So just read that Dean Ritchie post again which claimed we lost him (Api) in the 11th hour and we had even set up a press conference? The rumour on here a few days ago also said announcement at the end of the week? Just a coincidence??
So here's my question. This article claims we knew a little while ago due to Barrett, therefor no surprise to our club?. So did Api just be a complete A'hole and pull out of us signing on the same day of it's announcement OR is something else happening?
Something isn't adding up at the moment.
I'm only guessing here like the journalists. My take on this is the club knew we lost api potentially signing 2 weeks ago and allowed the journos their moment of foolishness of having a scoop. If Lynn Anderson is like her father then she will thrive on these circumstances.
My other take on this is that the club has made 3 deadlines to ramien, api and ese. That's the precedent they're setting to players and managers. And 3 times we got used for leverage to increase their value. The club is vigilant in never repeating the buying habits of the previous admin.
I'm optimistic that the right players will come to us to join chn dwz Stimson and co.
