Good news if true. Hopefully the journos get a word or two from Johnson after the game and he has some positive news re signings
If he goes to a championship club fair enough. There are one or two I'd prefer not to see him go to but we can't effect that. Recruitment (and retention) team being tested hugely this month. Lets hope they do enough to get us up.
Had yer horses, it didn't come straight from the manager and being back in doesn't mean he will be signing up again, it could be more talks or even just saying goodbye and clearing out his locker!
I'd imagine he cleared his locker at the end of the season, if indeed covid permits them to store any personal belongings at the AOL I don't think the management team would be making statements like that if things weren't all agreed
I wouldn't have thought that, in this new era of professionalism at the club, the management team would be leaking anything at all about signings! My point is though, the person cited in the first tweet is corrected by a subsequent tweet so, for the time being, I am keeping my scepticism hat firmly in place.
Aye, but the correction was only about who the quotes came from. It's not as if the tweeter was claiming Johnson said it when in fact it was just some random in the crowd - you'd assume the Assistant Coach is "in the know"
The Chron: Johnson has been in frequent dialogue with O9 and IS HOPEFUL that O9 will sign a new contract. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/spo...ohnson-20964362.amp?__twitter_impression=true
What do you expect him to say man? **** me, it's as if people on here (and over the road) believe EVERY word uttered or printed if it's bad news, but become the world's biggest sceptic if it's positive. Let me say it again - the Assistant Coach told supporters that Luke O'Nien "will be back in on Monday" Interpret that how you will, but it's pretty clear what is being implied
All of which shows that patience is important in the summer recruitment process. There will be players who would love to be here but who will want to assess all of their options before commiting to anything. Just because no one is through the door yet doesn't mean there's a problem with a recruitment process.
No. Let me repeat what the assistant coach is reported as saying. O9 is in on Monday. That is all. He might know more. He might not and just might be trying to imply that he is more in the know than he actually is - which wouldn't be the last time that someone tried to make themselves sound more important now would it?!
He's an employee of the club directly involved in the 1st team. He's not some keyboard warrior trying to get likes
