If that's true, its clearly unacceptable.
Would confirm the 'Barry is an investor' rumour though.

I'm really only on about one specific incident relating prior to the Wembley debacle

Well, you may as well spill it now, assuming it doesn't betray anyone's confidence. We'll take it as a rumour rather than fact, honest. |

Read between the lines, it seems to me it was financial as his contract specified a certain number of games - he stopped at 79!
Anyone who saw Ward's last few games for us would find it hard to believe the reason wasn't due to the fact that he was playing like an OAP. His legs had gone and he was obviously uncomfortable with the system. |

Why? It seems to be working just fine, albeit with a dodgy defence. |

I find it hard to believe you need it spelt out as to why it would be unacceptable for a football agent that isn't employed by the club would have influence over and above the manager. You contrary sod you  |

Agree with that to a large extent. But to be totally frozen out in the way he was seemed bizarre and to be honest a bit shoddy to me. |

You contrary sod you I'm not being a contrary sod at all. If it works, it works. Why do people always have a tendency to jump to the negative rather than the positive or even neutral? |

why do people always jump into 'everything is awesome' whenever there is anything remotely worrying.
if the effects of years undue influence from advisors and a complete lack of transparency from the club haven't taught you anything about why I think this may again be a bad thing this time around there isn't much I can do to make you change your mind.
though given its only an unspecified rumour I'm not going to lose sleep over this one just yet.

Didn't we have similar rumours about influence with Di Canio and Phil Spencer and Colin Todd and his agent?

Yes, as all the evidence pointed in that direction.....the signing of players like Heiselberg, Cobian etc under T*dd and Atiku, Lanzano, Comazzi etc under PdC couldn't really be explained in any other way. The current regime's signings have been a lot more focused, I'm giving Agombar to McCrory.....Tijane Reis  |

To me Tijane was a simply a gamble that didn't pay off. He'd been highly rated in the past, hadn't lived up to the hype for whatever reason, so we took a chance on him. Can't imagine he was on a lot and when it became clear we weren't the ones to finally unlock his potential we got rid.
Don't see it as a suspicious signing at all

Why on earth is there outcry that our defacto director of football is having an influence on..... Football? It's a management team of four. Standing, Power, Cooper, Williams. All bringing their own skills to the table. Why is that worrying, or a problem.....

There's no actual football atm, and as most players are on holiday, it quite rightly goes quiet, that's what a close season is for. This means that folk have to make up bollocks to fill the vacuum...it's what the TEF is good at. |
