Quote: WirralViking "Just going to ask something similar and how people feel about the whole roller coaster ride that has ended (for the moment) in disappointment.
A different scenario but last year we were linked to the great Mr Lockyer and did make him an offer, that he admitted he gave consideration to, before deciding he would stick to his plan to retire. Whilst that got us all excited and we were disappointed he chose not to come, most fans accepted it was no great surprise. However what it did do was to create a level of expectation for somebody of that level, which of course then didn't materialise.
So the hype around Lockyer (and Tim Sheens who we had also made an offer to to be our coach!!!) actually backfired on the Club as fans were massively disappointed that no star name appeared and we confirmed Denis Bets as Coach. Very unfortunate for Denis, who has had to battle through some pretty awful results, until finally getting a fit squad together with a few decent additions and now getting reasonable performances.
So I hope for your sakes that you do get a few high profile signings and avoid the level of disappointment we had. A really bad outcome for Chase for the rest of the season. Can Cas play him? I just hope the visa glitch isn't a permanent one.'"
Why cant Cas play him? He is in the squad for Sundays game against Wire.
