I know for a fact that there was a statement prepared about six weeks ago.

I really don't know why it hasn't been released, but maybe the club just wanted to get the coaching position announcement sorted first.

Do you know what it said?

Not the exact wording but the gist of it. However I don't know if things have changed and if they have for whatever reason.


We'll just have t wait and see.

Think we've done enough of that now.

Not the most patient of people are you?

To be honest on this particular issue and given how long its been since the ban was confirmed, we've all had the patience of a Saint.

to be honest wla there has been more important things to sort out at the club than release a statement saying what future hock has at the club. maybe lenagan wanted get mcguire's opinion before deciding anything

Sorry don't buy that at all.

We've known for months he failed it and the B sample was going to come back positive as he sold his story to the Screws of the World before the results.

I mean, seriously how long does it take to have an offical stance on what they're going to do (not that they have much choice btw, he can't be involved with the club during his ban)and stick out a press release for what has been the biggest drug story in the game's, never mind the club's history?

as i said maybe he's leaving it up to the new coach to decide if he wants him back at the club in 2011!

The results and implications were all known well before Lenegan decided to go for another coach rather than Noble so that can't be a valid reason to have still said absolutely nothing.

Looks like it may well be 2011 before we know.

maybe thats a question someone need to ask at the next fans forum why the delay in not annoucning anything!

Surely there'll be more important questions that need answering, like how many Shredded Wheat Michael Maguire has for breakast?
