YES, YES, YES & YES. You may think I'm deluded but I personally don't care.

Know a lot but regrettably can't say ...

Regrettably, called confidentiality ( and if you offered me a fortune, still would'nt divulge ).

It's a question of honesty & integrity.

Have you any idea how sad you sound? Really? Ooh I'm in the know but couldn't possibly say! As has been proved over and over you know fuck all about anything. Please... Get some help.

That's pretty offensive and do you think I really care?

Honesty & integrity, perhaps you just don't understand?

That's obviously the case, take care and have a great evening.

Oh no, I thought you had gone to bed and signed out a few posts back.

He is towing the party line - as any main employee must. He is a good choice and fisher and Waggot have done their homework. Many managers would walk or use the situation as an excuse. He fronts up in an intelligent and articulate way - but he is on the same page as fisher and I believe for many fans that will become an Achillis for him.

We're back to that old chestnut are we "I know but I can't say" pretty much like we are in for a shock come the JR something else you had inside info on.

Let's be honest RFC so far you've got sweet FA right, you've gotta be right at least once though so keep throwing it out there sunshine one day you'll be able to give it the "told you so" line


Never mind 'one day', you still don't get it and haven't got it but keep smiling.

It was meant to be offensive. Don't you get bored of talking crap?

Wait and see what? I've not said what will or won't happen. Doesn't change the fact that I believe you are full of shit though.

Pressley knew what he was signing up for and has worked with unpopular chairmen before IIRC.

It's going to come down to results on the pitch. Struggle for goals, especially from midfield, and some of "his" decisions will be questioned. No -10 points this season, so in many people's eyes no excuses.

Personally I like the guy and think he's as good as we're going to get and a good fit for where our club is financially and in terms of the plan for the future on the pitch. I'd keep him around.

You may possess honesty and integrity but how do you know your "sources" possess these same qualities? Seems to me they're feeding you a line and you're taking it.

Football is all about opinion and my opinion may be different to yours but perhaps you need to take a more open and balanced view.

I hope you enjoy the forthcoming season as much as I intend to!

If there is any feeding going on its RFC feeding his own delusions. Hes not being told anything and he doesn't know anyone. I doubt he's been out of his bedroom in months.

If we're in a relegation battle after Xmas I wouldn't be surprised if SISU sacked him so TF can say SP got it wrong. Nothing to do with the shit anti success environment created by TF & JS off course.

I think RFC's real problem is he hasn't been in the bedroom for months!

That's really funny, you don't know who my sources are and even if you did, it wouldn't help you. LOL

My view is that the club have employed a great asset in SP we thought we had 1 in robins but he couldn't deal with the behind the scenes panto
I really feel that there would be an enormous shift in this clubs fortunes if the Ricoh deal could be struck the positivity around the fan base would transfer onto the pitch and I honestly believe that SP would maximise this impact for me he is doing a great job mediating the gap between fans and club so of course he's towing the party line but let's hope it's for the greater good

Couple of nutters who didn't get their facts right, especially the guy that said Rioch was hounded out of the club! No Wigan poached him from us

There seemed to be a simmering resentment against him at the phone in tonight. He seems to be in danger of being lumped in with Sepella fisher etc. and be held accountable for off field woes.

Unfair in my view. He is the perfect choice in this most adverse of situations - upbeat, single minded and focused. We should appreciate he is here - worrying times.

He is in a nightmare position where your bosses have made ridiculous decisions that have affected your ability to do your job.

Decisions that have very possibly hurt themselves more than the people they were attempting to put out of business.

If he comes out and says this its job over.

The best he can do is say a return the Ricoh is vital for the future of the club. The ability to attract players is massively affected by the Ricoh etc etc..Which he did fair play to him.

He also took a bit of flack tonight regarding his signings last season. I think regarding that he should be judged on his signings this season last season was the usual car crash where the manager doesn't stand a chance.

I think he squirms a bit when asked about things like the new stadium, he has to tow the party line but you can hear his discomfort. Thought the criticism tonight though was of him personally and he handled it OK.

Definitely he took a big sigh before answering the new stadium bit. However to me his real thoughts were the same of all of us.
The Ricoh is the only deal that will be happening

Perhaps he actually communicates with his bosses and believes their honesty and financial commitment?

You obviously know the truth and far more than me!

Make your mind up. Are your crazy thoughts your opinion or do you have a source that is always wrong?

RFC I suggest you listen again. Listen to the pause when SP is asked about the new stadium.

Also listen to the way he says 'yes I believe that is the plan even if we moved back to the Ricoh. '

Then listen to him when he talks about something he genuinely believes in such as Jordan Clarke playing wing back.

You will notice a distinct difference in SP's voice and the way in which he uses pauses.

I would hazard a guess that if someone there was paying particular attention you would also have seen a difference in his body language when answering these two questions.

Perhaps you should learn who they are for yourself. That might HELP you stop looking an idiot all the time.


Football's all about opinion, please don't attempt to provoke me as it may have consequences. In your opinion, I am an idiot but do you think I really care?

Truth is , I don't. Have a great evening and a very nice weekend.

Only SP knows what he truly thinks. Even his boss wouldn't know that.
Have you ever had to go along with something your boss does that you would do differently?

Lets hope his bosses get on with doing the main deal ASAP.

Getting back to purchasing ACL.

Can I be at the front of the queue when the consequenses are dished out by you?

I don't see any need in calling you an idiot or similar. You do a very good job of making that fact very clear to everyone.
