A load of sensible stuff....... For me it is time for a change of attitude at cas.

In my work I manage people and I also see a lot of people languishing around getting by and you are right mate...... When you do something, it is a lot easier to commit a bit, try hard and that make all the right noises but not go all in heart, mind body and soul.... because if you hold a bit back consciously or sub-consciously, then it hurts less when you fail - because you usually will in those circumstances.

The greats, as men, managers, coaches, players can trust and put it all out there, everything every sinew and the prospect of second, or the thought of not achieving their goal - they don't entertain it, they would look at you blankly if you even asked them about it.

I give you Jose Mourinho, has Sam Eto'o playing left mid getting his foot in.... JM has managed to take one of the most talented strikers in the game and give him the drive, passion and belief to sacrifice his game for the good of the group and for the goal...... good on JM for making it happen and good on SE for being clever enough to trust and commit and believe..... worked didn't it?

Don't get me wrong, I am not the oracle on management and motivation, but I do know management and I can see our problem - We think we're mediocre and we DONT believe we should be at the top table and as a result we're not and nobody else does either. Not a surprise.

So, who can succeed - the person who can make us believe..... That person needs to be on the field, like Johns did for Wolves a couple of years ago, the coach, like TM when he first came or like Stuart Raper did, or in the board room.... The catalyst can come from anywhere, but a catalyst is what we need.

Boring lecture over, lets get back to calling Wakey names! Soz all!

If we signed Hornby and Orr we would finally have some depth at halfback,and if Brierly can continue his development too that will be an added bonus.

I dont think age in the new signings are a big factor,its as much as how you look after themselves plus the experience they bring to the side.

Re: New Signing : Sat May 29, 2010 7:55 am  

i would sign hornby because they is no idea if he would like england and he will be like sherwin and old australia look for the money and he is 30yr now.

Daniel Holdsworth is young and i think he would go good with chase. he is a goalkicker and as i top goal kicking game.

I dont think Hornby will be on the same money as Sherwin was, the club was desperate for a scrum half after promotion from N.L 1, and Brough had left for Wakey and Sherwin's agent took full advantage of this.

I have seen Hornby play a few times for St George and is a useful player,he can play at half back and full back, so there are options there too. Im not sure if he played Origin or not....not that means owt at Cas look at Craig Greenhill

Re: New Signing : Sat May 29, 2010 11:50 am  

Last I read, Hornby was close to signing a new deal at St George.

Re: New Signing : Mon May 31, 2010 11:53 am  

I hope he isngt going to sign for them, he would definatly be a welcome addition in my book

Re: New Signing : Tue Jun 01, 2010 12:31 pm  

You'll need a new centre aswell.

Ian Millwards confirmed that Shenton will be at Saints next season. His been told by a few of the Saints lads.

Re: New Signing : Tue Jun 01, 2010 1:08 pm  

From what I hear, the money Shenton is asking from Cas to stay is astronomical, as much as we'd love to keep him one player is not bigger than the club and for the wages he is apparently asking we could sign practically anyone.

Re: New Signing : Tue Jun 01, 2010 3:11 pm  

If that's right NT then he can go. Shouldn't be holding the club to ransom. 1 player aint bigger then the club.
