https://twitter.com/UndrTheCosh/status/1292541170535538690?s=20 Have people seen this interview? Interesting to say the least.
So WFC didn’t think he was good enough, offer 50% of full remuneration for the remainder of his contract and he’ll be able to find a new club and get paid again.. And Carl says if WFC don’t pay 100% of his wages (a year was it?) he’ll kick the sh£t out of younger players to injure them? And one interviewer says you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do.... What sort of world do they live in.....?
****inson was a limited player, but always gave his all and was respected for that. A few people got upset when he spat on the pitch once, weirdly, but he was a bog standard run of the mill player. However that interview makes him come across as a 24 carat ****head. What an absolute pleb.
Saw it earlier. Surprised he was quite so honest, but at the very end of the interview he said he wouldn't have injured players really. I know where he's coming from. He was put in a position and the only way he saw he could resolve it was to fight fire with fire. It was a threat, which I very much doubt he would have carried out. But once said, the club could not take the risk and keep him around.
Yeah I was surprised by it, liked him as a player and he did admit he wouldnt have actually gone through with it but still is a really sh1tty thing to threaten to do.
He sounds like a nice guy and teammate. ‘How dare you keep me to the terms of my contract or offer me 50% pay-off as a way out. I want my whole contract paid up or else I’m going to go and hurt innocent people.
He was always a ******, even before the Pozzo era A talentless thug who made a career out of being left footed and a self styled 'pashun merchant'
Has he retired then? If not, he's more of a thoughtless loudmouth than Deeney. Who is going to offer him a decent contract if they discover the extent of his idiocy?
What a gent. Half a pint of Carlin’s down... Happy to say it and take pride in it for the laughs, and then try and backtrack... “oh, I didn’t mean it.”
What an absolute pillock. I have to wonder if the club couldn't have just terminated him without paying anything out at all, after he made a threat like that. He was threatening to cause deliberate physical harm to other employees unless he got his own way; that seems grounds for tearing a contract up to me. Special mention for the clapping seal morons in the video acting like he did something admirable. Some of the comments (presumably from Stoke fans) are similarly shocking. This sort of thing is indefensible.
Same mentality as the morons who invade the towns and cities every weekend getting plastered for a bit of fun only for it often turn into something more serious. The guy is a chav without a brain cell to think with. Carl '****head' ****inson.
I don't know what the usual thing is for situations like this (paying up 50% of his contract for an average player who was surplus to requirements and who was free to join another club sounds pretty generous to me). That aside, imagine the outrage if the boot were on the other foot? Imagine if, instead of some ordinary Midlands bloke at a club with crazy Italian owners and random foreign players, he were a filthy Argie at a club with bulldog Brit owners and players
I think his point is that the only reason anyone is celebrating this stance is because he's English. A bunch of "little Englander" support for someone who was objectively verging on (or even actually) committing a crime.
The idiot is talking as if he’d have got near anyone in training to do any damage! The stand out from ‘****os’ performances were by the time he anticipated any danger we were already kicking off again.
If anyone is crying about the team we have now, look no further than Carl ****inson. Some, will point to the fact that Carl ran around a lot, but he was a horrible footballer
Funny you should say that, had that exact same thought when I watched the clip! Even forgot the muppet ever played for us. I’d much rather have any of our defenders over this bloke and that’s saying a lot!
Typical sort of thing said by an ex pro they all love and lap up, But if a player admitted that now they would probably be hammered from all angles accused of disrespecting the club and endangering others.
There's a lot of effort in this thread going into determining a humorous and insulting nickname for Carl, but there is in fact no need, when all you have to do is study the name officially handed down by his father.
I wonder why he made only 4 appearances during 2012/13....... his Zola impression did make me laugh but he comes across like a total **** in that interview. Threatening to deliberately injure your own teammates, never mind a fellow professional. ****
If someone threatened to do that and I have to pay out their contract anyway, I'd have them training for 12 months in a rutted field in North Wales for his money.
He was bought in when we needed a left back and did an average job, gave his all on the pitch which, when the pozzos came along, wasn’t enough for where we wanted to go. Obviously just saying this for a sound bite which is why he backtracked at the end. He did alright for us and was one of many who had to move on when the influx of signings turned up. Yes it’s a knobbish thing to say but don’t think there’s anything in it. But I agree with the poster who said he forgot he played for us, had completely forgot about him which says it all.
IIRC his last game was as emergency centre back away to Derby. We had sold Martin Taylor the day before and had no one else we could play there. Not sure if he played alongside Neuton or maybe Nyron but can you imagine either as a central pairing. Think we lost 5-0. Back when we were really tinpot !
