Chris Wood, last game of the season

[ClaretMov]

On his return to Turf Moor is he booed for jumping ship, yes or no.

[TheFamilyCat]

Hopefully we'll be safe at Newcastle's expense so just a jolly good laugh.

[fidelcastro]

Only by idiots.

[HahaYeah]

If booed he will probably score a hat trick and send us down.

[kentonclaret]

On his return to Turf Moor is he booed for jumping ship, yes or no.

He might even miss the final few matches away with NZ on World Cup Qualification duties. Games scheduled for sometime in March but not yet confirmed by FIFA. He faces a hectic schedule of 3 games a week to get everything sorted for the Oceania Group before the World Cup starts proper.

If he's not away hopefully he'll be knackered.

Anyway I am sure there will be a £50 million striker ready to slot in.

Nothing to do with us now, and I doub't theres a person inside that stadium on that day that wouldn't have done the same given the stage he's at in his career, and the cash on offer to him.

Woody has been brilliant for us, and he's certainly played a massive part in me acheiving a dream of watching my team have a sustasined spell in the best league in the world. Something that seemed light years away when my old man took me to my first game in 1980..

I will certainly give his name a clap when it's announced as a thank you...

[Boss Hogg]

I won’t be booing or applauding. Will just get behind Burnley players. Plenty of fans put lots of effort into applauding ex players though when their main focus is beating us.

[fatboy47]

Couldn't give a monkeys toss.

[Sheedyclaret]

No booing from me might even applaud him for getting 25m for us its a great deal for a bang average player

[The Hung Juror]

Can never see the point in booing a former player, it can only serve to motivate them to play better. It’s either silence or on occasion applause from me. For Wood it will be the former.

That said I did make an exception for Coyle (not a former player I know) where he was given both barrels of my wrath and disgust. It was great.

[elwaclaret]

It would be quite unusual if an agreement has not been made that he does not play against us this season.

[StuffyClaret]

I would think it very unusual if there is such an agreement and I don't believe that it would ever be included in such a contract these days (unless it was a loan signing)

[Herts Clarets]

Issue a load of red and yellow flags to the front rows of the Bob Lord and Longside lower. Every time a ball is played forward to Wood, all raise the flags for offside so he feels at home, in his comfort zone......

Any of these you

Don’t be imposing your morals on me. I think you’ll find there will be a sizeable amount of people who wouldn’t take the Saudi’s money. I’ve refused to visit, or invest during my professional career into KSA despite it having a detrimental impact on my own compensation. I’ve made my stance clear to my employer about this and called them out about their own policies around equal opportunities yet not calling it out when dealing with the Saudi Government.

Newcastle taking the knee and the Premier League allowing this takeover highlight the virtue signalling rife in football at the moment. I felt distinctly uncomfortable buying an away ticket for St James’s in December. I hated giving them any of my money. I rationalised it with knowing I was going to oppose them and support my team in beating them. I really hope they don’t just go down but eventually football comes to it’s senses and bans owners that are sovereign states
or have the dubious history that this lot of Saudi’s have.

Bugger that, we want to play their weakest team .

Frequently happens that such agreements are reached.

Saudis taking over PL Clubs, a World Cup awarded to Qatar, and players will still keep taking the knee with football commentators spouting on about equality in society and fighting discrimination wherever we find it blah blah blah. The families of the many hundreds that have died building the stadiums in Qatar will not even be mentioned when the first whistle blows. You end up in a situation with Newcastle Ladies taking the knee and the clubs owners have only recently given permission for women to take a driving test!

Pretty sure that such an agreement is explicitly not allowed for permanent transfers.

We’ll see, I guess. It is not that long ago gentlemen’s agreements were reported in such cases, but that may have changed, I’ll grant you.

[Woodleyclaret]

Yes he will get abused .His sidey comments re comfort zone was a complete pxxxtake
He should have sweat blood and given 110% for the shirt
He let us down and Sean down who trusted him to score and win games not put in a string of weak,cba performances

[Burnley Ace]

He might get a bit of stick as he does a bit of “warming up” in front of the BL, probably about being a bench warmer.

Credit for your stance in your professional life ClaretWizard. Maybe you should have followed it through in your private life, would have saved you some money and a lot of frustration in watching our performance there

[Vegas Claret]

I'll boo him from my couch, that'll show him

[fidelcastro]

I'll boo him from my couch, that'll show him

I'll be in the states at that point, can I join you?

[Vegas Claret]

only if you promise to boo !

Next time we play them I'll stay in the Bodega and stream the game and drink the ticket money instead.

[tiger76]

Far better to support those in Claret & Blue, Wood has gone so time to move on, and back those who can still hopefully secure our PL status.

[AlargeClaret]

Could be almost shakell like if we’re safe and send em down
