ghostofcecere Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Doesn't the story go that we signed Stuart 'Jigsaw' Barlow instead of Hyypia? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slurms mckenzie Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 It was definately Sharp, not Royle as NOTW did an article on it a few years ago and it had a brief comment from Sharp. And it had nothing to do with the manager not rating him, it was the fact that he wanted a two year contract, and we would only offer one year.

Rocky_Latic Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 (edited) It was Greame Sharp who said he's no better than we've already got. The player in question wasnt Stuart Barlow because that wouldnt make sense, seeing as Barlow was a striker. Then again. What the hell does he know about football. You only have to listen to the football phone in show he does to realise what a clueless **** he actually is.

Much as I hate Sharp, he wanted to sign Hyypia by all accounts but wasn't able to due to restraints imposed by the men upstairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Much as I hate Sharp, he wanted to sign Hyypia by all accounts but wasn't able to due to restraints imposed by the men upstairs. Mrs Marsdens Advertiser article Promotions, relegeations, are made on decisions like this, It does make you wonder if things might have been very different for Sharp if he had signed Hypia. Maybe Sharp became so disillusioned dealing with money men he never went that into managment again. Or maybe he was rubbish.

Hometownclub Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 We did the right thing not taking him on, a blind man could see he was never going to amount to much in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngen Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Much as I hate Sharp, he wanted to sign Hyypia by all accounts but wasn't able to due to restraints imposed by the men upstairs. I heard similar. I believe Sharp told the upstairs staff to conclude a deal at the end of the weeks trial and when he came back in monday the upstairs men had decided he wasnt good enough and him off. I believe it was fat man Ian Stott in charge then if I remember rightly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueJazzer Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I heard that we were trying to put some sort of deal together (and yes it was Sharpe) but he decided to go to a dutch club instead as a player he knew was already there.

Guest sheridans_world Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I believe we also had John Arne Riise at the same time as Hyypia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daznathe Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 we had to sign 2 players not just hyypia and couldnt afford it, he wouldnt come on his own the big girl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy_Fent Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 (edited) from Graeme Sharps Autobiography .........I brought in a centre half from Finland called Sammi Hypia he played in a behind closed doors friendly, Colin and I agreed that he was better than anyone else we had and I asked the chairman to follow up the interest in the player Ten days passed with no word from the chairman, until he informed me he signed for Willem II in Holland........
