Oh, and quite why Morrison and the council need to be worried about the lack of signings baffles me (Radio Sport with telfer Monday).
Well, I gave my theory that it's because Morrison wants to keep the pressure up to try to push Terry out in favour of a less controversial Nix owner, but TX thought that was paranoid and suggested that Morrison just wants to hog the limelight as "saviour of the Nix". Both are good theories.
But my argument all along has been not that nothing is wrong with the Serepisos empire, but that "rumour of our death are being exaggerated". No-one would care about a short squad 3 months out from season beginning unless there was already a feeling of panic and crisis in the air. But certain journos want Terry to fail because it would provide the perfect end to the story they've started writing. Certain businessmen want him to fail because he's burned them in deals or not paid his bills on time. Certain local politicians would like to be "saviour of the Nix", and they can't do that unless there's a crisis of ownership. Add all of that up, and you've got an overwhelming media narrative that will spin any negative information or even lack of positive information about the Nix into DOOM.Doloras2011-07-14 14:40:17
