On the road to no where
just got hold of a friend who does a bit of freelancing for the Express and Star (not necessarily a recommendation................. in fact not any sort of recommendation!)
slightly cryptic conversation but then isn't that always the case with self proclaimed "journos"? Anyway, he says that according to his sources (undefined but hinted to be within wwfc - could easily be no more than the tea lady or the kit man) they have now got permission to speak to Gus and they think they can persuade him to sign on a long term deal. Gave me a load of bollocks about they were going to wait for the summer to sign McDermott which is why they were only offering Curbs a short term deal. Now that McDermott is a definite no they are going all out for Gus and will happily pay compensation for his remaining contract plus Tanno and other coaches etc.
Let me emphasise that I think he had rehearsed the argument when talking about doing a deal to sign McDermott a couple of days ago so I am not convinced by a very long way but then there's always the old "no smoke without fire" routine.................
TBH I wish I hadn't phoned him because I don't honestly think he knows any more than you or I can read on the internet but his occassional bits published give him a spurious legitimacy. Anyway I am now terminally depressed so hoping that the rumour on twitter that they are speaking to Glenn Roeder is more than just a cruel joke or that Wolves fans will turn round and beg for them to sign Steve Bruce.
f*** shit bollocks shit f*** and arseholes................................
