Manager willing to wait until August 31 to sign targets

That's how I interpreted it too.

Staggers me the lack of patience in football. And the huge over reactions to speculation and rumour with no real foundation.

 

Questioned by who?

Folk like thee.

 

^^^^With bells on.

 

Is the title of this thread lifted from today's Chronicle?

 

I'm not making it up at all I'm reading the back page of the chronicle and quoting from it they might be making it up but not me
The exact title of this thread is a headline on the back page of our local newspaper

 

No, the headline then is misleading. If I was Danny, I wouldn't let the Chronicle near from now on. But you've made your own comments in this thread that I've argued against. And why are you relying (or taking as gospel) what the Chron say anyway? You were posting in the thread yesterday where I was dictating Danny's every words so tha knows what he said.

Any excuse to bairn.

 

I wouldn't say it's misleading, the Chronicle aren't doing anything wrong, they're reporting word for word what he said in his interview on Player aren't they?

There's a lot of animosity towards the Chron that I don't get, it's like people want a paper to write what they want.

 

He's not waiting til the end of August, or even the start of it for that matter. He's trying to sort player NOW, but we've got to accept that players have the right to have a look round and it might take a bit of time to get the right ones in.

 

Haha. I'm usually accused of being up their arse. The only one defending em.

'Manager willing to wait until August 31st to sign targets' is a bit misleading when in reality he said he'd 'take it' if his FIRST target landed at the end of the window. I took that to mean the one player he most covets, his number one target. I may be wrong, like. But given that a few seconds later he said there could be signings next week, or even that day, I think that's what he meant.

My comment about not letting the Chron near from now on was sarcasm, in response to the many Chron critics on here who I regularly argue with. It's summat they'd say. But if you haven't seen/read the threads I'm referring to you wouldn't obviously get the sarcasm.


I'm guessing you saw the Danny interview though. So, did you interpret it how I'm assuming (I don't read it) the Chron did? That he'd be happy to wait until the end of the window for his first signing? Of any kind. That'd be ludicrous. Of Danny.

 

Bearing in mind the size of the overhaul required I'm not really expecting too much next season. It'll take Danny more than a summer and probably more than a season to get the team and the players he wants. So long as we aren't at risk of dropping down another league next season then I think we'll just need to be patient and let Danny gradually get the players he wants rather than make hurried choices. It's not as though we are 2 or 3 players away from a promotion push is it? Seems like we are a whole squad away.
