Mate, they have been baking and ' lathering'since nov 2019.
The pudding would be burnt by now...
Have they? Just because you can start your pudding at a certain window doesn’t make it optimal. Not every process is Masterchef or CSI Teddy - crammed into a 45min window for dramatic effect :-).

IIRC, even when Des was here we couldn't attract talent.
That’s very true. Des always had players knocking him back. The agents I know said dealing with crusher was a fucking nightmare too.
He wouldn’t answer the phone and never returned calls. I guess it’s hard to talk on the phone with a mouthful of four n twenty

You are not old enough to remember the real bad times
Maybe not but in these times stuff like this in a professional organisation shouldn’t be happening. I’m not saying we should be premiers every year but hell Atleast be contenders for finals footy at the very least.
The club went through tough times back in the days to build and get bigger and stronger but yet we are in 2020 and sitting dead last with nothing to look forward to. Great management skills

Maybe we are lacking some key ingredients to make a good pudding, and have thrown out a few since nov and starting again.

Crusher is the **** that's started this whole mess... lazy fat fuck. Des and he deserve a special place in a 3 way sandwich

The occasional egg will have two yolks. Doesn’t mean the carton is ruined...

Daily telegraph = dartboards
‘well actually it would be more concerning if their dartboards were full of bs as it means the club has been chasing no one . I think most in here would hope that the DT dartboard is somewhat correct as it means they are atleast trying , otherwise what the fark are they doing to improve the side.

There are literally hundreds of league players, every now and then you throw a dart and get the bulls eye. Other times they haven’t even had a clue we were signing someone ie CHN.

As I’ve maintained for years, we are always actively trying to recruit and when we announce a few great signings some people will look silly

You won’t look silly Baz because you’re not one of the ones who is constantly negative and saying the club don’t even chase players. We have some very exciting signings coming up and I look forward to being back on top

Not all the smoke is coming from the papers though. Some from board members, some from player mamagers and also smoke from players themselves.

Dont knock the telegraph mate. The board will get upset with you that your attacking them. After all they get most of the info from the club :kissingheart:

That’s not true mate. The telegraph hate us even more since the mad Monday incident and we don’t tell them shit. Maybe all the local hangers on need to zip their lips

I hope you're right otherwise the next few seasons will be as painful as the last three.
