Exactly why I said next year. But what I meant to add was without compensation.

To be fair you don't read fully though. I haven't actually got anything wrong this year apart from saying the club reckon Burgess signing was a goer. Everything else actually correct, it is just a myth your point, as I simply don't care to say I told you so, just not me. Although if something was a rumour I always put it as that, rather than a statement.

And no I won't reveal sources, which I find such an annoying phrase anyway. They are not sources they are people just like us who I happen to be acquainted with through work or personal, just simply that, nothing special. I can say that there is absolute no way the information on McDermotts new contract is incorrect. He had a three year rolling contract, and it is now a two year contract ending at the end of 2018, and has that clause in it, but an increase to accomodate this.

McDermott is going. I actually think he is more relaxed because of it, and seems to have let the shackles go. He apparently asked to finish the season, and that is what they agreed.

I don't quite know why you and others feel the need to ridicule my job, granted it's not an amazing high paid job but it's a more than respectable one and trying to mock it says a lot more about you than me. At least I'm not one of those on here that exaggerate about their jobs to sound big time.

I do post on most threads on here because I'm passionate about the club and talking about it, I didn't realise that's a crime, you do also by the way but your passion seems to be to rip the club to shreds with your ridiculous theories.

At least I enjoy following the club, you spend your time on here even though you hate pretty much everything about the club, like a few others on here. I'd therefore say you're the one who needs a life if you spend so much time talking about a club you have nothing but negative thoughts towards.

The late great John Holmes was a press operator was he not?

A lot of the blame last season lay with Hetherington and his refusal to invest in the squad. Hes duplicating that with bells on this year an almost wilful plan to fail. You can bet of any sort of pressur begins to be exerted on hetherington Mcdermott will be the one to take the fall for him. For me both have had their time. Last year wasnt unforeseeable it was a direct consequence of a failure to recruit. This year will be worse.

Disagree entirely.

The squad was fine except for hooker.
The squad is fine now except for hooker.
If we get a decent hooker I reckon we'll be top 4.
