i used to live with this journo Jamie Jackson in London. He asked me for a saints line up to print for a forthcoming match and i gave him one with an injured player (delay i think). He printed it without checking the facts.
And he's an arrogant knob
I'm not the sort of fan that wants the club to issue news on everything, and I recall the propaganda of the last days of Lowe. However the captain being out for potentially months is something that the faithful deserve to be told about.
The communication of the club is so contrived. Our captain is out apparently for months, but actually we don't know because of the club has not made one single comment. It's insulting frankly.
Benitez would make more of the strange decisions that Adkins gets destroyed for- never keeps the same team. He'd keep making adjustments to a fundementally unbalanced team and will keep losing.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Les Reed given it as he seems to be the only person Cortese really listens to. It would be a disaster but then maybe Cortese will wake up.
Keep Adkins and sign the right players in Jan.
New manager won't make any difference with these players. Adkins Is making decisions to try and affect change. Not working cos half the team isn't good enough despite summer outlay. I expect to see 3 or 4 defenders walk through the door on early Jan. They should be done deals if wrong have a chance at all
Back in WGS day I used to live with an Observer sports journo and he asked me for a predicted team line up. It was published despite all the deliberate mistakes. No real research done.
