Dick_Valentine Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I don't expect to see my team mentioned on the 6 O'Clock news two days on the trot. Please OAFC, sort this god awful mess out and return us to the dull lives we've all become accustomed to in our devotion to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 (edited) I'm starting to come around to the thinking of play it, with regards to the last 24hrs....we've come this far, we have feedback from fans and sponsors, possibly got him signed anyway we've made our bed so we lie in it. Nip it in the bud as soon as, we either have or haven't and reap the whirlwind. I have my mind up with regards to what I will do if we have and I will respect those who may differ. We all love our club and we are all not happy with the way this has been handled regardless if we are pro or con CE. I'm sure we can all agree on this point And I agree with maddog, if feeling more down with it all the longer it continues.

oafc0000 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I personally feel that what hughes did once he hit that car is far worse than what evans is supposed to have done. Some are suggesting hughes was ok as it was just drinking driving. He'll have seen those bodies and run off. Far worse. It's not about one being worse than the other. It's about remorse and seeking forgiveness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc0000 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Neil Joy just read a brief statement on SSN. Handled horribly. Disgusted, to be honest. It's was awful. Very clear we are signing him from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grylls Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 This is a farcical litany of monumental and repeated balls ups. They should have done it and then announced it which would have probably had less kick-back as the longer it drags on the more people who aren't even associated to the club feel they can have some input to it. The club looks weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disjointed Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Playershare should form a view. My view is this: suspend any payments to the club if we sign Evans. Otherwise, Playershare is indirectly funding him. All those in favour? Totally agree, I suppose this is then down to the playershare committee and possibly all contributors.
