What an absolute load of bollocks!! couldn’t a piss in a up run Mo brewery!! To be fair this explanation is very plausible. Wouldnt be the first or last time it happens. As of 1st July mcaleny had no obligation to inform the club he was signing elsewhere so it could of been the case of ill let u know Keith and then just went and signed elsewhere And also if we thought he was looking elsewhere and put a statement out saying as much without him formally rejecting a contract then it would have been seen by him as they dont want me. And vise versa if we thought he was goin to sign without him saying im goin to sign and put a statement out saying that and then he went elsewhere we would have looked even more incompetent. So silence until the facts is best way imo Edited July 2, 2021 by Chris15Arm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have released a statement on the lines of….We’ve offered Conor an extremely lucrative contract that the player is considering, it may not be good enough. We’ve done our best and we hope he’ll still be with us for next season!! We heard absolutely f*** all and still haven’t!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So silence until the facts is best way imo He will have been told by Salford of the players they were looking to sign. KC will have told him who he hoped to sign and the difference in ambition, plus probable higher wages, would convince anyone as to where their future lay.

Chaddy14 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 I think the reality of having limited budget at a club that always loses a fortune each season is starting to sink in with most of us. KC has a major task on to assemble a squad with that budget, especially when he is in competition with other clubs with rich benefactors (eg Salford). We also need to recognise that many fans are preferring to starve the club of funds as their protest against the owners . This is their perfect right to do if they wish but let's not kid ourselves that this has consequences when competing for players. Keep working at it Keith...good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality dawned on all of us years ago. You're asking the wrong question if the club are struggling to compete for players why are they therefore going out of there way to alienate the fanbase. When the point your making shows you need them onside paying through the turnstiles to compete on the pitch. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knows the club, owners choice in signing when he first came, manager signed him for ntfc, and we are desperate for his exact type of play. How it didn't occur to anyone at the club to bring him back is baffling Curle brought him to Northampton... Then didn't play him much, and shipped him off to Swindon after just six months. Pretty obvious Curle was never going to bring him here, however much we need a similar style of player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
