I've had this conversation with you before! I don't get the point of having fast wingers the way we play? We create virtually no overlaps in most games, because the speed we need is from dummy half, and at half back. The players in those positions are too slow, that's a big reason why we are struggling to create anything other than Ashurst crashing over now and again. TJ was a different animal to Murphy say, he could break the line from his own half, then his pace and agility would take over, he didn't really need space to be created for him because he is a freak. Murphy showed he could finish acrobatically last year given the chances, this year if he had played every game so far, I doubt he would have more than 2 or 3 tries to his name. We have no threequarters who can create something out of nothing, and the players inside aren't creating any half-chances hardly either, so it's no surprise we can't score!

The only longshot we have is if Gale and then Jowitt can create overlaps, and then if the wingers can take those chances, if they can't, but if we are creating, then I would agree with you that we need faster wingers!! icon_biggrin.gif

I don't believe a word Carter says and I never have. He's very good at spin, very good at playing the victim, playing the sympathy card and splitting the fan base . Hopefully not too much longer till he walks out of the door cause I dread to think the state were going to be in if this deal collapses.

Quote: Scarlet Pimpernell "Why should the financial hole be enormous unless he plans to take his investment back whatever that actually is. I wonder how do you know he pumps large sums of money because he stated from the outset and even prior to the Hull game that he could not do this and that any expenditure came from what the club generated.
The reason we have been flirting with relegation is down entirely to the club’s lack of investment in the playing squad culminating in the debacle that is this season. He had a chance to build a legacy just a few seasons ago but opted to let the balance sheet rule hence we were at that time the only club to run with a profit.'"


Because that’s money no longer available, unless someone else fills it, pretty obvious really. In SL maybe not so bad but in the Championship!

Also he’s an unpaid CEO, what makes you think we can get another one of those? JM can’t do it he has other commitments as far as I’m aware.

For a decent CEO what would that cost?

If there is a deal at all?

You can blame age for two of those, chance of silverware for one, and the previous coach for one.

I agree though as regards Miller and Aydin from what I hear.

Doesn’t change the point, everyone hated Ted at the end but look what replaced him, actually forgotten his name.

relax mate I'm absolutely peeing myself at vastys guessing games, as the seeker of truth and justice for many years and at times fighting a lone battle against the powers that be and his grovelling desiples. Mopsey knows.

Yes I remember when Steve Parkin pulled out at the 11th hour ,it would have been a different story if he'd have taken over.

Yep that deal was so close to happening, who knows how it would have ended up. It was pretty much signed sealed and delivered, he just wanted a guarantee from the RFL that we would receive a franchise and TBH the rightly at the time would not do that.

After Ted before Glover took over at the beginning of 2011.

So I was living overseas when Glover was running the joint - I mean, did it all start well with him and he just got out of control with being the big man about town or was it always doomed from the start?

He can clearly make, sell and maintain windows and conservatories, so business doesn’t seem alien to him, or is it businesses that don’t make profit where he came unstuck?
