Powell

What did he say? “Lads, that’s me done. Well, actually, I’ll play this game at Derby first and then I might be done. Or I might not. But if that JR fella asks, tell him I’ve said my goodbyes and I’m done. But don’t put an apostrophe in ‘goodbyes’ when you tell him.”[/quote]

Obviously 90% of the CL posters on here have not had their wish come true for 2014, as you are still posting on here. :P

Your unmistakeable sarcastic, but un-witty trademark, goes before you.
I can only tell you what I’ve been told, so if it’s not 100% accurate, don’t blame the messenger. I desperately want it be duff information, but let’s see if there is any substance in it, albeit incorrect timings.
Anyway, it’s another great trait of yours, “I’ve nothing to add to this discussion so I’ll pick up on the spelling mistakes”, like many have said before me, for Christ sake man, get a fekin life! :lol:[/quote]

I also pick up on people who claim to be in the “ITK” but post absolute bollocks and believe it to be the truth. So, if you’re going to post shit that subsequently proves to be shit then, as the messenger, expect to be shot. ;)

I have a couple of fairly decent sources associated with club but they are, quite rightly, extremely discreet at all times. That’s why when I hear someone brag that they have “it on good authority” I am confident that 95% of the time it’s complete fabrication.

Anything I am told, by the way, I wouldn’t dream of sharing on this forum.[/quote]

OK you have some fair points which I acknowledge [see its easy, no childish comments on your intellect no reference to spelling mistakes etc]

I have spoken to “my insider” since the info he gave me and it turns out that it was Will Keane and not Powell that had said his goodbye””””s. I suppose the young Man Utd loanee got mixed up in the Chinese whisper chain.

You are not unique by the way, I would expect anyone who received sensitive information about the club, from officials of that club, would keep mum. That’s completely different for persons who are not connected to the club and the information is common knowledge or not deemed sensitive / confidential.
I know several staff at the DW, we share the same conference facilities, run regular daytime meetings in the various DW lounges, frequent the same eating places for lunch, work closely with their community outreach teams and we even provide their development squad / reserves with their football pitch and changing facilities.
I also worked for 20 years with the dad of a Latics official that, shall we say, is sat closer to the manager than any spectator during a match.
I would never dream of even asking any of them for information about the club.

Oh and your comment “That’s why when I hear someone brag that they have “it on good authority” I am confident that 95% of the time it’s complete fabrication”. I totally agree with that statement. That’s why I didn’t post that the info I received was given on good authority. B)

At my age I find it very dangerous to fish rivers such as The Severn or Wye after rain. Those steep banks are treacherous and you might not see me again until I surface at either Bristol or Chepstow.
Now you wouldn’t want that would you?

Float tube.

And Buxton goes – for a Burton.
