Colours Nailed and all that

And that signing was far less of a risk than Idahs. So I agree with you, it was worth the punt, I see why they did it, but you live and die by your decisions and have to take responsibility for them.

But ultimately you're pointing out that the signing didn't work out. How dare you publicise that and cause embarrassment for the club.

It’s not embarrassing for the club, it’s normal for a signing not to work, the majority of them did the job they intended to. There is no criticism from me.

You seem to be criticising though right? Even though you don’t know the details you criticise based on those details.

 

[TruckerJack]

As i say, let's hope they've learnt.

I doubt they will be the first club to buck the trend. Business as usual.

I'm definitely criticising the decision to sign Idah yes. By the club staff that allowed it to happen.

Not the club as a whole.

Again, this isnt a black or white thing. We shouldn't be allowing an assistant manager to sign our most expensive signing in years under the circumstances we did. I e assistant with no real record of success for a club struggling in the championship. Free transfer or loan, then yes, different story.

But was O Dea soley responisble for making the actual signing or just iniating the contact?
Maybe the recruitment team then took it on.
Who cares its done we have a new coaching team in place now and it is about them this thread is about.

There you go then, that’s the difference. I’m not criticising, I am saying it’s normal.

It’s also normal for management teams to sign players they know.

His words were that he was the one who bought him. We can interpret that any way we like I suppose but seems clear Idah was signed by the management team.

I’m thinking of locking it. It’s not going to get any less tedious, history shows us that.

O'Dea will be employed in football long after Sheehan has gone. Just my opinion, and watch this space.

Good example! Russ 100% signed Fisher and Darling, straight from his MK days. That was 3m in total and probably half our kitty that year.

No idea about Vigouroux.

You're doing what you do now when you know there's no where left to turn and you've lost the argument. You go all disingenuous and misrepresent what's being said and cling to a general point and make yourself appear to be duller than you actually are.

So for a final time, allowing the management team to sign players they know is normal and common and potentially beneficial.

What you are deliberately not grasping and acknowledging Is that allowing the soon to be sacked assistant manager with little previous track record sign the club's most expensive player in years while struggling in the championship is not normal or advisable.

I want to know who was behind us signing Jo Moreira and Linton Brown?

Darts at a Rothmans at lunchtime between Doug and Robin I heard.
