Eastleigh Owl Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 So, first of all was a rumour in the Telegraph which I passed off as some southern sh it stirrer trying to cause unrest. Then Staton I think picked up on the story and I thought was giving it more credence than what it was due. Now Giddings has jumped on the bandwagon, thought Carlos had made it clear that he wasn't bothered about himself only the team which I believe is true. So, we are left with what scenarios, 1) Carlos thinks only of the team and his own performance and he's pissed off with continuously answering the same question. 2) Carlos has decided to call it quits after the play offs, he wants to go home to his family, whatever happens. 3) Carlos is frightened to death of losing his job, he feels the pressure and he snapped. 4) Giddings is a sh it stirring pig (well this one doesn't come into it really but thought i'd put it out there. I believe 2 and 4 to be the correct answers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shezza Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) There was a piece in The Star recently quoting inside sources claiming sacking Carlos was never considered, and that DC is handing him another contract regardless of the outcome of the play-offs. And Carlos seems to absolutely love it here. I hope and believe he's staying. Edited May 5, 2017 by Shezza Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David1867 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Didn't Carlos sign a new 3 year contract last summer? He then says his contract is up this summer. Journalists ask what the situation is, then the journalist gets grief for asking and nobody is none the wiser what the situation is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handworth52 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I listened to that alan biggs show last night with carlos and knew that Giddens etc would ask him about contract today as he said he signed a 3 year deal in summer now only till summer . he aint done nowt wrong he was asking a question anybody would have asked . the way I see it is 100% he stays if we go up and 95% sure he leaves if we don't go up . if he wanted to stay he should have said I will stay while everyone fans chansiri want him to. the answer he gave to me means he already knows what he will do in summer.

MrsHall Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Whatever, if anything, is going off, AG has had a good go at trying to cause friction at the worst possible time for us. I think its extremely sh1tty. He seems to also have the support of his P&G cronies, I thought the justification of it tonight bordered on arrogance. UTO.

AwokenGiant Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) Love all this - reeks of the us versus them, or 'siege mentality' that Ferguson was so good at manufacturing. If they ever needed to, it'll make the players want it more. Edited May 5, 2017 by AwokenGiant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Dre Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 4 hours ago, Dave DJ said: To be fair they are only asking a question Carlos has brought on himself, a year ago he said he signed a 3 year contract and now he's saying it's 1 year. If we announced Hutchinson had signed for another 3 years, but then suddenly with one game to go it came out he was on a free surely people would ask questions? Good point this. Journalists didn't ask anything untoward at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastleigh Owl Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I hope I'm wrong but I fear Carlos wants to move on now. He obviously wouldn't want that to disrupt the team especially at this time. Love to see him at Hillsborough next year but I doubt he'll be there. I get the impression a 3 year deal was on offer and he didn't want it.

Dan™ Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 If ever there was a manager whose comments you could take at face value, Carlos seems to be the one. Stop overthinking it and just listen to what the guy is saying plain as day. I really don't think it's very complicated, he's made very clear that he will stay as long as he is wanted by the "triangle" of fans, players and chairman. I completely believe him when he says he'd walk if one of those groups no longer backed him. The reason he hasn't publicly committed himself to next season is because he knows, as well as any Owlstalk reader should know, that the picture of fans opinion could be completely different if we don't make it to Wembley or win there in a few weeks. I hope he stays regardless of what happens in the playoffs, but I think the answer to whether he does or not will partly be down to how we all collectively react.

jordyowl Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Very clever from Carlos... who's talking about Wednesday chances and putting pressure on the team? Not one person, all about him and we can back under the radar again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
