I'm not suggesting he didn't, what I am saying is don't believe everything you read.

We’re you there?Is it not feasibly possible he could have said something more to Hoden that he didn’t say to Oxley?Until Hoden says he made a mistake, then one has to assume that what Hoden put in quotation marks, DM actually said. Who am I to question that?Whoever said what to who is less of a problem, by comparison, to the fact that we are 2 weeks away from not reinforcing the squad/team at all and it’s not sitting with me at all well. After all, like I’ve previously said, we’ve had since September to sort our strategy out and check out all possibilities.It also seems to me that certain people are (unfairly) pointing the finger at DM for our transfer failings, to date and, if that is the case, then that’s out of order. If my perception is wrong, then I apologise, but it does seem like it.Yes, perculiar isn't it. We have yet to hear it from DMs mouth. For your own benefit, listen to it. You may not change your view. That's up to you.

That's up to you.This is really bizarre. Are you and SM saying that no one should ever believe any printed quotes in the media, only recorded interviews? Or is that just specific to Darren Moore?I take what I read with a pinch of salt but when it’s directly quoted you have to take it at face value. Hoden himself has tweeted defending himself so unless he subsequently publishes an apology/retraction then I will believe that Moore has said that we have missed out on targets.
I have noticed quite often, particularly post match interviews, that what is written and quoted on the DFP site is identical to what was said on the RS interview.What I have no idea about is, are these interviews done separately or part of a press conference where the radio journalist asks the questions and everyone else reports on the answers? Or do they have separate interviews for each.?I like to trust what is written in the paper and in its website. Why wouldn’t I.? Same for the local radio interviews. This just illustrates to me the downside of the need for public information on what is going on behind the scenes at the football club.Anyone else remember the days you would go to Belle Vue and hear a player announced in the team and think “who.?”..?
Thanks for pointing me towards the audio. I'm bemused why DM has answered the same question differently probably within minutes of each other. That certainly doesn't help matters when people are anxious to hear positive news. Still nothing changes for me. Not the first time we've missed out on targets and won't be the last.
I would agree Dickos under most circumstances, but on this particular issue Liam’s audio has a different take on things to that of RS, so it does make sense to broadcast it.I tend to trust what’s in the DFP and also what’s on the local radio, there’s no problem asking for clarity when reports are different.?
He has explained himself quite clearly on twitter and why he felt the need to defend himself, and not for the first time, either, according to him.I find all this very sad indeed. Hoden shouldn’t have to be posting the audio at all, I agree. But the man has built up a level of trust between himself, the Club and the manager and he is going to protect that, of course he is.
We missed out on the guy from Norwich through no fault of our own.
DM has made it quite clear from the start that he’ll only bring in the ‘right’ players to the Rovers. He won’t go out to the market and just bring anyone in. It looks like we’ve made approaches of some sort to one or more of these targets, but for a variety of reasons (injuries, selling club changing their minds, other clubs interest etc...) none of them have come off yet. Consequently, the landscape is changing and theyre shifting their focus onto other players. And these things take time. We don’t have a bottomless pit of cash, so this needs to be done properly. I really, really don’t see how anyone can fault the club. Some people seem determined to find any reason to have a dig at the club, despite having very little fact to base this on!

I have no issues with what he writes but where another interview seems to contradict one of the issues, then it’s right that he should do that.. ideally he shouldn’t have to but in this case it makes sense..
