Spoke to someone close to the PNE hierarchy about this on Friday, you can believe me or not it’s up to you but I know it’s correct and the rumours surfacing on our forum suggest it’s starting to leak now.
Robinson, with respect, is talking utter nonsense, hence the bumbling response on the radio after your game, when he clearly did not know what to say.
The Ledson deal was agreed financially during the middle of last week, hence why all the press reports then surfaced and your manager said he probably wouldn’t play at the weekend.
He travelled up for talks and a medical later in the week. However, a knee issue which needs correcting sooner rather than later then appeared on the medical, which will require surgery and a spell on the sidelines.
This has led to PNE, regretfully, pulling out of the deal, having chased him for yonks and planned on having him in our squad for next season for 6 months. The lad himself was devastated as well, having waited for the move only for this to f**k it up, hence why he may not have looked fully on it when he came on on Saturday if what a couple of you have said on here is correct.
Like the other PNE fan has said, it’s a no-win situation really.
