It’s easily nipped in the bud, all he has to do is come out and say he’s going nowhere

Think it’s time this thread was fenced off. Read my earlier posts.

Adkins would be a decent straight swap. Hopefully a storm in a tea cup; someone somewhere might have stuck £500 on at 100/1 & brought the odds down.

Tim Ryan was 3rd favourite for a couple of days before Grant got the job. No real panic yet.

Mmmm.
We’ve got Adkins,
Super Mark Adkins.
Just don’t think you understand.
The board got their man,
Swapped him for McCann..............nah, that doesn’t fit right somehow.

Ha, so he is.
Glad you spotted that deliberate mistake.

Why any Manager would want to go to Hull City is beyond me. They’re a club on a downward spiral. Very questionable owners, best players leaving, a dwindling fan base. Can’t really see the attraction.

Can someone do a poll for people to vote and decide who is the biggest panic merchant on the VSC...... since-1969 and drfchound have got to be front runners surely...

Where have I panicked.

If you agreed that everything is hunky dory that fine , so seeing players leave particularly after supposedly turning good deals down is also fine , then it’s only natural to seek answers if I do not .Yes things get said out of frustration on here but as none of us have crystal ball but can only respond to what is happening currently. Players contracts were known about by everyone since last season , so the apparent fallout is remarkable as the club achieved its targets and went down fighting all the way . However that ugly word ‘ Budget’ rears it’s head annually and if it wasn’t debated then we would assume that possibly selling our best players was also natural and a good thing. Imo the board who do fantastic job and have taken DRFC into the 21st century are to be commended. Yet only if we don’t examine the whys and wherefores can we ever get closer to excepting that it’s going to be another season of unknowns and missed opportunities. Agree or disagree I don’t care I’m saying it’s my view of what i see and  that is the club will not push the boat out but pressure McCann to achieve what they won’t pay for .

But the word “Budget” only gets spoke about by fans like your self. If by the first game of the season our team is looking weaker than last season then I’ll be in total agreement, but to start panicking about the Budget before we’ve even started signing players is crazy

MM, why include me as one of those that are panicking?
If you got your head out of your jacksie for a minute and read my posts you would find that I am totally the opposite.
Of course I expect you to copy in the post where I said something about us not having a team for the first friendly but that was a tongue in cheek (where is that emoji by the way) comment aimed at those that are panicking.

To be fair, Hound isn’t one for complaining or panicking

We are selling because we’ve put a lid on the amount that against others that we will not go above. That’s fair but so is the fallout . A player leaves to a club tha has half the crowds we have , Why ? it can only be that they valued him more than we did .

Good job mate. 

[PDX_Rover]

Good job our manager is McCann then. Was worried there for a second...

Pedantic Kitson. Would you like me to edit it, just for you?

No but try harder. It’s not that difficult to master is it? You’re just embarrassing yourself.

How's that exactly?

By missing one letter from someone's name?

I thought you'd get involved in sticking up on behalf of the negative bell ends society. Like flies round a turd.

Here's the thing though... It's NEVER hunky dory for you. All you do is constantly, and I mean constantly, live in a state of panic and negativity. It matters not a jot what the club does. You're Private Fraser. It's tiresome.

And that's their perogative. I'm sure we  valued Halliday more than Cambridge and were prepared to pay him more to get him, it's what happens in football. Why so much drama!!!

[Bristol Red Rover]

McCann is wise to let this be till tomorrow. No comment by then and it risks throwing current player negotiations to the wall.

The bottom line will be how much money they'd be offering, it could be irrestistable. I wouldn't blame him if he left. I'd hope the club would get substantial compensation, and then we move on.

[dickos1]

He’s just been talking all over the media about how money shouldn’t be the first thing players think about.
Would make himself look a little silly if he left us because of the money on offer

[sedwardsdrfc]

He would go up a division though so is also a career move (albeit they are a mess). He would look a bit bad though.

[Dare to dream!]

McCanns odds have dropped from 1.73 to 1.53.

[Drover]

McCanns odds have dropped from 1.73 to 1.53.

And thats after radio Sheff claim Rovers say,there has been no contact and it will be unwelcome if there is and the free press say rumours are wide of the mark,yet odds shorten a little,bit strange.

Yep, not looking great at this point is it? As you say things arent stacking up.

That being said, even now i would still be suprised if he went to Hull.

[karldew]

I personally think Hull will end up with Gary Monk after his sacking yesterday.
