He wanted Steve Gallen. Openly said so to me and another person at the training ground less than 18 months ago. So I’m going to say given he specifically named who he wanted, openly and in person, that you’re wrong there.

Ah, but don't fall into the trap of believing everything that Robinson says.

Plus Tiger said they had that discussion within management a while back and it was a position they didn't feel necessary at present so if it was perhaps this bloke might fit the bill.

Interesting how everyone wants to know everything about the goings on behind the scenes, loves a little gossip, and reads everything into any half story or comment from the board. During each transfer window, these pages are flooded with people wanting information.

But when information is provided then it suddenly becomes crass to share this knowledge. But only if it's right, they love pointing out when it's not!

So I know it goes against everything some want to say, but yes we did have a deal in place for Grigg only for it to be pulled at the last minute, as I said. And yes, we did everything we could to bring O'Donnell in, and he was initially open to a move, but changed his mind just before the Newcastle game, as I said.

I was also the first to say that deals were done for Holland and Kelly, although got Marcus Browne wrong for those wanting to have a dig!!

So, money really wasn't a problem, both deals were accepted by the selling clubs. But we wasn't going to compromise the talent we were looking at once these deals fell through.

So feel free to ignore what I post, or jump in with little personal jibes, but maybe some can climb off their high horses for a little while!

Did you get through the whole post without cringing?
 
I didn’t listen, but was there a subtle change in the “you’ll have definite news about the stadium by the end of the season” to “you’ll hear when we have something to tell you”?
 
I didn`t listen either but I know we aren`t moving anytime soon and the pressing matter of the lease will arrive long before any "move".


PS: I am not "ITK" , friends with, drinking buddies with,related too or knobbing anyone at the club or on this forum.

Thanks.

interesting that our itk guru only jumped on the Grigg news once Karl had mentioned it was a non runner on the 5 minute forum because Sunderland would not let him go to a promotion rival..Our itk guru was though still insisting talks were ongoing on the friday (last day) of the window and Grigg wanted to come, if he wanted to come and the deal was still alive what was Grigg doing talking with Tranmere along with 2 other strikers on the Friday when Karl had already told us 24 hours before the deal was non runner.

So we know of 3 alleged deals were in the pipeline 1 suddenly didn't want to move south, 1 was suddenly cancelled as the other club suddenly realized we were a promotion rival and the 3rd was off due to a last minute goal in a cup tie. We are so unlucky with these permanent signings, such a pity we didn't suddenly cancel 1 of ours going because we never got those 3 we wanted.

5 to 5 friday Melton Mowbray ask for Jack n Ory

Yeah tiger said they regret putting a deadline on it. Things are happening but won’t be communicating that soon

Doesn't surprise me. There has (from any whispers or lack of them) been either very little or no meaningful progress on the stadium. I think EY is right, we will be re-signing the lease well before any stadium news emerges.

Or could it be that those working on the stadium project are not the ones who are usually in the media, and in fact are very good at keeping their counsel while things progress behind the scenes............................
