He's got one leg shorter than the other- utter joke signing.
Mouldy Boots said:So is this a statement to McGhee actually making a mistake in your eyes?
Turkey said:GNW has been pursued by a number of clubs this summer, including Gillingham I think. I seem to recall reading he didn't go anywhere due to finances. I think it said his wages are very high and Burnley may have wanted a fee for the loan. So that may explain why we looked for a player we could buy before a player we could loan.
London Irish said:No, McGhee has been forced to go down to the level of Orient Reserves because of the lack of financial backing he has received. My view is that McGhee would have wanted to have brought in GNW a long time ago if he had been given a free hand to do so.
London Irish said:That's highly likely, we will have to pay a premium for him. But it would be money well spent. The squad have to be given some support, the current situation just leaves both the players and McGhee too exposed to the worst scapegoating ranting section of our support. Dick Knight has to step up and help them.
Kinky Gerbils said:I hink also part of the reason it has taken this long is because Mcghee may have been looking for someone that has a better injury track record.
Mouldy Boots said:Maybe DK and the board doesn't want to help him he would rather the new manager have any money available!
London Irish said:That's undoubtedly true, the Turienzo situation has left us very risk-averse.
London Irish said:That's undoubtedly true, the Turienzo situation has left us very risk-averse. The problem with not taking risks is you don't sign any players. Which is a problem.

That is what he said at the Fans Forum.Kinky Gerbils said:I do wonder if Mcghee was held back over his signing.
London Irish said:It's not surprise you're a science fiction/superhero fan, that's some fantasy world you inhabit.

And given that we managed to pay his wages last season AND a fee for the loan, and since then the wage bill has gone down, we should be able to afford him.
