Quote: easthull4 "I have no objection to Bailey being slagged if it turns out he has done the dirty on the club what I am saying is that he is being slagged off before the truth whatever it might be comes out. Apart from that I am not slagging all supporters of Rovers and yes everyone is entitled to there opinion without doubt. He is part of our club no matter what his input has been. If Mike Smith and Chris Chester thought he would be an asset to the club and signed him then we should stand bye him until we know any different. It is the club that are disrespecting the supporters. Having said that it may be best it left private and the question should be asked should Baily's agent or manager come out with a statement they do enough work trying to shop players around maybe this situation should also be part of there remit . Often when they are seriously ill prefer it to be kept in house, who knows I just don't like anyone being slagged off when it may not be there fault at all that is also respect'"
I agree with a lot of the points you make - but the club also has an obligation to stop this from being a distraction, if they are not tell the fans everything that is one thing, but I hope they are being open and honest with the players!
If Bailey isn't at fault - surely they could have come out with some sort of statement to partially vindicate the guy! it can be in no ones best interest for the rumour mill to go into meltdown unchecked!
