Andy Crosby

[Rockford's Love Child]

Little more than ten minutes…you’re slipping!


Or, even more simply, just a touch of foresight.

Except I didn’t state that at all.

Er, right.

This thread is about Andy Crosby, not you.

That’s right, hence my posts about Andy Crosby and his appointment. Read them again, because you’ve clearly grasped little of it and, as usual, are trying to twist things to fit your own agenda.

A quarter of a season is longer than any new manager bounce and the fact that Crosby was able to get a tune out of the same squad that Adkins so dismally failed with means that AC at least makes competent on the manager gradings, probably more.

Unsure we were watching the same match. Crewe were arguably the better side in the first half, but after the break, even with their full compliment were rarely in it. Even in the opening half, the disallowed goal was their only goal attempt of note.

Which is what I wrote! We took over as events overtook the game, just as I predicted pre-match, we needed it they didn't.

According to Smurthwaite himself it was he who funded Crosby

Crosby is Nigel's man and I am sure that will be used against if and when he hits dodgy patch with us. One legacy of Nigel's I will never reckon up, is his resigning of Saunders. The greatest managers make awful signings, Fergie some left back from Bristol and Paisley had written Rush off at one point. But Nigel re-signed Saunders, that was awful.
There is nothing midtable about our current lot. The one thing that seems certain our finances will change. Any takeover will give them a major boost. However if Palios hands day to day control over completely and tells us to live within our means, the playing budget will be slashed by about a million!
This is all or nothing

Based on his loan he has been funding day to day expenses since Winter so technically he is right. Bit concerning he has an ego that demands such a claim be made. Technically Crosby is now being funded by Nixon. It also suggests any takeover was not coming quick enough to survive on Smurfs money.
If the takeover is done we will know in hours, if not like any deal it is not done until it is completed, just like a house sale!

No not based on the loan, he funded it personally and not through his company.

The takeover is done, when it will be announced is anyone's guess.

And Saunders was signed by Mellon of course, for whom he’d been a target for some time.
Can understand why successive managers might’ve thought they could make a player out of him but, for all the positives such as his work rate, energy and attitude, I just don’t think the end product will ever be there.
Who knows what the takeover will bring but, if it’s significantly extra finance, you can see Saunders and one or two others having their contracts mutually settled early.

True but are you claiming the bloke on the bench had any role in them!

Yes! In the way he set the team up, gave them confidence & freedom to play etc etc

I'll have an ounce of that you are smoking

I was under the impression he was an emergency signing after Matt declined our offer? Either way to sign him was an error but to re-sign, unforgivable

Well shame he didn't do the same in several games before and after when we just gained many broken seats in the kop!!! Patrick has missed the fairway at least ten times since, Crosby must be an idiot

Hahaha! I’d look closer to home! Least constructive response ever!

Well if he’s an idiot, I hope we employ many more idiots for the forthcoming season!

I was using your logic on how we scored three screamers from outside the box in one game, only! Seems to have gone over your head so at least you can feel like most goalies to play us this season!!!

If it is done it is now registered at Company House and will become public knowledge very soon, can't recall the timings in place.. The last filing took 16 days although Easter struck

I understood your bizarre comment & responded in similar fashion! On a thread that was created to praise AC’s achievements I find it very strange that you choose to disregard his achievements & big up NA! Anyway, I’m off to enjoy the nice weather. I’ll leave you to it…

 

[bring back the cowshed!]

Am I the only one who expected to log onto WR today and find posts full of joy and praise for those who made it happen? Thank god we aren’t going down. Let’s just enjoy the moment. The argument is not worth the candle.

Big up NA? The only thing I have written about him today is incredible decision to re-sign Saunders knowing what we all did. I suppose if you invent things on the way down you will do so on the way up.
