Fenham Mag Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Time for everyone to move on, including the forum. it was nice to be linked with an exciting player, but we'll have to make do with Alan Smith and Kevin Nolan for next season! Does that mean you'll take your own advice and stop posting in this thread? Yes, i haven't actually posted in much since my rant yesterday! goodbye cruel world FYP Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Probably naive of me, but I'm gonna go with the view Hughton is doing this to keep things on the low. He's done it with every deal until they've been announced officially. Campbell - denied it until he turned up signed one morning. Gosling - linked to be joining for weeks yet nothing from Hughton at all until he signed. Perch - came out of the blue as signed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Neesy's only doing it so that if he doesn't sign and ends up going elsewhere, he can run into this thread and go "I TOLD YOU ALL SOO!!!!!11111 HAHA!

David Icke - Son of God Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Hughton has been told to deny all knowledge, that's pretty clear. If he has, it's a pretty stupid course of action to take. It makes him look really stupid and out of the loop, especially when EVERYONE else is talking about it being true. I agree, it makes him look a bit daft but in the statement the club were hammering the privacy line so it's not really that surprising. He's denied everything until it's rubber stamped.

Would make more sense just to say he can't comment in that case (rather than directly contradicting the overwhelming number of reports) but I guess he'd look a bit of a twat doing that every day.

Exactly. It would be much worse if he just didn't answer the question either way, he's definitely been instructed to deny everything imo. While tbh that's probably good for keeping things under wraps until they happen it makes this place go insane. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 ahhh man i panicked at the thread title. of course theres been contact, man. this would be the most elaborate hoax of all time if there actually hadn't. hughton's just playing his normal game.

Exiled in Texas Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Sounds perfectly realistic. I love how people say "the club should be run properly.....give him what he wants to get him signed" Mind boggling. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbo Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I don't like this talk of realism from Hughton, going into the season without improving the first team, realistically, is retarded. It's not the fans that need to get real at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
