Lessons from Jerry Maguire

1815

News that a striker reneged on a verbal commitment to join the club 24 hours before deadline day should surprise no one.  Think back to that line from Jerry Maguire, when Jerry’s girlfriend hears he had secured a representative deal on a handshake, not an actual contract.  The agent’s reminder of Lesson One in business was sharp.

Last minute change of plans happen, but only when you’re doing last minute business.  We are now 10 hours away from the deadline and in desperate need for what we’ve been in desperate need…. to replace the long departed Gary Hooper.  It would be wrong to think that Scepovic was the only striker we were pursuing, so we’re not starting from scratch, but he was first choice.

The ball is still in play, not panicking yet.

  4. the long wait is over on

    Getting rid of Pukki and Balde and replacing them with two proper strikers looks like a good bit of business but you’ll forgive me if I reserve judgement on any new players until we’ve actually seen them play.

    Well according to one of the tweets earlier he’s going to explain it tomorrow.

     

     

    We’ll see what he says, but we all know if he screws the nut and scores the goals that we’ll be supportive of the guy. The news that he’s two grand down from the original deal makes me smile, I gotta admit.

     

     

    Lawwell is a son of a bitch, but even I accept there at times when I am glad he is OUR son of a bitch. Payback is a bitch.

    setting free the bears for Res. 12 & Oscar Knox but saying no to CQN racists:

     

     

    Unless you believe, as I have for a while, that the polls weren’t presenting a wholly accurate picture of the state of things on the ground.

     

     

    It was a matter of time before they started to more broadly reflect the reality.

     

     

    If it’s a beautiful sunny day it’ll be 55-45 Yes.

     

     

    If it rains, make that 60-40.
