Why am I shameless when what I said days ago is now coming out just cause my info given at the beginning has turned out wrong does not mean they were not in talks etc.

On the basis that Favre has been available since December, and with the advance notice that Roy was leaving, I’m surprised that this move for Favre wasn’t put in a place shortly after the end of the season if there was definite interest.
Our trawl of available managers would surely have thrown up his name along with the likes of Lampard, Howe and Nuno.
An early appointment would certainly have benefited planning for the new season.
With regard to Favre it does seem a gamble, but any appointment would carry a degree of risk with the current squad.
The success of recruitment over the next few weeks will be key to determining his chances of success.
The early fixtures are daunting and patience will be required.

My word why do most get so irritated with people’s posts at no point have I ever said I’m an ITK,

all I am doing is passing on what I get told.

No guarantee what I’m told is right or wrong.

If you really think I’m a fraud then just bypass my posts I really don’t get why some get so uptight.

Their are far more important things to get agitated about than someone posting info (right or wrong) on a fan’s forum.

At least we now have a Manager & can enjoy the summer.

Have a good day all.

From what I read already on users posts without even knowing who the guy is, I think a few people will be a bit disappointed in a few months time...

Honestly, Dazza, get a grip. "I've never said I'm in the know" followed by "I'm passing on what I get told". Well, either what you're told comes from someone connected with the club in which case you're implicitly saying you're in the know, or it comes from the local public toilet cleaner in which case you're not in the know but it begs the question why you're even posting a rumour sourced from a bog brusher in the first place. If you're going to play with your sword, at least have the dignity to fall on it.

As I've said repeatedly before, I don't think you're a fraud and I enjoy your posts but FFS, you really can't have it both ways. The real problem, though, isn't you; it's the people who read your posts. They want to believe what you're saying is nailed on true and they get upset when it isn't. A sensible forum member will read them, apply a measure of caution and common sense to interpreting them, and enjoy the information. This is all very post-structuralist (read Barthes on authorial intent). The contention is that the author doesn't exist; you cannot divine the exact meaning of a text by relying entirely on authorial intent. The reader is part of the text and how he reads it and the conclusions he draws are part of the text's meaning. Thus, there is no "correct interpretation" of any text; each reader brings his own, new dimension. Barthes, in fact, declines to even use the word author as it implies some sort of God-like status over what's written (only the author can know what he meant, which Barthes disagrees with). He chooses to use "scriptor" instead, the script being only one part of the final output. Anyway...
