He was a major contributor to last season’s relegation Al. Had a crap season. Not good enough for Championship but a three year contract on ten grand a week would make him a very wealthy young man.

Not bad for a very average footballer.
A Tranmere fan at the time we bought him said they had 3 or 4 even better than him but his dad has connections (what that means I haven’t got a clue)and that’s how he got his move, I don’t blame him for wanting to better himself but he’s not good enough for the championship.

Exactly and that gives these tossers their big bollocks attitudes.
Whether Powel or Bogle are good enough is immaterial. With a week to go until the season opens this should not be the sort ofnews we are hearing.
The fact that this kind of stuff is going on off pitch and players are turning to social media to publicise it really worries me about Cook’s managerial control.
Fair enough if we don’t want players who don’t want to be with us, bit the way this is bein managed is a joke. Not helped by Cook’s comments in the press about McKay or Morsy. Does make you wonder if it’s just injury keeping Grigg, etc off the field.
Wouldn’t surprise me if we start the season with half the squad being youngsters. A far cry from the what we were told a couple of months back about the core of the squad being kept together.
I’m not sure why these incidents would concern you about Cook’s management style & think we need to be careful not to take the players (or player in the case of Power) words at face value.
Power has said that he spoke with Cook in the first week of pre-season & said that if an offer came in from a Championship club then he would like to go. It would appear that neither Cook nor the club in general had a problem with that as he’s been involved in the pre-season games (prior to Notts County) & been used by the club for publicity. Same with Bogle.
The fact that both Power & Bogle have been dropped from the 1st team squads indicates to me that something has happened since then that Cook or the club, or both, are really unhappy with. In the case of Bogle it could also be that the club has accepted an offer & the buying club don’t want him to play in case he gets injured.
It’s normally pretty serious behaviour for a player to be dumped from the first team squad or a case of a player being so bad they want him to quit. I think that its highly likely that players such as Morsy, Burn, Grigg etc.. have also said that if offers come in from higher level clubs then they would be interested but they’re still involved with the first team squad so it indicates to me that their committment & effort isn’t in question but that the likes of Power have done something unacceptable in the club’s eyes.
The fact that Power has gone public in the way that he has & Bogle has issued a thinly veiled “I’m off” statement says more about them as players than it does about the club
IMO the club cannot allow the tail to wag the dog in terms of player behaviour & demands & if this has been the case then personally I back the club even if this sort of stuff isn’t particularly want I want to be hearing about 8 days before the start of the seasonPersonally I have never rated Power since the day he arrived & couldn’t understand why a) other supporters rated him in Lge1 & b) why he has always been getting linked with “bigger” clubs. I think his performances all last season & the fact that he was dropped in the run in showed that he isn’t as good as he thinks he is[/quote]
Nothing of what is happening is anything much to do with Cook. Everything stems down from who controls the purse strings and balancing the books. At Latics like most clubs there is far too much going out compared to what goes in. Eg. just look at the size of the backroom staff clubs carry these days. Our backroom staff alone uses thousands of pounds worth of income per month.[/quote]
Cookie has got rid of entire backroom team. All sport science department at club gone. Told Sharpey forget all that shite we can do it for nowt apparently. Old school!
He’s brought his own men in, such as fitness trainer and physio, etc. He’s been around the game long enough to know what’s good in a club and what’s not. I trust him.
But I also worry that he is doing the job with one arm tied behind his back, with not much funding available and having to offload players to rebuild. I hope we can get shut of Bogle this weekend and already have a replacement option lined up to get in early next week. If we get £800,000 for him, we need to reinvest at least £500,000 and that should bring us in an half decent player at the lower levels.I remember Emyr Huws saying exactly the same thing as Power following our last relegation to league one.The difference between Huws and Power being Huws had been signed from Man City and was a half decent player who could hold his own at Championship level, whereas Power had been signed from Tranmere, where he’d been relegated from league 1 to the conference in three seasons. This level of failure would suggest he was lucky to get another crack in the 3rd tier with Wigan.
As Power failed to make any impression in the Championship last season, what makes him think he’s worthy of another go this season?
Even though Power was poor last season, Bogle was a potentially dangerous headless chicken and I’ve not seen enough of Byrne to comment, this looks like bad business to me. Fair play tell them off and listen to offers, but don’t do it publically. Making them train away from the squad and allowing them to vent on Twitter will only intensify bad feeling and make the players much harder to actually cash in on.

How come you know so much about Max Power, have you actually seen him play or is it hearsay?
Fuck the EFL

Both Power and Bogle have done themselves no favours in going on the social media sites.
Coming out of this; Bogle is seen as a player not good enough for a league one side.
Power will probably go down the same route as Huws, being pushed from club to club. I bet he is really made up that Brentford are interested in him, they are a championship team after all, if that’s what he wants.From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!You can certainly see why Sir Alex Ferguson didn’t allow his players to go on social media.
Power and Bogle both trying to force the issue by opening their mouths online. I’m not sure what else Cook could’ve done with them doing that.
Just get shut and get new in.
The problems started with the jolly in Spain, where have the scars on Alex Gilbey’s face come from?
Bogle and Power are being forced out of the club, alot of underhanded stuff going on, dont believe everything you read on social media!
Fuck the EFL
Prove you’ve got balls to go with your attention seeking complex and inform us exactly what happened in Spain and how Gilbey got a scar. Or is is it more bullitt bull.
I find it funny that people envisage some kind of ‘last days of rome’ piss up whilst on the “bonding break” in Spain.
This isn’t the 1980’s. The majority of professional footballers these days are either teetotal or at best, shandy drinkers. The days of 15 pints, 6 vodkas and a game of ‘the dance of the flaming arsehole’ with toilet paper being hung from your arse crack and set alight…the winner being who endures it longest, are long long gone.
I’d like to think we have a really good bunch of professionals who have the sense to look after themselves. The bonding was more likely done around pool tables, table tennis, swimming and of course, the beach based training activities which they did.

You dont know how wrong you are pal, disgracful what happened in Spain!
