Red Exile Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 completely surreal situation. The club employs a media team, presumably in part to manage news emerging from the club. This is the biggest story in a good few years and yet the exclusive confirmations are in the local press. Now, I'll bet that the Post and Bournemouth Echo are putting two and two together and jumping the gun, but for heavens sake…unless, of course, it's not yet a done deal. Assuming it is all sealed then this is a media department shambles. Hoping it is sealed! Edit: Thanks heavens it is!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humour me, if this is legit (either timing wise or factually) why hasn't Lee himself started interacting with the fans...... Maybe he has got a life!

I Am A Cider Drinker Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 This error has got to mean that other signings are due to be announced at the same time, the article wasn't even a confirmation it was an interview with Tomlin to go along side the confirmation, someone has messed up and will get a slap on the wrists, it seems obvious he has signed but who else along with him???

AJgEEZa Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 6 minutes ago, ChippenhamRed said: It's pretty obvious that the article was posted in error. No one associated with the club - least of all the manager - is going to break the official silence until the news is officially announced. Your alternative suggestion that the content of the article itself was not true seems unlikely, to put it mildly. I said throughout that I believe he signed. I know children however that could mock that stuff up. I was just saying that until something more concrete appears. You may want to wait a little longer. I know it's stupid as we agree he has signed but I don't buy the announcement. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukneil Posted July 5, 2016 Report Share Posted July 5, 2016 Landing on OTIB 5 minutes ago the thread name on the home page was literally 'Lee Tomlin (merged) off'... Extreme panic while my iPad slowly opened the full thread title to reveal off was short for official. Thanks a bunch for that! Thread title now 'back to waiting for confirmation' is a relative major plus for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not disagree. It could easily have been a wind up and at this point, it still could be. Have we had Jon comment.... Nope. Lee....... Nope......... Tomlin........ Nope......... Bristol city football club........... Nope............ Do you see where I am coming from? He has signed, I know it deep down but it doesn't add up. It's a botch job of epic proportions isn't it!
