Liked James gave 100 % but if we want to improve we have to move on, big recruiting to be done.

Gassy, you are not going to believe anything I say based on “we are still negotiating and the club are confident”
That’s what I was told 2 days ago, I haven’t said 100% he is going to sign, I haven’t said nothing bar this.
I still remember the day Gashead81 phoned me and asked for Gary Johnson’s number because the board wanted to speak to him.

For sure. There are a number of players id have driven to Walsall before JC, and hopefully DC will come in for them, but i'm quietly confident GC will put together a better side.

Agreed let's hope DC fancies Benno and Payner too, expect Leads to rock up there next week. We have to be ruthless DC gave Leads a new deal last year and i thought that was the wrong decision personally. Cogs has got some room to move now expect his phone to be red hot upon his return from America.

Yeah I said that was a mistake at the time. DC said he wanted quality over quantity but then offers Leads a new deal and signs a LB who already had an injury record.
If you wants a small but quality squad you cant carry players who spend more time with the physio than their teammates

If THD was not injured don t think we would have got him in fairness.

True, but unless you aim to have a big squad you cant take risks on players who have been injured for a season.

Before we all attack various posters about their sources and the info they have posted, you have to give some credit to Paul for stating where he got the info from.
All he said was that JC had been improved offered terms and was confident he would sign. The fact he hasn’t doesn’t mean that he is discredited in any way. Or certainly not any more than the person who posted that Cogs did not pick up the phone to negotiate the terms with Cogs. In that incident it was stated as “fact” but with no evidence of such event happening or saying where that information was gleaned from.
I did ask Paul to pass on GJs number to me, and I can tell you DC was 1 game away from being sacked and GJ being appointed following our poor start to the conference campaign but he didn’t feel he could get us promoted on the budget we had available.
I know everyone likes an I told you so speech but let’s all take note of what actually was said.
Perhaps we were quite right not to pay anymore for, who is to all intents and purposes, a L2 player and perhaps JC thought that loyalty may even get you a bit more playing time up the road in the midlands.

Thanks, I appreciate your comments.
I’ve been ridiculed on here in the past over CoronaGate when I grassed up Lines and Coles on our relegation season under Penney/Campbell for buying bottles of Corona in club clothing at 5pm in the Notts County hospitality bar. Again that day I was guest of Notts County to which all their fans said no wonder you are going down! I’m also ridiculed on here for my friendship with Lee Johnson, I find it all good humour but enough on here who personally know me know this is true as well.
Like you said, I never said “fact” I just stared the position 2 days ago and I know nothing of the manager not taking his calls. If we don’t sign the 6ft 6 foreign chap I mentioned then again I’m only saying what an agent has told me!
I think it’s best I just keep stuff to myself but even on JC I never said anything of fact, just the on going situation.

I think it’s best I just keep stuff to myself To be honest, I know it's supposed to be a forum, but I don't think any of this ITK stuff really helps anyone. If it's nailed on gonna happen, we'll find out anyway. If it's juicy gossip, then sometimes it's best not to even post it. If it's supposed to be kept quiet then best to keep it quiet. If it is true and interesting, then usually the whole thread is all about the person who posted it coz they can't divulge their sources. If it turns out to be wrong then that person loses credibility and gets the watered ripped, even if it was a reasonable shout. It just seems to me that it is often pointless, doesn't ever benefit anyone, is sometimes divisive, and often has a negative effect. Not specifically talking about your stuff, but rumour, and gossip, and itk stuff generally.

Facts from someone who works with players on a daily basis That’s not facts, that’s you saying something on a forum, that allegedly came from the club. To take it as fact, you would need to quote the individual who allegedly said it and for him to verify that.

Who has edited my post? I’m still waiting for Gassy to explain why I’ve lost all credibility with him for saying we were still negotiating with him and confident he would sign? I never said 100% will sign, I said confident which I was told we were.

Harry Souttar is technically 'foreign' and 6ft 6in, it isn't him, is it? Or maybe the Portuguese striker Leonardo Rocha? en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonardo_Rocha_(footballer,_born_1997)

At 6’ 6” he could hold the corner of a tent up if it broke during a game.

I never said 100% will sign, I said confident which I was told we were. Jeez calm down, sorry that I wasn't on the forum at night when you wanted It's true, you didn't say 100% he's going to sign. But you came out with a very confident position and got it wrong. If you had said "the club believe he is very likely to sign" it would have been different. But instead you talked from your point of view. If now you're just going to post stuff of potential news then in my eyes, its the same as Know-all & Severnincider with "good news soon" - Essentially I could tell you anything along these lines & then claim it after as that was the news I was talking about. In my opinion, if you're going to post about being ITK on a forum - you better be damn sure the information you're spilling is correct. Otherwise you'll lose the credibility you've got/trying to build up. If we do happen to sign 2 players next week where one is bold, 6"6 & foreign then I will personally apologise & say thank you for telling us & I'm sorry I didn't believe you. I'm not afraid to admit I am wrong, rather than brag about the people I know instead of admitting I called it wrong...
