To be fair, the rumours were in the press, so it wasn't the usual forum nonsense, and they were in the press before it generated fifteen pages on here. People who post on here confirmed it to me privately, and they know people closer to the club than I did, and TRB made the enquiry of the directors before it went on here, and so posters shouldn't be blamed.

One way to unsettle a player is to put out a rumour that someone else wants him, and maybe the someone else ends up getting him, because the hat has been unofficially thrown into the ring. How did Solo end up going without an official approach before the end of the season?

The problem I had with it was the speed at which posters were ready to turn on the Club despite it being nothing more than a rumour and no confirmation from anyone official. Personally I think that given the huge strides we have made over the last few years and after such a good start to this season the Club and team deserve a bit better.

bearing in mind the comment made by Ted didn't dispel any rumours and the past history of the club it know wonder supporters vent their frustrations,
I do hope its true that we keep the players we have that are on contract, it will be a breath of fresh air to see us the envy of other clubs

Not being able to remember Ted's quote exactly didn't he deny the rumour but then basically said that all players have their price which is true. I can only imagine the uproar on here if Brough's form takes a turn for the worse and we then find out that Ted turned down a massive offer for him.

Checked out Ketty's IP address, seems he/she has not posted much since.


Recieved PM's from lots of posters "in the know" and quite a few of them thougth this would happen, just shows how easy it is to get it wrong at times.

Still you live and learn

Bit it has to said its all happened before at Wakey and probably will again.

What's happened before??? Is it,
1)Posters jumping the gun!!
2)The club saying a players not going........and then they do!!
3)BOD apologists defend them with all good intentions and end up with egg on there faces!!!
Or is it all 3?

that's the gamble you take,
like with peterson who would of known that we was going to end up will little game time with him, what could of been is always an after thought after the horse had bolted
a play place is on the cards all we have to do is win at least half of the remaining games to be in there with a chance
