RnP Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Sone Aluko and Jamie Langfield have both contacted the club this afternoon to stress their disappointment with the headline in the Evening Express that both players threatened to quit following Sunday's announcement that the football management team was leaving Pittodrie. Whilst it was an emotional time for everyone at Pittodrie on Sunday night, in particular the playing staff, both Sone and Jamie wanted to let the fans know that they will not be leaving the club. Sone told RedWeb "I have two years of my contract left. I am very happy at the club. I have much to thank Jimmy Calderwood for. He has done a lot for my career. But he has gone and that is football. We all need to move on. I am looking forward to working with whoever takes over the manager's job. I want the fans to know I am not going anywhere." RedWeb also spoke to Jamie this afternoon. "As I said to RedTV when I picked up the player of the year award I am very happy at Pittodrie. It really meant a lot the fans voted for me and I really appreciate the support they have given me. "Jimmy Calderwood did a great job for Aberdeen and we were all shocked at the news on Sunday. However we must draw a line under it and start looking ahead to the new season. A season that includes European Football." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc_don Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Well done to the guys for being pro-active about this and hopefully putting an end to it all. I hope we have many years of them to go. Was there not talk of Langfield extending his deal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyBiscuit Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Is it true that it was JC who started this shite? It was him who told the papers they had put in transfer requests. Not sure how accurate it is, but it was suggested elsewhere JC said this in one of his newspaper interviews. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There I said it. Can we pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease move on ? Wait a wee minute here, it's an open forum, and do you honestly think it is ok for a former employee, and in particular one of his standing to be acting in such a way once he has left? Had it been anyone else who had told this to the papers and I brought this up, you wouldn't have responded like that, so why do so because it's JC? It's bang out of order if he has said that to the press, and it is an "if", I only asked a question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TENEMENTFUNSTER Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Yeah, he has gone, so he shouldn't be saying it. I don't especially care. If it was him, it is him that looks a bit more daft, nothing really to affect the club adversely especially given the player's response.

dave_min Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 I thought it was Aluko and Miller threatening to leave, first i've heard of Langfield leaving? Or not as the case may be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jute Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 JC in the daily retard today claiming it was only because he told the players not to leave that they withdrew the transfer requests that the players themselves are saying they did not make.

sheepheid Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 If AFC have any sense, any comments from any players with regards to Calderwood departing and a new boss coming in would all be scripted or pre approved by the club prior to them hitting the press.

Reekie_Red Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Doesn't matter anyway. Both are tied up on fairly decent term contracts. If they want to move, then someone's gonna have to pay a heck of a lot for players of the caliber of Sone and Langfield who, arguably, are now our most skilled players since Smith and Seve look to be goners.

Techno Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 When Jimmy started this chat about players leaving if he was sacked, the first thing that came to mind was the episode of the Office when David Brent is getting sacked and he is telling his boss he'll have a mutiny on his hands etc and everyone will leave. Brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajja Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I don't trust JC in the media and I don't trust the media (especially the Daily Ranger) with JC! What's to trust or not trust. He isn't our manager anymore. His ability to do any damage is limited and to be honest he is just going to look embittered if he stirs it up. Forget him.

Stewart Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Langfield was interviewed on RedTV about it and he said he's happy to stay. Also said once more that he'd be happy to sign a contract extension. This needs doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
