As I said earlier, it is a great signing on paper, but we shall see how it all pans out first before eating any humble pie....
You make the mistake of thinking the world, or at least the board, revolves around you, and are paranoid that every comment is aimed at you. It doesn't, and they're not.
There are several detractors who have made several, quite different, claims against the Bulls and one of those claims was that we are a 'selling club' and not any longer 'in the market' for decent players. Another is that we would not and could not make any 'marquee' signings and indeed that the club and/or the coach had lied about the possibility of doing so. Another is that we have little or no cover in the halves and no ability or intention of getting any. Another is that no 'decent' players would come anyway to play under a 'crap coach'. Another is that we have a 'weak squad' which is no better than mid-to-worse-table.
These represent a considerable humble pie requirement, indeed easily sufficient to qualify for a substantial bulk discount.
We don't have to see "how it pans out first" at all. Whether Bird does the business on the field if and when he gets here is a completely different issue. All the above have been comprehensively demolished by the Bulls' signings so far.
I should TBF add, though, that in your case you did consume your portion of pie very daintily and without prompting. But there's plenty left. Wonder if rhinoms is feeling hungry . . .
