Biting his tongue?

Avoiding the dreaded questions!

Craig Short's interview alludes to Jones being offered a contract, do hope so.

 

[Oufccraig45]

It also wouldn’t surprise me if the question has even been asked…

It needs to be asked what a shambles

Craig Short's interview alludes to Jones being offered a contract, do hope so.

Only alludes? What did he say?

Yep looks that way which is good news. He didn't elude to much else bar the youth players will at some point go on loan but at the moment they are pushing for a first team place.

Just said coaching staff excited and impressed by him and he seems happy at the club, suppose he can't directly come out and say yeah we've offered him a contract so hopefully it'll just be down to Jodi now.

SHOULDN'T avoid any questions as the buck will lie with KR

 

[Oufccraig45]

Danny hylton.

He's scoring for Northampton

Could turn out to be a master stroke from Musk, though:

Musk asked for Twitter to disclose the amount of bot accounts that are on their platform, before he moved ahead with the acquisition.

They said no

He said “welllll, no thank you then. All the best”

Twitter is now suing him

If it goes to court, they’ll have to disclose the amount of bot accounts that they have not only knowingly facilitated on their platform, but helped to deploy, in order to sway/direct public opinion.

Twitter loses even more credibility than it already has.

Value of their stock goes through the floor.

Musk can buy it on the (relative) cheap, if he so desires..

Genius.

So why sue him then?

 

[Oufccraig45]

Biting his tongue?

Maybe times up

 

[Marked Ox]

I don’t understand that! I guess they’re after some compensation, but to actually force to purchase them is crazy!

Yes as they are saying his actions have harmed/reduced the share price/company value. Genuinely I'd laugh if he had to buy at the previously agreed price now as the current lost value would be down to his hubris.

 

[Yellowken]

Maybe times up

Potential frustration with something? The board, the take over, signings gazumped by other clubs, this forum? Who knows?

Musk would have to buy at the previously agreed price which is what the Twitter Board are suing him for.

Why doesn't he just come out and be straight with us all and maybe get more respect that way

 

[uptheus]

I laughed at Kips comment for its out and out trolling achievement; he knows exactly what he’s doing. f*****g threads a meltdown of epic proportions and I think it’s hilarious, I really do. The window closes on September 1st by the way.

Yeah, 20% of the season gone by then and cup games!

Start as you mean to go on I say.

During August we should have a very strong squad with the majority of it filled, with 1 or 2 players needed during August/1st September. And ideally you’d have the majority of the squad together mid July to train/get to know each other/settle in etc in readiness for the season to commence, so I’d say at the moment it’s not good business/planning, but hey ho!

 

[Yellowken]

Well, if he doesn't do one after the Coventry game then we'll surely know that somethings not right.

Interview that is, not literally 'do one '

 

[tatabanya]

Well then I'd say it's far from a no brainer

Why? Because he might get injured again? That’s why we can get him. Otherwise he’d be totally unattainable. So you take the risk, and even if we get 20 games out of him before he is match fit or it happens again (like Bodin last season) it’ll be worth it.

Spoke to press as usual before the game.
On the phone post match - if it wraps up a signing, i'll happily miss a post match interview after friendlies at Hungerford & Eastleigh.

 

[Osleroad]

Craig Short doing the post match interview. KR didn't do one last night either at Hungerford.

Odd.......?

No
