    Saw an interesting snippet on RTG which sounds like it might be truth.

    apparently in the RAWa meeting someone stood up and asked KLD where the money went from the sales of lihadje and Stewart. kLD then replied “I hope you aren’t accusing me of taking money after the amount I have invested “

    So this is where we are, accusing our investors to their face of stealing money….

    Simple solution to the Clarke dilemma re crossing the ball rather than cutting in and trying to score himself is to play him on the right wing where he used to play for Leeds.
    The first time I saw him play was in that position and he looked impressive then as well.

    That doesn't sound great.

    Rusyn makes some great runs but hardly ever gets the thru ball

    And this lot are supposed to represent us? Well they certainly don't represent me if that is what they are coming out with.

    I can't think of many two characters traits that mix worse than loud and uninformed.

    I guess the dodo would point to slow and stupid.

    But there's not many.

    Not accusing at all. We were told any moneys from sales would be re invested. As of yet nothing on players

    What does the evidence so far suggest?

    One rumour for each position. One ex player who's 33 and been out of contract and one who wants to go to Cardiff.

    It also sounds like bullshit. Not a chance KLD would respond like that

    So the right players haven't yet become available, presumably.

    Exactly this. It's so frustrating. Happens time and time again when Rusyn plays. He makes great runs and we never even look for him.

    That's a very defensive reply from KLD mind.

    'the money is there for the right player' would be the correct answer. Nobody in reality would begrudge him a return on his investment if we were successful.

    There is no evidence, so it suggests nothing. We've been pretty tight on keeping transfers under wraps under KLD. And no matter how many players we're looking at, if the deal isn't right for both parties, it won't happen.

    Do they get things right? I rarely look over there but when I do they just seem to spam the place

    Unless you are directly involved with the clubs recruitment team you have no idea how many it's or outs there will be

    I agree this is what ends up happening. But I think it’s only part of the picture against hull we had numerous options to hit the front runner and didn’t take it Rusyn was making some fantastic runs and received 0 passes our central midfield has a dreadful habit of slowing the game down leaving their only option to pass it back or wide. Pritchard seems to be the only one looking to drive forward or play the forward pass. The slow pace of our play at the moment makes it really difficult for any forward Maybe Rusyn doesn’t help by not really holding the ball up agree We need a forward who can hold the ball up but also a midfield who will mix it up move the ball quicker and drive forward past the centre forward That’s what we needed under Mowbray unfortunately the really slow regimented play we saw against Hull just makes it look worse.

    No evidence suggests nothing is happening.

    That's not to say it won't happen. I hope it will.

    But if it doesn't....

    This is where an intentional leak can help rather than hinder. A snippet to a trusted source and it all calms down.
