Richie Mathers coming out of retirement....again



I was so annoyed with how much that got built up last year for it to then be that piece of news.

This had really better be HUGE news. The new owners started so well with the Toovey announcement. Hope they don't build this up for it to just be a bit well, meh. Or worse than meh.

Unless they only have size XXXXL?

Robbie Paul coming back?

I suspect the new owners aren't the ones in charge of the Twitter feed, at least there not the ones actually posting, I suspect the Twitter feed is still being managed by who did it before. This one strikes me as hyperbole, and I'm just expecting....news. There's going to be a lot of news in one form or an another (tickets/kit/players) and you're right, the club - whoever is actually responsible for the social media feed (ME's fav person?!) needs to be very careful managing expectations. Under promise, over deliver.

They are just concerned we won't update our Twitter every few minutes, like it isn't a nervous habit we've built up the last three months...

If it was 6 points instead of 12 I would be aiming for top 4 haha! Or at least a major assault in defending our Champ Shield!

If it IS that little weasel then prepare to be duped big time so he can have a laugh at you. He likes doing that.

The he takes lead off his wee sidekick, "Reading Bull" and gets her to post the threats. (well, he did till she got banned for telling me to commit suicide. Classy guy is Duffy)

To me, huuuuuuuuge news would be knowing he had finally got his jotters.

I can't see a person being announced as huge - after Toovey.
Unless, it is a big investor that leads to the much needed ground development.

I am going with the sale of Odsal and development opportunities. The new owners can't just have bought the club aiming to make money. There has to be something else happening - hopefully!

I'm not getting my hopes up.

Aside from announcing the INTENTION to buy odsal, would they have had enough time to actually put anything in place yet? The urgent focus would be signings, kit and the like at this moment I'd imagine.

Revealing the shirt, honour season tickets, new assistant, shop opens?

I'm not expecting anything too huge in terms of fan excitement. Though it might well be pretty huge news for the club, perhaps striking a new deal with a sponsor like Provident. That would be a huge benefit moving forward for the club.
