Given Jon's faculties, I'd imagine he's googled "Agents" and is currently getting loads of return calls from Thomas Cook & Lunn Polly! 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's how football works. My point is that they may have hid behind the results which elsewhere I stated, if so, was a "damn lie". The results were not bad enough in isolation. I don't buy into soundbites coming out of BCFC or OTIB. I have an opinion and genuinely don't give a flying fig if it isn't a popular one, adheres to the narrative or gets 'likes' or 'facepalms'.

Indeed- it's all very well (and fair enough in many ways) to say they're well paid professionals.. Bottom line is they're human,just like everyone else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted November 2, 2023 Report Share Posted November 2, 2023 Rumours or not, for the injury list to rise from 6 to 8 after an International break is quite something. Naismith and Williams joined the list ahead of the Coventry game and were not on International duty so that can't be attributed either. While McCrorie, Tanner, Atkinson, Vyner, Benarous all remained out and were medium to long term. Wells was injured at Leeds and remained so.

I found it staggering and completely unsurprising all that the same time. Maybe staggering because he said it out loud, unsurprising because it just confirmed how useless they are at the football side of things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think you've nailed the pretext for the sacking right there. Tinnion referenced fitness without specifically saying this was the reason. Given this period is when the rumours about Pearson being removed started in earnest, they would've been watching intently for anything that they could point at as justification for sacking. Having negligent assistants could be used. As someone said, the Coventry result probably scuppered their plans. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naismith was injured at Leeds, calf tightened in last 5-10 minutes. Heard about it earlyish in international break, so not something that happened on return. I think some posters alluded to it without saying so during the break, because they’d heard the same. This is a simple example of how a bit of “information” (mis-information - who knows), gets put out there and people start making 2+2 calculations. Thats not having a go at you Mr P. btw, it’s just how these things work. And it’s fine to question based on new information, the problem is being able to tell what is truthful and what isn’t. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
