Preston Unhappy with Forest conduct.

Preston chairman Derek Shaw has hit out at Coca-Cola Championship rivals Nottingham Forest over their pursuit of long-serving skipper Paul McKenna.

Reds boss Billy Davies, who worked with the 31-year-old during his time in charge at Deepdale, revealed the latest bid for McKenna was in the region of £750,000.

It was the third time that North End had turned down a bid from Forest for McKenna and Shaw told the club`s official website: "I can confirm last week we did receive a third bid from Nottingham Forest for Paul McKenna, but we again turned it down.

"We have found Nottingham Forest's behaviour to be rather unfair. How dare they make a bid for one of our players? How on Earth are we expected to put together a good team, when other sides are allowed to sign our players? They would even resort to dirty tricks, like offering to pay him more money than we do."

"We do not like to do our business in the public arena and would not have publicised this had Silly Billy not gone running off to snitch us up to the local rag."

Where has he been the last 10 years?? :wacko:
Dirty tricks like offering him more money! :mellow: haha

It's because he hates Billy Davies.

The sheep had quite a few ex-Preston players on their books, but none of them came directly from Preston. It's not the club he's hitting out at, it's a manager that left him feeling unloved.

Its almost laughable. He's done nothing there but look an idiot.
..

We now have a manager who has the will to win whatever (hard to find ones that also have talent!)
and I quite like it.

We seem to be upsetting alot of chairmen this summer! Each and every time the Donny or Preston chairmen kick off in the press it just puts us more in the driving seat as we calmly go about our business.
 

NEWARKREDS!

Tell you what is laughable how gullible some of our support is. Like the Preston Chairman would come out with comments like this. The majority of Chairman these days are astute business men and won't let personal differences get in the way of a good deal. The fact remains we got a trouble maker at the helm wich is fine as long as we are winning however i am worried that Davies fell out with Preston and then the scum.

It appears on the surface he is a bit of a repeat offender? lets hope not or we could have trouble on the horizon?

If the **** isnt happy with us why doesnt he report us to the Football League instead of spouting complete bollocks to the media :unsure:

A lot of chairman saying this kind of stuff about us recently.

Donny Rovers, Carlisle, Swansea, Bristol City...it can't be good for business, long-term.

I would Imagine that, taking into account how ND has made his pennies, he is a ruthless bloke to deal with. Ruffling a few feathers along the way maybe par for the course.

On careful consideration of the evidence, and weighing up the facts and opinions, Preston can, in my sincere opinion, go and bollocks.

"We do not like to do our business in the public arena and would not have publicised this had comments not been made about it in Nottingham. We do not believe it is in anybody's interests to discuss transfer information unless something changes and these bids have clearly been unacceptable to us."


Right. So why, on the 27th of May, did you make this statement:


"I can confirm that Preston North End did receive two bids from Nottingham Forest for Paul McKenna but both bids have been rejected by the Club."

:wacko:

Hardly.

Doncaster haven't criticised us. They've simply said they're not interested in selling.

Carlisle.. I assume you mean the Garner transfer - the only vaguely negative comment from them was aimed at the players agent for insisting on a release clause in the contract (which we then met).

Swansea, Bristol City.. No negative comments, whether aimed at us or not. Bristol stayed remarkably quiet throughout (as did Forest), and all we heard from Swansea was some spin about their own bid (with Forest staying quiet again).

The only one really to have a moan is Preston, and that seems to be a personal issue more than anything else. Especially as their Chairman is complaining about us "doing business through the press", despite being the first one to go to the media..

That was a tad embarrasing for them. Officially announcing they had a bid accepted and then Ando's dad seemingly perplexed !

No wonder my post count..
Preston can f*** right off. Their chairman is a right moaning bastard.

He's complaining about the conduct of our bids.

Well we should be complaining about the fact that he goes sobbing to the media everytime he's scared.

f*** McKenna, you can keep him for all I care.
