[Archived] Phil Jones

[Gav]

Bye Bye Phil.

Thank you for keeping us up.

I'd credit Samba more than Jones for keeping us up, but I understand the sentiment BPF.

[bob fleming]

Oh dear, get writing your will then.

Bye Bye Phil.

Thank you for keeping us up.

Poor Vinjay...

All done and dusted then?

[John]

Man Utd?

[AggyBlue]

Man Utd?

I'd rather he went to Utd than Liverpool.

LFC TV Website

"Kenny Dalglish is eager to sign the Chorley-born centre-half before he takes part in the European U21 Championship in Denmark, which begins this weekend."

That semi official line demonstrates that things are moving very quickly now Bob.

*Not really*

I agree. Much as I dislike Utd they are the biggest club in the country and one of the biggest in the world;they win things and are consistently good. Liverpool seem to feel they have a divine right to every decent player and haven't won anything for years. if/when Jones goes I'd far rather it were to Utd

Be a good test of BPF's sources. Guess it's time to wait and see.

Although he managed to get out of the previous 'rafa dead cert, signed contract' stuff fairly easily.

PhillipL has also been very quiet recently? Wonder what he's up to.

Looking that way Ozvaldo. I'd prefer it if he went to Liverpool. Can't be doing with United. However as Kenny alegedly said to Shearer (sorry no links, paper cuttings or Youtube videos) when he was mulling over signing for Newcastle or staying at Rovers - "well, you cannae really go wrong either way".

Oh well. There was a point towards the end of last season, a game at Ewood, when Phil got the ball on the edge of his own box and ran to the edge of the opposition area. He made it look easy, it was effortless. It was then I realised that we probably wouldn't see him at Ewood come August. He really is top class.

Still, he's not gone yet. Maybe the Chairman will pull him to one side and have a word?

Are we not all waiting for Rafa to come to Ewood if we are to believe "the sources"

It is perfectly possible for sources to tell you one thing and then for situations to change. that's why, unless something was about to be announced, I think I'd steer clear of posting any info i had (not that I have any or any contacts inside the club!)

Left with no alternative but to leave the club, what a very sad day, as the cash hungry monsters gather for their feast.

Did the cash hungry monsters, program their man, to ensure that this lamb, of the highest value, was led to his fate.

Who's next you have to ask ?

He has an alternative JAL- say no to any transfer.

If he feels that badly about the way Kean treated him, why has he been discussing his future with Kean? Why say that he would like to move ONLY if a bid of £16 million arrives- would you not say "I want to move at all costs?"

There is only ONE person who has chosen to leave Blackburn Rovers FC and that is Phil Jones, as Vince McMahon famously said and I have adapted "Jones screwed Jones"

Get rid of the manager and he'll say no. Until then, he has no other option imy9.

[imy9]

Hypothetical JAL, no one reaches 16 million- Venkys won't sell, what does young Jones do-stay or ask to leave? Point I'm getting at is that either way this will be used to beat Venkys and Kean when it's about Jones.

[Amo]

You're really sticking to that?

Funny how so many other respected, experienced managers have also tried and failed to keep their star players. But hey, it's obviously Kean's fault.

Just accept that loyalty in football is dead. People are naive to assume that Phil Jones was an honest Blackburn lad who wouldn't have his head turned by the top-four. It's not pleasant but there's no getting away from it.

[Tom]

Just stop you are embarrassing yourself now JAL.

This is all about Phil jones not Steve Kean.

Left with no alternative? Give me a break

No you, along with one or two others are totally naive in believing this mob. Why get slagged off by your manager when you are young and doing reasonable well, take it that you see this as reasonably acceptable practice.

As for saying no as every hour passes hes going .

No, because I don't believe your baseless story for a second.

And as a man who didn't give Jones a hope in hell, your credibility is zero at best.

[alexanders]

As someone mentioned earlier: jw was still in charge in january..

Baseless

May I ask, do you profit in any way from Jones leaving.

As someone mentioned earlier: jw was still in charge in january..

Maybe he along with Tom Finn knew what was going to happen, didnt agree with it and thus jumped ship. You never know.

May I ask where you get your stories from?

Put up, or shut up.

I've said it before; but it really wouldn't surprise me if you were that knob who asked Steve Kean when he was going to resign.

So. Are you that knob?

[Billy Castell]

I will be majorly ____ed off if Jones went, and Santa Cruz came in. I think I had better not look at this website again until the end of the transfer window at least, and play FM. This is getting immensely depressing.

I'll ask the same question again why did the senior players do nothing to help Jones? Are they not the ones controlling the team and tactics? Why are those same players saying such positive things about Kean- something does not fit.

[Amo]

Baseless

Where's your undeniable proof?

May I ask, do you profit in any way from Jones leaving.

Yeah, I'm his agent.

Where, have you got links?
