Cioffi Interview in the Guardian

give what people have been saying about falling out with players I thought the dont go down the "dictatorial" route a bit strange.

I don't get why people are saying as fact he's fallen out with players? Players not good enough to make the first team wanting to go out on loan isn't falling out with players, it's just the natural consequence of having an over large squad and not being able to play them all.

By the way Vincelot has had an operation and his season is already over.

This phrase always amuses me. It's completely baseless and without reason. 

Let's say for example that I suggested something horrible about you and posted it up on an internet forum. By your own logic I don't need to prove anything because apparently I wouldn't have said it if there wasn't some basis to it's validity.

Or let's take another example, I could suggest that a player has gone out no loan not because he wanted to or because the club wanted him to get match-fit, but because he's fallen out with the manager. I don't need any facts to substantiate my argument because there's no smoke without fire...!

Ok, fair enough. Which players or staff have you been talking to then...? I only ask because having spoken to various people at the club directly (players, coaches and club staff, as recently as Saturday) I don't have the same viewpoint as you. 

Or are you now saying that because a rumour is repeated that it gains more validity...?

Josh Payne asked to go on loan to get more game time. He would have liked to play more at Crawley but knew he wouldn't get the amount of game time he wanted so asked to go on loan. I actually think it's reasonably mature of Josh, Gabby and the club to allow this rather than insisting that he stays regardless, just to boost our squad size.

Jimmy needed to get match-fit after a long lay-off. He's now getting that fitness in an easier league by playing regularly. Whilst I don't disagree that there are time when we would want to see him at the club before January (Saturday against Swindon springs to mind) there's no point having him here if he's not getting back to full match fitness. So the move seemed logical to me.

Morais never wanted to be here. He engineered a move in January with Bolton that fell through at the last minute without telling the club until the last minute and without their initial consent. Have a look through his playing career and the number of clubs that he's been to and see his history. He was more unpopular with the other players than you realise. You just needed to sit with the non-playing squad members on match-day and listen to the comments to know that. His move to Oldham was engineered by him again. No rift with the manager, he just wanted to be up north and try to cash in while he still can.

Which brings us to Bully. Now I spoke to Bully on Saturday and I certainly didn't come to the conclusion that you have. What did he say to you then...?

Or does everything I've spelled out for you defy logic...?

So just listened to latest podcast and Jimmy has been quoted as saying he wont come back till Cioffi has gone. You still believe that Jimmy is only out on loan getting match fitness? Head in sand springs to mind!

Another one with their head in the sand. I’ve have smith in my team just on the basis that at least he puts a shift in, which is one step ahead of the current crop.

Jimmy along with other some senior players have been frozen out for whatever reason. He said he was fit to play but couldn’t even get on the bench so he’s gone to Yeovil “to get match fit” and has done well and scored goals. There isn’t much difference between the top 8 of the National league and the bottom 8 of league 2 which is where we are so don’t fall for the lower league speel. He is much better than Camara and Allarakhia but has been frozen out. Nothing to do with his loyalty.
