Last night was poor. However for reasons previously stated I remain confident of top 8 as a genuine target with the quality we have and top line coach.
What was more concerning was our chairman’s comments in the HDM this week. Big pre-season special and we get comments like
“Enjoyment went out of it for me a lot of years ago, there is no real enjoyment in it.
There is no queue of people waiting outside the door to come and talk to me and Rob Crossland about taking over the club.
I’ve said many times, it is very easy to get into and very difficult to get out of. When we got relegated there was a real strong support about whether we carried on or not, but the way the supporters and sponsors reacted we felt it was our obligation to do.
I think we have to take it year by year. If someone is in a better position to take the club on then great, it is not our club.
Tim’s stock is high at the moment and he knows that, so maybe we’ll wait until a tough spell comes around and knock a few thousand off the deal.”
We had this a few years ago when we were trying to get players in and NH announced he didn’t know if him and Rob were carrying on. Why come out with negative PR three days before we kick off and while we are in the recruitment market? Add insult to injury signing Tickle and VaiVai - both injury prone and character question marks.
I don’t blame NH for having had enough of it but yet again he comes out with negative comments on the eve of a big year so we doubt the club’s plans.
Where and how you see us in the top 8 I do not know, complete lack of size and shortage of players through out, business should of been done early and picked up the players that where on the move, now we've just signed 34 year old mummified tickle and have been waxed by wakey, I like Sheens but can't figure out what the plan is. I admire your positivity though. RRTR
