Other Scottish signings were Nigel Pepper (Aberdeen), Stevie Hammell (Motherwell), Mark Oxley (Hibs), Mark McNally and Paul Byrne (both Celtic).

They aren't all duffers.

Paul Byrne and Mark McNally as well.

Hang on, they played in relegation sides as well.

At a much higher level mind. McNally was a great defender.

He’s only 6-1 isn’t he ? That’s not overly tall

In his prime, Byrne was one of my all-time favourite Southend players.

They were all relegated other than loanee Pepper though, which was my point (I suppose technically McNally left in March and we weren’t relegated until April).

Indeed - great player. There was some talent in that custard splat Championship side, as well as too much booze and a poor manager.

It was pretty much the same squad that had us sitting 6th in December the season before, minus Chris Powell and Dave Regis.

Listening to kevs post match interview he sounds like he is getting fed up

Listening to kevs post match interview he sounds like he is getting fed up

I’d be surprised if he didn’t sound ‘fed up’ (which probably sounds very similar to displeased, unhappy, angry, disappointed etc).

It’s not possible to read into that tone and demeanour and determine the cause unless he’s actually said it.

The most likely cause in that moment is the result - quelle surprise, in other words.

 

[THE SEVENTIES NORTH BANK]

Listening to kevs post match interview he sounds like he is getting fed up

He's always been like that. That's the way he is. He's was one of the most determined as a player, and is the same as a manager. He very much takes defeats to heart. Especially when it's a late goal etc. Then he does what he always does. They will look at that game, and point out the mistakes made to the players, then put it to bed, and concentrate on the next game.

...........off topic AGAIN! Has it actually been on topic since our last signing????

You can probably imagine this is the toughest period of football we have faced, so I guess it would be very tough for him.

 

[yogi bear up the cagire]

Alternatively we could have two threads. One on the original idea of 'Transfer rumours' and a new one..............something like 'Discussions around topics related to transfers.'

 

[Boreham Blue]

Having moaned that there are no transfer rumours on here its got pretty dull just talking about Calum Butcher hasn’t it.

 

[Linda Loan Shark]

To be fair threre has only been 3 signings in the last week at this level so it seems very slow for everyone

 

[thenobster]

If the rumours are true, we’ve abandoned our ‘let’s get hungry and young’ for ‘old and probably past it’ recruitment policy. Almost like Brown was still about

Needs must, for the time being.

 

[SHRIMPERR]

Needs must, for the time being.

Needs must, is how you inadvertently get yourself stuck with that problem once again.

Is Callum butcher imminent or is there no truth in the deal
