If Toby has been banging his Mrs, you'd imagine MP wouldn't be too happy about that.
But it isn't illegal and there is unlikely to be anything in Toby's contract about it.
If MP feels he can't work with guy any more as it is driving him mad, then is it right that he demands the player leave? For the harmony of the group maybe one has to leave, but if they both want to stay...
Are we saying as MP is the boss, he gets to chose? What if next time, his kippers are found in some else's grill?
Can’t see that for one minute. He has a young child and his missus is pregnant again. Plus he’s not that stupid.

Really makes you wonder what's going on.

If Poch has a falling out with both Toby and Jan and told the club he wants then out then I can't imagine Levy been all that happy about it.

Why?

Well firstly they are important assets and we would be making sales the club don't necessarily want to make. We'd then have to go into the market and replace them of course.

Therefore, it all seems a little unnecessary, as you are likely to be replacing to class players with inferior ones.

As mentioned here, selling Walker and signing Aurier and promoting Trippier left us weaker, 2 years on and we still don't have the answers here.

So perhaps Poch needs to ease up in some respects, especially as Toby has been ultra professional on the pitch and doesn't come across as a bad guy. Also, it's hardly a Neymar or Beckham situation where the players ego is overshadowing the club.

Of course, if Toby has said something really disrespectful or really offended Poch with his actions, I don't expect Poch to let stuff slide. But I do wonder if other players have seen a bad side of Poch and can't get behind him like they used to.

I hope that's not the case but something is definitely amiss here. Really unfortunate situations.

I think the Jan thing is being blown out of proportion, I watched every pre-season game and he was by far the most unfit player, I reckon in a months time the Jan issue will be behind us, however I agree with the rest of what you said.

With regards to Toby, the problem is we've been drip fed a little bit of information, there was a period in 2017 when all the various ITK sources were saying if we knew what he'd done then we'd fucking hate him, however we were never given that information so it's hard for us when all we see is Poch consistently picking Alder and him being an absolute pro. Makes you wonder if ignorance is bliss tbh.

So the Sun, Hercules and now Football Insider. Is there something in this after all? Would be a crazy outcome after all we’ve heard (and apparently haven’t heard) over the last couple of years.

This makes me a tad nervous given VY's ITK..

Obviously things can change, but I remember when asked about a Toby new deal, JJ said if it happens then Poch might go

I don't really see why that would be such an issue. I mean if that were the case, all one would have to do is simply remove the fish in question from whichever cooking apparatus they're erroneously in, place them onto a different baking tray and subsequently finish heating them in the correct oven- problem solved. There would be scant loss of quality taste-wise, assuming the entire endeavor occurred in a timely fashion. Indeed as seafood goes, Kippers are quite hardy and often retain their flavor no matter how poorly they're prepared.

"Swinger?" Well yeah- kind of. For example, the other day I took my boy, 6, and my girl, 2, to the park and put them both on the swings and they had a great time so yeah, I suppose I am a swinger in a way.

Unfortunately for my kids their fun didn't last all long as I had to hurry back from the playground and drop them off with the babysitter so that my wife and I wouldn't be late for our weekly arrangement, the one in which I take to her former co-worker's house- a really handsome man with a huge cock whom my wife has a massive crush on- and then proceed to watch her have violent, sweaty sex with the guy whilst I watch, after which I take her back home- but I digress...

Maybe Levy has seen the capitulation from the squad over the last few weeks and said screw it and decided to err on the side of resigning our talent rather than deferring to our manager who seems less than 100% invested at times.

I've always wanted to ask this - do you people really stick your car keys in an ash tray or is it just an urban myth?

In Toby's defense, even when Poch ostracized him, he's been nothing but 100% professional and committed to the cause. If he signs up, I'll be very happy we're keeping him around.

If they’d had a massive fallout he wouldn’t be getting the minutes.

I can’t imagine for a minute Poch would spit his dummy and resign if Toby is handed an extension.

Only a handful of people know the truth and all the rest is pure speculation and click bait rumours.

Just saw Toby at work

Asked him about:
- His contract: apparently he hasn’t been offered one from levy
- If he wants to stay: he said yeah, it’s been 5 years and I have a kid on the way. (The way he was saying it wasn’t that convincing in my eyes)

He may have been just saying all of this cause I’m a fan, and he may not have wanted to say what is really going on but that’s what he said.

In my eyes from what he was saying and the way he seemed it was worrying for me, I’m probably one of the people than never wants to see him leave and I hope levy pulls his finger out of his arse and gives him the contract he deserves!

Why didn't you ask him why he let his dad try to fuck Levy over? That's the reason we are where we are.

Thanks for the info but this narrative that it's all Levy's fault when all the evidence points to the contrary is tiresome.
