Cresswell

Re: Cresswell

I don't even know why there is a debate. The guy was shit when he was with us... and is nowhere near good enough now. And some folks seem to have forgotten the play-off semi already, and his disgusting behaviour.

Fortunately, some of us do remember, and if he ever did return (which won't happen) he would be hounded from day one. Promise.

Leeds were well and truly ripped off by Dereck, and there is no way back. That's the happy ending to the Cresswell saga.

Amen to that!😉

how many times do we have to go over this, Cresswell didnt want to go, plain and simple. However Derek had already done a deal, Cresswell found out and got a move he wanted. By all means shout at Healy, take a dump on Lewis, but dont tar Cresswell for working a move THAT HE DIDNT WANT in his favour. We ended up better off without him, we got a shed load of cash, undeservedly, and now he's pretty much on the scrapheap - be gracious in victory:mawene:

I heard it was cress who engineer'd the move not the other way round, only the sizable fee changed shaws mind from what i heard.... Because no way was cress worth that kind of money.... 1.1 mil,Lets hope Shaw was wise enough to add a sell on on the greedy git is all i can add to that story.....🙂 😉

Fella, you couldn't be more wrong - I have already gone through this over and over again - Cresswell didn't engineer it at all, but he was furious that Mr Shaw accepted the offer from Sheff Utd and didn't make a serious offer of increased terms for him to stay at PNE - then Leeds stepped in at the 11th hour and the rest is history

And i think that ive backed you up on this a couple of times Oof! Shaw told Cressie he was worth more to us(PNEFC) as a sold player than a PNEFC player. Warnock was at his house over the weekend prior to him going and he was all for signing for Sheff Utd but Leeds made him an offer he couldn't refuse. He was gutted that he had to leave but had no say in the matter.....................however this doesn't excuse his outragous behaviour in the play-offs.

Re: Cresswell

I bet Warnock was just a bit annoyed by Cresswells sudden change of mind.

Can anyone clarify that cresswell had only just signed a three yr deal before he went.......? how can someone sat on a brand new three yr deal be asking for us to make him a better offer to stay ffs.....?
We had no need to sell him at that time if i recall, and there was a story that did the rounds about the real reason Cress left Pne and it was nothing to do with money.....
More to do with something going on in his personal life at that time.
The way i heard it and how suddenly it all came about was very odd.
But who gives a monkey about him. hes history we've moved on.
None of those that went to leeds for the lack of supposed ambition here and would be in the prem in 12 months at Leeds were right were they lmfaooooooooo..... bet there all as sick as the preveribials now.....

Yes we did, and it was all to do with money, basically we were offered more money than he was worth to us, simple really.

that is a lie, Cresswells agent started a bidding war between leeds and Sheff Utd for him, get the facts right.

Re: Cresswell

It is getting so tedious now. Look, we sold a player for lots of money. The player accepted the move. It's called the transfer system. Why is it so difficult for some people to grasp???

o.k magic,if your boss tells you you haye to go we need the money,you dont have much options,specially when your contract comes up for renewal
Also Healy spent to much time on the bench,so it did,nt need a lot of persuasion,to move on,
Why did lewis move? he was happy here,i dont think that was money

Mis-representation,

Cresswell's agent contatced Leeds AFTER the Sheff Utd bid was accepted by PNE.

That is what happened, the decision wasn't Cresswell's, but once the bid was accepted, naturally he and his agent conspired to get the best deal, at that point the Leeds bid miraculously appeared and matched the Sheff Utd one.

He went to Leeds - end of story.

thank you, for what its worth i was one of those slagging him off until i was put straight by one of my mates who was close to the play off final team, and particularly cresswell

But Oof, why would we make an increased offer to a player as poor as Cresswell? If somebody offered you an exorbitant amount of cash for an asset with little value to you, would you do ANYTHING to avoid making the sale? I know I wouldn't - and Cresswell was nothing more than a headless chicken who had scored 6 goals in his previous 28 games prior to leaving.

PNE trousered £1.1m and Cresswell got himself a doubled pay packet at a club that he professed he supported as a youngster. Poor Richard - hard done by?

On the other hand, grandad, it was a greater pity that Cresswell couldn't matcn Fuller's undoubted ability and goal ratio.
