Amor was a deal for the season after next originally.

If so I was a good move from the club to stump up the cash. Gets us a player in a position we needed for 2014 and gives Wakey some cash they really need.

I doubt they pick up players as targets from here. But there is absolutely no doubt that the club reads and responds to what is posted on here. There is little doubt that my name has come up in several board meetings over at HQ.

What context? With you as a target signing as a motivational coach?

The Wakefield situation did speed things up.

People at the club get in touch regularly, so yes they must read it.

I just get my big fish tail out and bat them away

They are the only club who do.

When we started mentioning Kyle Amor on this board, I'm sure there was no basis to the rumour, other than he was a player some of us fancied.
A poster incorrectly stated he was OOC and from that some rumours started to gather momentum - months before Wakey started clearing the boards.

Did a rumour started on this site with no real foundations start a string of events that led to us actually signing him, or is it a mere coincidence? Does Mike Rush and Nathan Brown trawl the message boards looking for ideas from SaintsFan and Bewareshadows, or is Saddened actually Eammon in disguise?

To be fair for half the season he picked his teams using using a top hat filled with names so why not use an internet forum for picking his signings .

P.S I do suspect though that he wasnt listening to Saintsfan or he'd have had Royce back as his assistant and we'd now be looking forward to the return of Foster and Gaskell ...

I was once lucky enough to get a prediction on here right (or was it redvee not sure now) and the thread got taken down within a couple of hours for that very reason.

Bottom line is if the thread stays open then you have not hit a nerve and you are wrong.

Amor was just a lucky guess before the club had probably showed any interest or after is was signed and sealed. If you buy enough lottery tickets you will eventually win the jackpot.

I can't imagine a player prediction would get taken down, unless it was that said player was going to lay a few grand down against the team to win.

The club 100% reads this message board, I know this for a fact

Re: Message Board Power? : Wed Sep 11, 2013 8:43 pm  

I've no doubt they read them, it's a very easy way to gauge how their customers feel. If the actually take transfer targets from it? Very very doubtful

Don't forget I've had them contact me via pm on here asking me to stop letting the team selection, injuries etc out.
