Its called misleading people - in fact it's dishonest, so then it makes you the question the morals and ethics of those who release such stories. The majority of us who did that at work would be sacked for being so dishonest. I would rather hear the silence as news than some pie int he sky story abotu rumours had it blah blah and at the end of the day day it probably meant they phoned villa and asked is berger free - "NO" end of negotiations. They hadnt even spoken to the player for gods sake. You either have a consitence stance on your transfer dealings and stand by what you say or stop stating one thing and then doing another when it suits you - at the end of the day the fans make the club, so dotn treat them like rubbish at every opportunity.

You wouldnt be as dissapointed of course, but thats the point the club bit it up as it was a high profile potential signing and they knew the consequences - if they didnt then they should get someone into the PR department who has a brain. Right now Latics fans are feeling dissapointed about this - not a smart move at all by the club. The club has time and time again said they wont discuss whom they are trying to sign for obvious reasons and the only time they do officially post it is when a deal ahs been done and the sign somebody soon post is quickly folowed up by we have signed them. That is the norm for the club and how they have done things; so everybody had the right to think this deal was all but done by them going public. The only movement away from the clubs normal route has been when the papers have got hold of it and so they felt they have had to come out with a statement - like Allot, but on this occasion it was a bolt from the blue and right now the club have egg on thier faces and we are disgruntled.

Close call with Taylor but for me Warney the lad defends from the front and has made so many goals with his tenacity - whether it be for himself or others he never gives up and always gives the proverbial 110%

Just posting my greets on this board as i'm a noob; usually my Latics posting board is the Oldham Athletic E-zine board, i didn't realise there was another tics board that wasnt full of doofus's Hey to all
