Really pleased Ellis has signed up.
Also shows that Myler is listening and observing what’s been going on.
Baby steps forward but encouraging.
I know dobbins on here will scoff but I’m
confident we will have our day this season.
kr will implode like they always do

Must be a slow news day for us FC fans if we are making a big deal about this.

My read of it is that the story got out in the press, forcing the club's hand so they had to announce it earlier than they wanted to. Let's be honest, there was no benefit to the club in announcing it when they did. I'm sure there are other done deals which we haven't announced.

We should have spoken to leigh and the player before the official release but it's hardly a major issue.

As for his statement, probably between a rock and a hard place with derek, his fellow players and the fans. What else is the guy supposed to do?

Yeah, this all points to Beaumont kicking off. Absolutely nothing in it

nothing more about wether we ve got olly russell on loan,probably someone just making things up.

It was more about the fact that Asiata felt the need to absolve himself, highlight his loyalty to Leigh, his financial motives and apologise. Doesn't exactly instil confidence.

I completely agree that Beaumont shooting his mouth off created the issue. Hull's error in judgement created the opportunity though. You're right, it's not a big deal, it's just a talking point that shouldn't have gained any airtime or column inches. There'll be another story later in the week and this will all be forgotten... hopefully.
