Not sure why you offer a player on a 2 month contract and let it expire during the window which could lead to other clubs taking him. If he’s good enough to be offered a deal in the first place, I’d have just given him until the end of the season. That would just be a 6 month or so deal. He was on trial for long enough and Moore said he wanted to sign him pretty quickly. If no club wanted to touch him with a barge pole I doubt his wage is that much of a problem. Find it strange, unless it’s being reported inaccurately. Might have been done as a favour to the player. I might be wrong but if they are under contract outside the window. He wouldn't be able to join another club. This season. If his contract ended in Feb. Rather than now. Think it's the same reason, why you can't sign free agents, who have had there contracts cancelled outside the window in say February. If they were free agents during the window, you are ok to take them on outside the window. Edited January 21, 2022 by Maddogbob 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thing is, these so called journalists ( some not all ) can say anything and a section of the fans will believe anything. Always thought it was guff, you only have to listen to comments made by DM and NML earlier in the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was news and they reported it. He literally could’ve walked away on Monday, and you’d have been complaining that the local media hadn’t found out why. I used to think that too but last nights post from Alex was malicious at best, trying to turn Wednesdayite’s against the club & each other (as proven by the usual balloons on here & other platforms diving in & as usual making themselves look foolish) …….. Or at worse proving that his finger is so far removed from the pulse of the club that you can’t believe a word he writes & his position as a specialist Wednesday journalist is now pretty much untenable! To have to publish a retraction, thinly disguised as an update less than 18 hours after the original debacle is pretty damming! 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does a great job covering us and tbh you are the one that jumps down peoples throats if they dare criticise the club. And turns people against each other. Now you are trying to scapegoat him cause of one article and cause divisions. His position is untenable?? Give over. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HootHoot Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Journalists get it wrong sometimes, it happens. In no way does Alex benefit from knowingly pushing a false story. He'd lose access to the club and his integrity and reliability would rightly be questioned. He's been fed information by a trusted source that was clearly a load of tosh. Now the question is, was his source simply mistaken? Or does the source have another reason for pushing that agenda? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groundhopping Owl Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Glad we've solved this one. Whisper it quietly amind the hysteria but NML is probably better suited to the left wing-back role than Corbeanu was. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Crann and Alex Miller do a great job and the standard of Wednesday journalists is better than before. Certainly their contributions would be missed by most if they packed in. He got this one wrong it seems; it happens. The reactions by some people to both the initial report and now to the update/retraction is laughable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel free to be a petulant immature tw*t because one source was wrong. Its happened to loads of journalists and it doesnt stop level headed people reading future articles. But keep sniping at fellow fans who may at times have valid criticisms of the club and snidely try and discredit Alex Miller. Why have such a hysterial reaction?
