Caldwell sold against Mowbray's wishes?

Sky Sports News are alleging that Caldwell was sold against Mowbrays wishes.

Tbh, I always thought that was the case, IMO the board didn't think he was worth the wages he was requesting, therefore a stalemate ensured that he would leave, whether Mowbray wanted to keep him or not.

TM seemed to indicate as much in an interview with SSN

Anyone surprised?

 

mowbray must have been the only * inside celtic park who wanted him to stay then...as the fans wanted shot of him. caldwells mouth was writing cheques his talent couldnt cash. we're well shot.

 

He's full of *, he was on ssn yestarday saying he didnt feel wanted by TM, now he's saying the opposite.

What a nugget!!

 

Yeah I can see part of it though. He wasn't going to get the new contract he wanted and so TM had no power to keep him since the board wanted a fee for him

 

There was no mention that it came from Caldwell himself.
EDIT: @ Jimbhoab, I wanted him to stay, that made two of us inside CP.lol

 

You obviously just read the headline, not the actual article...

 

Think the papers are trying to stir it. TM was saying he rates heid but couldn't agree terms after a long-winded contract dispute and the board had to cash in and that there is no rift between the board and himself.
Wouldn't look too much into this drivel.

 

Gary Caldwell has revealed he left Celtic for Wigan as he did not feel valued by Hoops boss Tony Mowbray.

Caldwell believes Mowbray is keen to undertake a major reshuffle at the Bhoys and admits he never felt wanted by the former West Brom chief.

SSN

 

Why would he give him the captains arm band if he wasn't wanted? He's also said in interviews he knows how good/composed he is from his time at Birmingham. It makes sense if he wanted more money and the board don't want to give it him, they got rid.

Too bad, i liked him as a player, set up a * load of goals for us. Too bad he never really had a competent partner next to him at CB.

 

Like I said, you just read the headline, and a few comments from the author/sub-editor.

Nothing below is a direct quote from the mouth of Caldwell, try reading what is actually said rather than some journo's twisted mis-interpretation of it.

 

Utter bunkum.....

Bye Bye Gary....don't rush back.

Martinez must be blind paying him £25k per week for 4 years.

 

£25k a week, is that what they are paying him?

 

Even at Wigan gary cant help himself and is still shouting his mouth off.

The guy really thinks he is something and worth £25k a week.

I believe Mogga, bye bye gary :bbpd:

 

yeh read his interveiw in paper the douche really thought he was something i wud have only gave him 16 grand thats better than the 8 grand he was on he was never worth 20 grand
i stand by the manager and board if this was the case y did mowbrary bring in another defender then

 

now i know y he made so many mistakes with a ego like that he was never goin to take responsibility for them and when ya dont take responsibility you dont learn from them timeafter time there was a high ball pitched in our defense he always had a tough time runnin back to get the ball terrible

 

Who cares?

 

What has he said that's made you unhappy?

From what I read he says he really enjoyed his three and a half years here, wants to thank everyone involved at the club, and that his departure was simply down to not being able to negotiate a new deal, and so he moved on.

Does speaking highly of the club you've just left count as "shouting your mouth off"?

 

yeh he did say that but then he said he thought he was a twenty grand contract for what he acheived at the club no doubt he deserved a better contract but what he was asking was ridiculous considering the * season he had. like a said he never took responsibilty for his poor form. say what ya like bout mcmanus least he didnt * and moan about a contract he decided to take more training sessions

 

He just denyed it was on Sky sports?

 

money was his * all along, he even bit the hand that fed him with strachan then said its the premiership football that decided it what are wigan ever going to win and paying that * £25,000 so its money, and as he played with Celtic giving away penalty's and Ogs you would never have given that guy a red neck even if you was to use a blow torch, the sooner they find him out the better hope strachan dingeys him for good
