Elliot Ward - The Story!


Tac-tics

Recommended Posts

Nice quip on Radio 5live earlier, talking about the Forest/Brum game, the reporter said "It's hard to know which is the Premier League team here". Cut back to the Cov/Pimply game, they said "It's hard to know who's the Championship side here".

 

Made me chortle anyway.

 

Got overexcited about the Ward deal. Must never believe anything until it's be written in stone, and a chant has been made up about that players name.

Why is saints reportedly so anal about releasing any info first? I mean does it really matter? A decent signing is a decent signing.

 

It's a principle thing, if the deal falls through last minute say and it's been confirmed everywhere the club is seen in a bad light. In any event information leaks in any professional business are serious.

Did they say anything else? Like it looked like he would be signing?

 

No, they said he was out of the squad for tonight as he is in talks with us but no confirmation as yet. They seem to think he is going to sign though.

 

Just to make it even better, they keep going over and over that a former Saints man has scored against the Skates. P#mpey are playing sh#te!!!

Exactly.

If the guy hasn't signed what are they supposed to do, make it up ?

 

But if he does sign, it was a bit pointless to say that Sky got it VERY wrong. They just got the timing wrong. Very wrong suggests that we haven't been close to signing him at all. If we don't sign him then fair enough. It seems clear to me that he was the player that Pardew spoke about on the radio on Saturday.

People have moaned for years about the OS - "no real news" etc. Now that they are trying to break things first on there, people are still moaning!!:)

 

I'm not moaning, either.

 

I'm just fascinated to know who's doing the tweeting because they're quite outspoken and seem to be pretty sure of themselves.

 

Actually I think it's rather funny.

Quite. If we sign him tomorrow, then it would suggest Sky got hardly anything wrong.

 

I'm a teeny bit worried about how precious NC is coming across with this kind of thing, the barney with the Echo and so on. If he can't handle the "media spotlight" of the local paper and the rigours of signing a CCC reserve team player then gawd help him in the Premier League*.

I'm starting to agree (IF reports about him are true)

personally don't mind if he is a power crazed tyrant if

 

manager is supported and totally happy working for him

 

he doesn't p1ss fans off

 

builds successful side.

 

 

If he wants to control media and never lets echo within mile of stadium - so be it.

 

Would rather he got on with all, and had good relationship with echo (whose editor just said he misses Lowe) but not that important

From Tony, i mean rocketswanie-

 

Ward has held Talks, basically from what I can gather its a straight choice between him and Sebourne, but were awaiting on Exeter and him to show their hand, they dismissed it then we said ok we'll grab Ward but then they came back with what they wanted and would accept to which we said we'd have to consider things again. The thing now is that were trying to offload Lancashire and Thomas on loan or fee, and if we can do that we will get both in which means Ward will sign.

 

Its a huge merry-go-round but...

 

The other thing I heard was that he has not passed the medical and SSN took this as a done deal BEFORE the medical, once we agreed the medical, but he failed it.

 

confused.com YOU BET

 

606, because i got bored and made it up

it all sounds plausible, but anyone can make ****** up well enough to make it SOUND real.

 

Hopefully there will be a tweet tomorrow at 8ish saying signing announcement at 9am...

Yeh I have just seen the score and tell me about it Mate but I still think that there going down to the Champ though so it is all Good ;)!

COYR!

 

Lads look on the positive side. They were still ****in ****! Coventry an average at best championship team have taken them to a replay then extra time, no doubt knackering the pompey team for saturday. On top of that Pompey now have an additional cup game or two to play. I still think there going down and i can only see this cup run helping to put nails in their coffin! Financial gate receipts help for the extra cup games, but considering the **** poor turn out for both games i don' think they have gained alot from that.
