Quote: Mild mannered Janitor "I am not here to disprove anything. Your comment on any earlier post said you didn't believe anything which came out of the club. Thats your stance, and fair enough. Don't read it then! There is not point if you not only do not believe its (without proof) but are actively getting uptight about it and feel the need to attack the club.

Could it possibly be the situation that Ellis's surgeon has told the club that he expects absolutely no further issues with his achiles and that he should be ready for action come the start of the season? Just perhaps, that to be on the safe side we safeguard players under contract in the same position in case the news was not quite as positive?

But of course, this would be a positive outlook. have no idea either way what the actual situation will be. I don't feel the need to doubt everything I read or believe everything I read unless it has a direct impact on me.'"

This is an open forum is it not, the purpose of which is to discuss things, voice opinions etc. (despite the bully tactics on here toward anyone with a differing viewpoint)

On this thread I haven't attacked anyone. If by me stating I don't beleive anything coming from the club is attacking then I'd disagree. I said I don't beleive anything on the back of lies, spin and deceit which is exactly what the club/AP have done.

That's not an attack that's a valid opinion based on what has actually happened. Going about things the way AP ha,s does him absolutely no favours whatsoever and he is very much disingenous to the fans, it alienates and angers many.
Of course certain things should be sorted behind closed doors but it's this constant rubbish, outright lies and bullcarp that come out of the club, instead of saying the actual truth, instead of sticking his hand up to say I was wrong, I made a massive mistake (without then blaming someone else with zero facts to back it up), to say sorry I'm going back on my word because...or whatever. But he doesn't, the club have to spin everything, he has to cover his tracks and the mistakes he's made with more lies and deceit.
As you said, I have no evidence on certain matters (the amount of fee, the actuality of why Westerman has left, Cap space etc), however the trail of how things have panned out, the things I mentioned didn't all happen by coincidence over one week.
I don't care that the club sold him, nor Lineham, I don't care that that goes against what AP said, the outcome of westerman going is the best for the club if that is to fit in JA and the other signings so that we have the best 17 on the park. What i do care about is the club/AP playing with a straight bat even when it comes down to very delicate matters or one that potentially leaves egg on the owners face as opposed to covering tracks with obvious untruths.
