prideoflanarkshire Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Tom Hateley - Been, Gone, Replaced End of - Good luck to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joewarkfanclub Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Never met the guy so I have no idea what he is like as a person but from the posters on here that have, they seemed to all think he was a decent guy. Never bad mouthed the club and despite the abuse he has had from some quarters, never bad mouthed the fans. I wish him all the best in Poland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballso Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 Had a few dealings with Tom over the time he was here and he was a decent guy. No billy big time from him and happy to take time out to come down and coach out boy's football team a couple of times. Wish him well. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJC_MKI Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Everyone has their own personal experiences but on the one occasion I spoke to Tom Hateley I found him to be a complete gent who was happy to chat away to supporters. I believed all along and still do there was an element in the support who disliked him due to who his father was. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

East Stand Well Boy Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Tom hateley is a pretentious dick.

weeyin Posted January 11, 2014 Report Share Posted January 11, 2014 Tom hateley is a pretentious dick.

So, in summary, you abused him, he never responded, and that makes *him* a pretentious dick? 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frazzie Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 I was debating this with 'Flow on Twitter last night but it's probably fair to say both our opinions are a bit skewed. I genuinely don't see that it's a particularly good move unless I'm missing something. I don't think he'll be on more money than he was on with us and there's a chance he'll get a couple of Euro qualifiers, same as if he'd stayed with us. When you add in that he's having to move to Poland when he's engaged to be married and no doubt planning to start a family soon then I really don't see the attraction.

But he wasnt moving there from us. He made a bad decision in the summer. If this gets him back playing first team football at a decent level it improves his situation surely?

Mad Dog Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Just wait 'til they play Legia and Henrik tears him to pieces.... Nothing against Tom, just think that defending wasn't always his strong point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rambunctious Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 (edited) That Slask Wroclaw are a much bigger team than us (and tranmere) for a start so he'll definitely be getting paid more than we would have been paying him. The Polish league is also stronger than ours, with the exception of Celtic. I also think there stadium might have been built/upgraded for the Euros a few years back so that's another plus.

Edit: Picture found What makes you think they are a bigger team and higher standard? I'm not saying they aren't but a big stadium was built for the Euros and Polish supporters are fanatical so they probably do get big crowds but is there anything to suggest the product is better and wages are higher?

Frazzie Posted January 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 He had the choice between Poland or Firhill. I know where i'd have went. Agreed, but he also had the choice six months ago not to leave us. I'm questioning whether things turned out for the best or whether he regrets leaving us. I don't care about Partick Thistle.

Guest Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Citation needed on the polish league being stronger than the SPL. Or is it just the case that scottish football is 'shite'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobey_Dosser Posted January 24, 2014 Report Share Posted January 24, 2014 Whatever the standard, it's a new experience for him. Unless you're looking to settle with your family in Scotland, 4 years in the SPL is more than enough when you've yet to reach your peak. Good luck to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Citation needed on the polish league being stronger than the SPL. Or is it just the case that scottish football is 'shite'. Well after a quick check on wikipedia Poland has a higher UEFA coefficient than ourselves. I was also basing that on the fact Polish teams in recent times have snapped up some of Scottish footballs more exciting prospects (and for reasonable sums that we couldn't afford): Barry Douglas and Ojamaa for instance. And the fact their national team has been more successful than ours. I've no idea what kind of contract Hateley will be on over there or even exactly how much he was earning here, but I was just hazarding a guess that due their average attendance being over 17,000 a week they could probably afford a lot more than us. The product might not really be that much better and they might not have much more money, just think they're reasonable assumptions to make. If anything else playing in front of bigger fanatical crowds in a quality new stadium will be a draw. Playing football in a European country will surely be a good thing for his career, besides. Good experience and will look good on his CV. PS. I've heard Wroclaw is lovely this time of year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
