Gordon Shepherds like us, he sounds pissed off, he keeps offering Andy players but hes not bothered one phone call and we could have had Kazim Richards for 125-150k (lightning quick striker, scored in the premiership on Saturday) One phone call and we could have had Matthew Bates (highly rated young defender, now at Ipswich) he told Ritchie to make the call and bring them in, but he didnt he has to look, and offer Ritchie players because it isnt happening the other way Basically get off Shepherds back, and dont read any of Dragon Tykes posts
Also, when asked by Paul Walker "Why are you offering players, shouldn't the manager be identifying them?", Mr Shepherd said "I have to, because it isn't happening the other way!"
Dont know if anyone else feels the same but I dont like the 'don't blame me, blame him' things that I'm hearing. It doesn't paint a good picture. I'd expect, or should I say hope, that the chairman and manager would be supporting each other not pointing the blame
plus we could have got Ritchie Jones but AR said he wasnt going to play every week. So he went to Colchester and there manager isnt playing him every week. Shepherd sounded amused.
