I think they do now dont they?? Their fans that i know up there seem to think so anyway.

Mad. Scramble. For. Tickets.

I think it's fair to say the number of articles and things that have come out the last few days prove i was right, dont they Jamie. Adkins had little input into transfers and didn't get his targets (i;ll admit if he didn't want a top keeper and was refering the "one or two" as Gazza anad a kid, then that was a fatal error) Despite saying he had a good relationship with the chairman it wasn't the case, certainly from after the Reading game last season Adkins position was constantly under threat To be honest i didn't want to be right, even though i knew i was but given the flack i've got on here in the last year or so for telling it how it was then forgive me for feeling a little bit vindicated.

to be fair he didn't seem to know a lot about Ramirez when he was asked about it did he. In fact i think he said "he sounds like a good player" Or similar. He also said we wont be signing Yoshida and then a week later we did. We also bid for Butland so we were chasing a "top" keeper, if you consider him to be one. It's fair to say this artcile seems to be pretty accurate and Adkins didn't have much input into the transfers it seems, as you were told at the time Jamie. I also seem to remember you giving me a hard time because after the West Ham game Adkins said he had a great relationship with the chairman, i said it wasn't the case and what else did you expect him to say. Care to comment on that given what's been said recently?

Shameless attack? Bloody hell, i was just giving him a bit of ribbing over a rant he had at me a few months back when he'd been drinking some wine. It's not my fault some of you are such delicate little flowers you cant cope with that. So do you admit you were wrong then?

What else is he going to say?

Prehaps he was or prehaps he was refering to Gazza as the Bart replacement and the "maybe two" was a top class keeper, maybe he wasn't. EIther way if he didn't want to bring another first choice keeper in then it was a mistake. I'll agree with that. Regardless of all that the direct quote that was demanded has been provided. And the article still provides the demanded evidence that Adkins had little impact into transfers in the summer and didn't get the targets he wanted, something I and a few other said was the case and something many people told me i was wrong about. Still waiting for an apology. It does make me laugh that now the "evidence" is in the public domain i'm being slated for being right!!

Do you honestly believe when he said "one if not two" he was refering to bring in an 18 year old for the development team?

Thanks Krackers. It really is proving to be a horrible few days for the CoC. Everything just seems to be going wrong for them. I await but dont expect an apology.

I think there is some considerable truth to it and confirms what I said in August. Anyway, I'm off to bed, got a run tomorrow morning i need to be up for, can't stay up drinking all night unlike some people.

The keeper thing doesn't tie in with Akdins comments that he wanted 'one maybe two keepers' l

Not at all. Just commenting on your emotional state, you seeem a litttle angry and i remember the last time you were like this you'd downed a bottle of wine. Apologies if im mistaken and youre not drunk tonight. You said earlier that you only want to beleive positive rumours not me. You've now got plenty of the evidence you demanded that a lot of the stuff I was talking about was in fact true. I'd like to hear your take on these stories, I mean, they do seem to confirm that what some of us said was right doesn't it.

Hadn't he agreed terms with us and it was now down to the clubs to agree a fee?

You seem a little irritated Frank. Have you been drinking again?

Yep, all for a committee. The manager has to work with the players day to day though and lives or dies by thier ability and performance so should have a big say in who comes through the door.

It does actually because it's a FACT that he did say that.

I think you'll find some people can simply handle the truth FC. Some people are able to speak as they find and praise and crirticse when is appropriate. Some people dont keep thier heads in the sand and are only want to believe happy clappy stuff like you admitted yourself today that that is all you do.

Ahh cheers.

I've not seen anything in this for a while, where was this?

Yep, spot on. Pretty clear from that that Nigel's input into the committee was minimal. It's seems although on it, Cortese did pretty much what he wanted. Not that the CoC will have that though. It's been black Saturday for the CoC today hasn't it.

I hope it gets it. Massive club and in March I'm moving that way so be good to see him when I go to see Leeds.
