Rumour has it that Leeds would be prepared to let him stay with us permanently as some kind of deal involving Taylor. I know which one I'd rather have at Latics. NB This is rumour and I have not seen any confirmation or profess to have the info from a good source

News released on Leeds website. They have a 24 hr recall clause. Linkety link

See you all later. Got a life to get on with....

You missed off an X

Good Luck Neal. I hope you prove the Boundary Park Moron Crew wrong and go on to have a very successful career.

Too busy eating bananas? Hope you are enjoying the job.

I live in Newhey but am on the Shaw Exchange, so I am right on the outer limit of that exchange. Just ran a speed test and I am getting 778.89 Kbps download speed.

Left you feeling quite drained did it? What did they charge for a pint in there?

In that case, I think I am going to have to cancel my subscription to Player. Due to being miles away from the Shaw telephone exchange, I have a crap Internet connection, so streaming videos can be very frustrating. I aint paying for something I can't watch.

Please pass on my regards and best wishes next time you see Will. I hope it works out well for him. Cheers Martin

No it wasn't. £1M was certainly my minimum valuation at the time.

It was Redders' decision to go. He even says so and that he was being pig-headed in his AutoBiography - so not Joe's fault

So if we didn't re-sign Gregan who would our CB pairing be? Just Rubes on his own?

I thought DP said that Haining was never going to re-sign for us, not that we weren't interested. I read is as though Haining wasn't interested in coming back.

A PA system that you can actually hear

An outside smoking area (like at Bristol Rovers)

Sounds balanced to me

But they have to write both positive AND negative stories to be seen as impartial. The less we work WITH them, the more we work AGAINST them I am afraid. Also, it then gets to the stage where people get their noses put out of joint - and all of a sudden, you've got an increasingly disfunctional relationship on both sides - Latics refuse to help the Chron "break" any stories, so the Chron highlight more negative stories about Latics. The cycle MUST be broken because both sides are to blame and neither are benefitting from the current situation

Too tight to pay forn the Chron mate - already seen all the Latics News on the OS

Damn you Nik - you caught me with my subliminal CD messaging

I am very disappointed in this response from the club. Everyone knows that Newspapers HAVE to be seen to be impartial - hence, they publish positive stories and negative stories about the same news item. No LOCAL newspaper wants to be seen to be "taking sides" as they run the risk of alienating half of their readership. Look at the MEN - they keep a balanced output when it comes to football, because, to be considered as favouring one of the big two Manchester clubs could be catastrophic for their business. It is different for National Papers as they don't care of they upset people as they have a seemingly endless flow of news stories for them to report on. Now, what I would expect the club to do is sit down and develop a strategy of how they can "manipulate" the situation for their own benefit. We all know that the club like to break news stories themselves so that they generate Website Clicks and incomes from SMS subscriptions; but we also know that if we walk into the Newsagents and see a Headline in the Chron that looks like an exclusive or breaking story, we can't help but buy the paper there and then. So stage one is to understand "What is in it for them" and "What is in it for me". The strategy then needs to be developed whereby the club ACTIVELY INCLUDE the Chron in their Public Relations activities. There is still enough interest in Latics and enough news stories for these to be shared out between the club and local paper so that everyone is happy. The large majority of Oldhammers don't go to Boundary Park - and they won't if all they see are negative comments in the Chron. The local paper is our route into the homes of our biggest potential market and income stream. What has happened recently, is that Latics have starved the Chron of their Oxygen (Breaking News Stories or Insider Tit-Bits) to the extent that when asked not to publish information before everyone else (including Reuters, MEN, Associated Press et al) they clearly didn't feel that they were able to do this and published early. This puts the whole relationship in a negative spiral with each party "taking shots" at the other. Who wins? No-one. So, come on Latics. Be grown up about this, act like the adult, understand how the local paper can help us and how we can help the local paper - then we can all hold our heads up high and strengthen our futures - TOGETHER.

No problem, but I think we Agree to Disagree on this one. Can't believe that it took 4 pages to get to this. As far as who else, I think that we need to sign A.N Other-Stiker from Someone Else FC if they present themselves or are found by our networking and scouting intrastructure - but we need to strengthen our Centre Half position and then Goal Keeper before worrying too much about re-signing someone who failed to impress in 8 games last season and has divided opinion on here after 3/4 of a game last night.

I dont think that there is anything wrong with someone meeting a player and thinking that they are a nice person, but to use this and the third party account of a messageboard poster as a basis to tell other people (including myself) who were at the match that we should give the guy a contract, is somewhat questionable in my view. My take on Byfield's performance last night is - Energetic, but no End Result - 0 goals, 0 shots on target, 0 shots if I remember correctly. If we are to progress, we don't need another Paul Warne, we need another Chris Porter / Lee Hughes / Craig Davies / Jim Steele. In my opinion of course. JESUS - why do you have to constantly repeat and justify yourself on this Board. Tsk
