I'm not sure if I'd really be comfortable with anyone in my work place sniffing my neck you know. Just kinda inappropriate. Or was it a just a Warneism? Or was that why Didzy left?

Good point but the pressure clearly isn't working because its the third or fourth time this has happened. A lot of people have defended the recruitment team and Warne on this matter but with 10 days left, its time to put up or shut up. Plus surely a better way to put pressure on would be to say something like 'Yes we're closing in on a player, its with the recruitment team now to finalise the deal and work their magic. No timeframe of completion but i'd ideally want them in before saturday' therefore at least it distances himself from this mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's already outlined he ideally wants 23-28 year olds; with your rhetoric, you could argue even this brief is an affront to potential signings over the age of 30... When he's outlined this transfer policy, admitting that players outside this age bracket aren't ideal signings isn't the slander you're painting it out to be. He was explaining why a 30 year old may make more sense than a younger player, ironically saying the hypothetical 30 year old would be a better signing for the club than a younger one- which is a compliment...

That quote would be directly throwing them under the bus though, which would likely be classified as unprofessional. He's still technically being honourable by not assigning blame, but also highlighting a perceived inability of the club to close deals? The truth is we have zero idea how much Warne is involved, and what's going on behind the scenes. The more this drags on though, the more I'm tempted to believe Warne is as frustrated at the lack of progress as the rest of us- that's been my feeling and the post-match comments at the weekend supported this, in my opinion.

TheTinMan Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 Arguably been a worse transfer window than last summer when we had a few weeks to do business. Why are we waiting until deadliine day to make loan signings? Plenty of other sides in the league have secured premier league youngsters on loan already.

If your hypothesis were viable why couldn't Warne just aim his inability to keep quiet at the recruitment people rather than our current players?

Silly Brian. These players are no different to anyone else nowadays and will look at social media and other things about the club and support. They may well be impressed at the numbers we get, but not so happy to see the team getting booed after 2 or 3 games or the toxicity surrounding the club when things go wrong. We are not going to make the players we sign financially secure for life like your Man city's or Chelsea, so players at this level don't just look at the money and say stuff it.

''Inability to keep quiet'' implies this wasn't a deliberate statement, which i'm saying it might have been. A carefully-worded, targeted comment placed in the public domain to try and expedite the transfer process. He can't come out and say ''I'm really annoyed Mark Thomas/Stephen Pearce aren't getting deals across the line'', but if he were trying to convey that sentiment in a more tactful manner, I'd argue what he has said would fit that brief?
