1. Proof cpfc is being run by bean counters without a care, including for us, and not football people.

2. Nobody is going to pay money for him.

3. He’s a fvcking forward paid to score goals. Defending corners is an extra. And where’s the cvnt when we break anyway? Behind 9 players that’s where.

‘He does try to get in the box.’ What, like all those balls through the corridor of uncertainty and he’s hiding or actually nowhere to be seen you mean! Dozens of these he could’ve picked up the 10-12 goals per season, instead it’s ONE per season.

4. I agree on the high ball eventually coming in too late though. Sometimes I get the feeling this is the Zaha and Townsend club. Townsend prefers the right and Zaha the left. These 2 should be ordered to change round for 30-40% of the match at least, preferably longer if it’s working.

If you watch the press conference with Roy yesterday, he is asked is he happy that Benteke is being offered a new contract. He gave the most diplomatic response ever which loosely translated to, I can't believe he's being offered a new contract, what kind of buffoons am I working for?

Yep, the Americans and Parish will only react to revenue loss. If we accept it they’ll do it. The only way to get through to them is show them the financial and commercial loss it’ll cost.

It’s so stupid. We’ll end up paying him the money we’re hoping to get it someone is stupid enough to pay for him, which they won’t be.

Also telling that Benteke is considering the extension. Is nobody interested and therefore no big free agent signing on fee? I wonder why.

This is so stupid I can’t understand it and will probably do me a favour in giving Selhurst a miss. I’ll come back after relegation, hopefully no Benteke, Parish running football or anything, or the Americans, in whichever order or combination.

I accept the full football and Benteke here until contract expiry, but not extending it. We’re being insulted and taken for granted here and should make a stand because it’s going too far and more than likely will get worse.

COYP

at my optimistic best this means we get a sell-on fee when he leaves at the end of the season, at my pessimistic worst we're stuck with this fella for the next few years.

Yep. But if he’s likely to leave at the end of the season, he should refuse to extend. But why has there been no interest this summer?

It’s nonsensical, if you look at it considering the football.

If someone does buy him after another year it’ll cover his wages for that year so what’s the point of this.

Just fvck off. This’ll becit for me. I’ll come back when something promising in a change at cpfc happens. Fvck this.
