks like it's been confirmed, £150k on a 3.5 year deal. Now he aint no world beater but for that kind of money surely he'd add something to our squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox in a Box Posted 22 January 2007 Share Posted 22 January 2007 .....scored a few yes, but i think we are a better team with weso hughes and williams, cheers for the half way line memories joey and its time to move on. Mind you with Mandy on his way who knows who we'll get! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geo V Posted 22 January 2007 Share Posted 22 January 2007 How can Burnley fail now? The creative midfield skills of Djema x2 and Joey (not from Friends) and the mesmeric skills of the goal scorer supreme, Ade Panicbuyi. Time to get to the bookies and put them up for relegation On a serious note, Joey is a good player but he seems to be one of those footballers that moves so often that you think he just wants more money, more money and moooooooooo money! Short term deals, free transfers, approaching the end of his contract etc etc. He seems like too much trouble and not the type of player that you can count on. Also Im not convinced the reason he left us is because we didnt offer him a deal. Maybe not the crazy deal he deserved but Im sure even CL would have wanted to keep our player of the season and a midfielder who got around double figures in goals? Anyway, good luck to him but I get the feeling he will have moved on somewhere else by the summer when he is forced to live amongst the Burnley slums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longsiders1882 Posted 22 January 2007 Share Posted 22 January 2007 Well in truth he sounds like he could add something we are currently missing. At 150K you know you are not getting Fabregas Not sure I appreciate the club like Burnley comments. A club who have finished above you in the league regularly in recent seasons, who in their history have won more than you can ever hope to, a club who payed their debts rather than abuse the administration route. Come on guys, show other clubs the respect you'd hope your own club would get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its all fun mate but without wanting to get too deep into a Burnley/Leicester war of words, your club has hardly done anything in the last few decades.

brookfox Posted 22 January 2007 Share Posted 22 January 2007 The problem I always had with Joey was who to partner him with. He's not creative enough to be your attacking midfielder, nor defensive enough to be your defensive one. Put him with Williams and we're too weak in the middle, put him with Johnson (our defensive midfielder! ) and we don't create. Still he did score from the half way line!

A club who have finished above you in the league regularly in recent seasons, who in their history have won more than you can ever hope to, a club who payed their debts rather than abuse the administration route. Come on guys, show other clubs the respect you'd hope your own club would get. Perhaps if clubs like you found out the truth instead of spouting and following the tabloid trash you would gain some respect. Let's look at the events of Leicester Leicester City had already gone down when their money troubles came to light. The recently completed Walkers Stadium (worth around £32m of the £50m debt the club had at the time of administration) the collapse of the ITV Digital deal and the cost of premiership wages in a division that could not support them cost Leicester dear. But all hope was not lost. The Board of Directors at that time had agreed with the players and backroom staff that there would be a wage deferral of 25% and a complete bonus deferral until the end of that season. They also agreed with all but one of their creditors a repayment scheme that would mean Leicester would avoid going into administration, whilst ensuring that the creditors would be repaid in full in the fullness of time. There was only one creditor who refused the repayment. Eric Hall, agent of the recently sacked Dennis Wise, was furious that his client had been wrongly dismissed for breaking team-mate Callum Davidson's cheek-bone. He was still owed money from the sale of Wise to Leicester and refused the creditor agreement. He decided to serve a winding up petition that would have led the club into bankruptcy and extinction. His reasoning for this I cannot comment on and my only hope is that it was not malicious. This caused the directors to have to apply for creditor protection. Once this was done, administrators were appointed. The majority of the playing squad were made available on free transfers and even Muzzy Izzet was made available for transfer if the right offer came in. A large portion of the Non Playing staff were asked to leave immediately and the players even subsidised the wages of the kit cleaning staff to ensure they turned out in fresh shirts. Over the next four months, Leicester lived day to day. There were times when the club came close to going out of business in this time. Fortunately, the Lineker Consortium managed to raise enough funding from local businessmen, former players like Emile Heskey and even the fans who weighed in with more than £100k in support of the club. The administrators then got agreement from the creditors for debt repayment and the new company was given the go ahead to come out of administration and it should have been plain sailing for Leicester City from then on. It wasn't. Leicester were accused of cheating their way out of debt by every other club in the first division. There was talk of points docking and even relegation! As there was no law regarding football clubs in administration, nothing could be done, except the Football League took an unprecedented step of banning Leicester from signing any players on any terms before the end of the season. This was perceived to be punishment for any wrong-doing by the club.

Perhaps then you ought to appreciate that being so worried about the fate of your club is not a pleasant thing... to cheapen and simplify it as much as you did is ridiculous. I only hope that one day you might experience it and achieve a little perspective while you're there. Enjoy the Leicester rejects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
