The Board Wouldn't Back JC's Move To Bring In Steven Hammell To Replace Murphy

[Smurf]

That's the final straw apparently...

Petrie quotes here:

[Only Registered Users Can See Links. Click Here To Register]

John never quantified what he was looking for. He was invited to sit down with us after we'd adjourned the meeting and have a chat in a smaller group. We asked him to go through precisely what it was he wanted.

"Then we could say whether it was affordable or within the resources available to us. Should we be working to change the approach we had? But he didn't take that opportunity."

Is it weird that I actually believe Petrie?

He looked properly bemused on the video interview I watched. If he was faking then he's a great actor!

He says that he'd have backed Collins financially.

Wow! talk aboot a Road-tae-Damuscus conversion !

A bit late in the day for that.

Look at the record - players sold = £8.8 million.
players bought = £360,000

Nuff said.

[Hibernia]

Have to say Hammell is a good player but what about Collins other targets?

The Sun claims Collins was a success in the transfer market by selling so many players for a good return, just a shame that the majority of his signings that came to ER in his time were rotten.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

There would seem to be a bit more mileage in this, but Collins is due Petrie respect after he stood squarely behind him after the big fall out last season and should not start muck raking. Having said that, the players he has brought in are less than average and a waste of precious funds so RP may have a point if he has questioned his judgement. Only Donaldson has shown, in glimpses right enough, that he could do a job long term. The rest can be hooked or paid off in January.

It certainly confirms my belief that JC walked because once again he was not given sufficient funds to replace a departing player (not fill a gap made by selling our family silver as he has had to do so far).

I actually don't think Petrie is lying, he is simply using the bland, say nothing speech of an Accountant.

What would make me believe Petrie, was a statement confirming that David Murphy will not be leaving at Christmas, or that funds will be made available to sign Steven Hammill to replace him. Neither will happen.

Can it be that the breakdown the Chairman/ Manager relationships is always down to the Managers at Easter Road? That is Wiiliamson, Mowbray and Collins all left under some cloud or other.

Ok Stew.

Just wondered if you can give me examples of games or certain things hes done in games that has impressed you.

Always seems to me to just run head down and do a Ronaldo-esque back flick before giving someone a 5 yard pass.

Im not saying hes garbage or anything, Just think that whatever he promises at the moment is not being delivered aswell as it could be. Mind you hes not alone in that i suppose

Over all, if we remove the green tinted specs and lay the loyalty to one side for the moment, the club, in that I mean the team has dropped in standard and ability since even this time last year, we have a lot of players who should not be here and it will be some time before our new boss can off load them and improve the team, so hard days are ahead, it maybe a few seasons untill we see a decent standard once again, that is down to both JC and the board.

Better Footballing technique than Ivan granted. but in no way as exciting as Ivan.
As i said im not dismissing him yet. Just hope theres more to come.

[SlovSam]

What is very revealing is how all football clubs shadily operate in this grey underworld of 'players sales and tapping' and treat the paying supporters a silly bunch of dopey halfwits which undoubtedly a lot of them are if truth be told.

Hibs are obviously selling Murphy in January and were lining up Hammell as a replacement yet ask 'Saint' Rodney,Murphy, Hammell or JC anything whatsoever about this and they would have glibly lied through their teeth and come out with the usual 'no player is going anywhere routine' or 'that I'm very happy playing for Hibs/Southend and plan to see out my contract'.
