No he didn't. George Griffin played for Salford.

Darrell is at Fev, Josh at Hull.

Ah yes haha! My bad! Look very much alike Darrell and George! Can't see Darrell wanting to leave Fev. They have a better chance than us at doing something this season and at 35 (36 in June) I can't see him wanting to come back into a full time environment when he's likely to retire soon.

Might even be Peter Griffin.

The ball looks a bit like Stewie.

Stewie would at least have some diabolical invention to use to transmogrify the team into world beaters.

Interesting Rohan commented on a post of mine in the supporters group on fb last night saying no offer was made to him and it never got that far. Think this shows the owners already had Toovey lined up really hope he gets a visa and its not a smoke screen to get people to buy season tickets. Not that I think that is happening but there is always that niggling doubt

But Toovey has flown here and is doing most things but not officially.
I bet your favourite TV program is Conspiracy theories.
I don'y blame you for being suspicious after the last 5 or so years we supporters have had dumped on us.
I am staying open minded and give the new owners BoD until I see evidence against them.
There probably are genuine reasons for Visa not through yet or bank account still waiting to be set up.
The problem they had with this admin is they didn't take over a set up that was in place but they have actually had to set up a completely new club - albeit same name and logo - but everything else has been done from scratch. We supporters probably have no idea of what it takes to do this and goes against our ideas of "I want it done now" so why isn't it in the paper today.
This week has seen two new faces.
Next week hopefully another couple.

Not the case at all like I said I dont think that is happening more that I hope it isnt. I'm in the camp of wait and see. If we are in this position halfway through the season it may be questioned, but while things are still very early I think they have more than earned a bit of breathing space. I think some fans cant handle that Green was constantly in the public eye and constantly spouting and now we have the complete opposite. I'm more than happy for them to keep quiet the less they promise the expectation level can be more controlled

TBH, Toovey's WP should have come through by now, it's been 20 working days or 28 days in total since his appointment was announced.

The only thing I can think of that's holding it up is that the club, as a new entity, does not hold the required sponsorship licence to get Toovey his visa.
