No, but when they get wind of these things they could take him to one side and appeal to his commitment to the club and professionalism. |

Eamonn Mac is unconcerned, so I guess there are no major revelations about the club itself. I wonder if any former players or coaches are concerned, especially with any further revelations about the betting scandal. |

Maybe a few things which he has been naughty about. "He's got a few things completely wrong, which it would have been nice to correct before publication, but there is nothing in there that we are too worried about."'"

Why would the club mind Longy releasing a book? He is not scathing of the club in anyway.
Like all books, there will some half truths and some inaccurate stories, but nothing that a publisher would put its Iestyn on the line for.
As for the storm around the club, well, when do Saints rise up best?

That is what I was asking. Do we think he would be?
If, for example, he was scathing in his criticism of Mick Potter or a squad member, it would hardly help things for us in the remaining two games. |

He isn't, though.
If he was, I would imagine the club would have a polite word, but why bother when there is nothing to bother about? |

It's all good then. Have you read it? Is it worth a purchase? |

Scully's was ok in parts. His telling of the Brisbane game was superb, sent shivers down my spine thinking back to it. But other parts were actually very dull, and I found myself skim reading.
Kris Radlinski's is an excellent book. |

Scully's and Joyntie's books were ok. Paul Newlove's was the worst I have ever read. A 3 year old could have done better. |
