I just picked up on a few of your earlier posts from today when I've sat down with my tea and read through a few threads with specific reference to the online activity of present and past Directors/ BOM members. As I've been a regular contributer to this board and with you then refering to RR as Mr M you will have to forgive me for putting two and two together.

Looks like we've clarified that it wasn't/ isn't aimed at me then have we? That's good as accusations like that could be detrimental to mine and other past and present board members character and at the end of the day everyone who's ever stepped up to the plate for the club has done so for the love of the club and to try and make a difference for the good.

Nowt against you Ste don't even know you pal other than crossing paths on social media but some of your recent posts have come across as very cock sure of yourself so you either have a direct line to the Chairman and/ or the board/ senior management or your just taking a punt things and trying to come across as your someone in the know.

Not sure which it is

Andy as I say there is moore than one Mr M.

Again you constantly have to have digs and I've no idea why.

Earlier you say I'm usually wide of the mark, now I have a direct line to Michael Norris. For the record apart from here and social media I've never spoken to any of the present board.

I'll defend Leigh rugby to the hilt and when people come on here bagging Sam and Ryan ill defend them to the max.

Only time I've been cock sure is when I'm confident the likes of Sam and Ryan believe in what is being delivered at Leigh and why would they leave at present. If we dont make it to SL in a years time I'd be confident on both possibly leaving and I don't think we would hold anyone back.

As I say since the banter page debacle it appears you have me in your little black book, when in fact I had huge respect for you for any income you may have put in to the club. The only time I dislike you is the 90 minutes Man Utd play... That's of course unless you keep hounding me on here!!

I didn't for one second believe you had a direct line to Mr Norris knowing full well how professional and confidential our Chairman is mate.

I don't also have any issue with you or a little black book.

Let's not turn this into something it's not, I've merely clarified a few things that could have been misconstrued based on some of your comments.

No drama at my end pal.

Andy

Crikey....At least Andy isn't an Oilchester City fan, who are annual Champions League flops (well, for 4 years anyway) Money doesn't buy everything I guess.....

Ha ha, your right Man U have found out money doesn't buy everything with the current squad costing the highest amount of cash ever in British football

No problems with seeking clarification it's the little snipes that have appeared in the last 2 weeks.

Ill draw a line, no issue my end!!

I think Derek s doing a great job in the handling of this .
Well done to all concerned

Couldn't agree more DJ, Ryan's here to stay and as I've said before 100% b0llocks that Ryan has asked for any transfer

Agreed 100%

ha ha, ever heard of the class of '92 mate ? How is Oilclhester's youth team doing. Homegrown 'premiership' players Oil have produced in last 15 years, Micah Richards, Stephen Ireland, and ....er ?
United's list is endless pal. And but for Sheik Mansoor you'd still be in League One. City still hold the record for money spent in a 'transfer window' asides from anything else.


# Net Spend last 5 Years for Premiership Clubs:

1 Chelsea £471,609,000
2 Manchester City £439,450,000
3 Manchester United £356,300,000
4 Liverpool £351,950,000
5 Arsenal £244,525,000
6 Tottenham £223,650,000

Over to you, Stephen !

Budgie, as for Man City's players produced, you forgot Richard Dunne.

You do realise that 1992 is now 20 odd years ago!! Ancient history!

Once out of 27 years did Utd produce 4/5 top quality youth team players. So when you add in Falcao at £50m your 30m short of Man City but you don't buy the title. Your a good RL MAN budge but sound like a typical Utd fan.

For the record my clubs my local team BWFC, just like in RL I chose my local footy team!

What an odd article, no contradictions in that piece

My thoughts exactly. It's just ......strange. I suppose these reporters have to justify their existence somehow, even if they do end up writing articles that make no sense at all.



Whilst I admire the stance that 'we are not a selling club', and would be gutted if Ryan left, I would hope that if any player does want to leave and another club would be willing to pay a fee for them that we wouldn't hold them back. In Ryan's case, although we all know that he's not quite ready for SL, if he wants to go then we should let him go with our blessing and best wishes.

I think it's about time Leeds were pulled up - they've made two illegal approaches to our players this season and it's unacceptable.

I'm only an armchair Red Ste....but i am so glad you're not a City fan


I actually support Hartlepool United, and watch Hamilton Accies whenever I am up in Glasgow. Not watched United since 1984.
I agree though, the premier league is ALL about money though, nice to see Southampton doing well, who have sold most of their best players.
Let's hope Bolton & Hartlepool don't get relegated....

Leeds come across like they are unwilling to pay for Brierley (when he still has two years left of his contract) so they are trying their best to unsettle him and turn US into the bad guys for 'holding him back' etc etc. If they are that interested they will make a bid and try to buy him, if all they are willing to do is try and force us into letting him go for free then they obviously aren't as interested as they claim.

Totally unprofessional from Leeds.

The YEP article is, at best, lazy journalism! Nowhere is the article does it suggest that Ryans 'wants away'. What it DOES say though is that Gary Hetherington says he has NO interest in signing him.

As it stands currently we start Full Time Rugby training on Monday morning with the same bunch of lads who are currently sat in a meeting with the Board!
