Jores Okore

[Toronto Villa]

At a time where we still mathematically hadn't been relegated anyone who decides Kieran Richardson is viable option over Grealish or Sinclair or even Adama on that side of the pitch is moron. And then who doesn't want to expose kids to the atmosphere but continued to pick players like Bacuna that helped generate said atmosphere is a moron. So I'm going to stick with my theory that Black was a bellend and while Okore doesn't get a complete pass I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt here.

"A possible consequence for what happened is a fine" I think it's now ever more clear what happened. Fuck him right off with the other wankers.

Okore is dillusional in my opinion. If he does get a move to the premiership it will be at best to the likes of Palace or Bournemouth and then as a rarely used squad player.

[Leicester_Villian]

Makes me wonder why we did so badly with Champions League Bucana and Mr Ego himself ......... let him rot in the U21's

Okore, huge twat and another with an attitude problem, get gone please before you go for nothing.

1. It's a little disingenuous to say he's been speaking to the foreign press. He's been speaking to the press in his home country. No one in the UK gives a f##k (quite reasonably)

2. The bit quoted is an excerpt from one half of an interview spread over 2 halves. The first half was published on Tuesday. When I can sit at a desk to type on a proper keyboard I'll translate both bits.

3. If the whole refusnik thing was as clear cut as some would have it, the club wouldn't still be considering a fine nearly 2 months later given how quickly Agbonlahor got a hit in the payslip for pissing about in his own time.

I was gonna give him a second chance but he can fuck off now if he can't keep his, or his agents trap shut. Waste of space. He's not yet even proven he's premiership quality. Frankly a whole, uninterrupted season of slogging in the championship would do that fucker the world of good.
Pack him up, ship him off. Good riddance. Every last twonk with the wrong attitude needs to go pretty sharpish. Thankfully I think Tony concurs with this and I'd imagine any incoming manager will too.

[TB]

Yes, a possible consequence is a fine. Another possible consequence is that he won't be fined by the club at all. Yet another possible consequence is that the interim manager is asked to leave the club without even being allowed to clear his desk. Unlikely, but possible. He didn't say that, nor should he. He just made a statement (probably just answering a question from the journalist) about a possible outcome of a dispute with the interim manager.

Had he said: "The most likely consequence for what happened is a fine" you'd have a clear admission of guilt. This is just him saying that he might get fined - if the club goes with Black's versions of events.

I'm not saying that he's currently good enough, but I do understand a 23-year old player wanting to play as much as possible (especially someone rejecting a Chelsea offer because he wanted more time on the pitch than he'd be likely to get there). I can also picture an outspoken Dane asking the manager without too much courtesy why he should be on the bench, and the manager wanting to establish his authority and possibly over-reacting.

Okore, huge twat and another with an attitude problem, get gone please before you go for nothing.

Or, a player with a passion for playing who has been frustrated by the managerial clusterfuckery at his inept current club.
I would personally like to see this guy playing for a season with us, rather than the cameo appearances he has made; I suspect there is still a decent player there with good management / coaching.

[tomd2103]

Miles better bet than Clark and Baker, despite being three and two years younger than them respectively.  With the right players around him, I still think he could good enough when we hopefully go back up into the top flight.  Would be disappointed to see him go.

[Drummond]

Clark and Baker would do well as a pair in the Championship. Okore can bugger off in my view.

[oswald funkletrumpet]

he can fuck off

average at best and a lumbering oaf who reads the game as well as fairly rubbish footballer who cant read the game

There's hundreds of players frustrated with lack of opportunity, very few pull the billy big bollocks trick and refuse to take the seat on the bench.

[Malandro]

I'm amazed we were relegated, so many players of outstanding self belief and ability.
I'd like to get them all in a room and ask them - exactly whose fault was it?

[LeeB]

I think it's not too hard to join the dots when you consider his recent musings.

Look, I liked him and think he's been a little hard done by, but I see absolutely no reason to disbelieve Black.

That he has spent a large chunk of two years on our bench, under three different managers with few complaints.

A week after Black is put in charge and apparently he's going on strike because he's been asked to do the same thing that he's been doing for most of the season?

Not for me Clive.

Few complaints that have been made public perhaps? I seem to remember him griping about not getting enough games before anyway, under Lambert.
