Are you starting to think sacking Wendy might have been the right thing to do?

[steward 433]

Like who? Elphick, Cox, Lynch? Reid, Hart, Mayo?

Two of those i know were unhappy and i know a few more were

 

[Skaville]

Boothroyd is not Wilkins though

2 seperate people and has been said before maybe we got to 7th despite Wilkins not because of him

I believe quite a few of our better players would have gone if Wilkins stayed

I can categorically state that Hart and Mayo would have gone if Wilkins was still here.

:thud: THEY DID GO HE GOT RID OF

Which two and what's your source? I never knew you could learn so much from staring at the fans for 90 minutes every other week

Er yes dumbass, it was a joke

 

[beardy gull]

Ah yes, this fresh nugget of information which seems to have been gleaned from a "read between the lines" comment from our esteemed chairman tonight. Hardly a "from the horses mouth" categorical panning of Wilkins is it?

Is Glen Murray the most talented striker we've had at the club since Zamora? In my opinion, no. Leon Knight and a certain Nicky Forster take that accolade. Is he a better and more manageable prospect when you take age into account? Yes.

So, what may have caused this hinted at disharmony? Well, if you trust NSC (which largely, I don't), Murray was Lloyd and Knight's signing not Wilkins. That's something akin to the Schevchenko and Ballack situation at Chelsea and I seem to remember that going down like a ton of shit with Mourhinio and no doubt contributing to his departure. The decision appears to be made well ahead of Murray joining anyway. Wilkins wanted to keep Hammond on higher wages. They were not made available and the club promptly went and spent £300,000 on a player that the manager (in theory) had little to do with. No source of tension there then.

Should one player be bigger and more important at a club than a manager? Absolutely not. I think Murray has bugger all to do with the equation. It's got everything to do with the Adams/Knight/Wilkins love triangle.

So you dismiss one point of view on the fact that it's based on hearsay, and then make your own point based on hearsay. How does that work?

The ones i talk to as they come in the ground and leave the ground

The staring at the crowd is only part of the hours we work

and they quite happily discuss their intentions to leave the club with a steward on a match day?

If they trust you and have known you long enough hence i wouldn't name people as it is held in confidence

Is any of this ridiculous saga fact?

 

[steward 433]

Is any of this ridiculous saga fact?

Yep and a couple of people on here could back me up on several things

I.E. NMH talks to the players more than i do and knows a lot too

 

[Skaville]

Well they certainly seem quite loose tongued on their way into the office.

 

[beardy gull]

Good point, well made. Carry on.

You still didn't answer my question, and my source regarding Murray is about as reliable it can get.

 

[steward 433]

They quite often talk shop on the way in

And stop within earshot of where we have a cigarette

And a few i have known since before i was a steward etc

 

[Skaville]

As I've said, if you believe what you read on here, the decision to get rid of Wilkins was made in January anyway, so it's an irrelevant question. Wilkins was always going anyway.

Shifts made you tired again old man?

 

[1066gull]

I think it wouldn't have done us any harm if we stayed with Wilkins, because I had faith he would get us promoted but nevertheless I was excited when Adams signed.
