That you don't seem to suggest an alternative route to the one TM has taken. You are the one whinging... what would you have done?

Concern away... what would you have done differently?

and? This is not news and it's not ideal, what is your point? You preferred the Pressley approach?

Yup. I don't think anyone would have been bothered if he'd been released, and he nearly was.

And the ones we brought in early? How did they work out?

I agree... but for whatever reason TM didn't fancy them or they didn't want to come. Let's see who comes in... maybe they will compare favorably to a journeyman with an attitude problem.

TM could have chosen to ignore the loan market altogether and bring in the best available frees in June and get them gelled as a team. He chosen instead to wait for a little more quality, and wait you have to at our level to get those loans. Which would you prefer?

I'm glad to read that his back injury is behind him... but then it always was. :D

I will still respect him for taking this approach but my opinion of him as a manager may have diminished. (obviously)

TM that is... and I'm talking about his bottle not his testicles (although I'm sure they are high quality) For holding his nerve, not panicking, doing it his way and playing the waiting game despite increasing pressure. Respect.

''and season ticket sales are imperative to get these deals over the line'' You think that's the way to go about it Chief? Buy more tickets or no deals over the line? Idle it might be but a nasty threat it is.

Are you pretending to be stupid? The two things are unrelated. I am sure we will sign players but that does not excuse Waggot's fear mongering tactic to drum up ST sales. It's a bluff but its a cynical and unpleasant one. I would implore the SBT intelligentsia to step away from this one...

They can indeed, never a truer word spoken. "We'd still like to bolster our forward line and the wide areas, and season ticket sales are imperative to get these deals over the line''

Unfortunately he has misjudged the required tone and what it sounded like was a threat.

Those are great things and I applaud them... but they don't make Waggot's remark any more palatable.

If there is another way to read that sentence it would take a fool to find it.

"We'd still like to bolster our forward line and the wide areas, and season ticket sales are imperative to get these deals over the line''

I believe he is being dishonest. Buy a ST = you get your dream winger? You believe that? Really?

Very very ill judged remarks.

Was always gonna be!
