Well it's not, cause he was right.
Nah it's still pretty funny.

Just on Joyce.
I don’t deny that he has done some amazing work in his time at the club.
It’s just unfortunate for him that he got burnt last year with Kelly and Dusty and learnt to change his approach this year.
Sadly even after luring Gubby in via his connection with Brad and putting them on the frontline, that didn’t work.
Is it a respect thing? A whose who thing?
Is he not well known or well liked?
Ben Buckley’s leadership will be judged on results and the club from Joyce to Brad to Heath all the way through to Polec and Mason Wood - look like fools.
Not by us or internally, but from the greater football community.
The large contracts and godfather offers don’t work. They just don’t.
This tactic shows that the promise of playing at Arden St means nothing and not even the millions in the world on top is enough.
I love the club for persisting and for effort and to keep trying to make us better, but not even being competitive on field in 2018 lured a big fish over.
Where this hurts us going forward is after Dusty and Gaff changed their minds last minute, any future free agents we go after can do this and not care about how it affects North.
That’s the perceived weakness that makes me displeased with the tactic.
The offer should be out there and if not accepted withing a reasonable time
then withdrawn.
Graeme Atkins - that just triggered me. Heartbroken with a useless number 36 on my duffel coat. He did diddly squat at the Pies though, so that helped.
This is a devious piece of reporting:
They are implying that he flew over and told us face to face that he wasn't coming.
That is not the case.
a) He flew over last Wednesday
b) Today is Sunday
I’m equally torn between wanting the club to brush it off their shoulders and the club declaring a fatwah on Gaff’s entire family.
Just quoting myself here, what am I to do with my duffel coat now ? I could re arrange the letters mmmm ?What's everyone worried about , I am so confident he is coming I have his name already emblazoned on the back of my duffel coat![]()
Which makes Brad's B & F comments quite interesting. Is he simply referring to Polec & Hall and the potential for Newman and Finlayson, or are there any other things on the burner in mid player range?

My understanding of that is he flew over today. That is why I think Bowen was the first to report it today, Gaff told Joyce face to face today and then Joyce leaked it to Bowen.This is a devious piece of reporting:

This doesnt make sense to me. Surely they'd support there son? If they wanted him back surely hed be with us?I think half the Gaff family are currently pro Fatwah for the time being. They're as baffled as we are.
-More important: have we made even a single contractual decision about our list on the assumption Gaff was joining North?

Yes and you are not going to like the answer.

Gee. I hope some players weren’t moved on to fit Gaff in.
He had a 1 in 2 chance of being right.
He's bullshitting until he proves otherwise. He's been asked for the name of the guy we're targeting now. Unless he gives it up, assume he's full of shit.
My guess is one of billy or dec would at least be on the list stillWhat was it?
Then he has left us on quite a tree limb.Good attempt, but wrong dots connected.
Do you think Brad might have actually believed Gaff was coming on Friday night ( after wednesday, before sunday)?
I pointed out that I post irregularly, I never say anything negative about north. At all. This doesn’t mean I don’t ever read the forum, I do daily.
For the people that come out of the woodwork to post negative thoughts, that’s them, not me.
On gaff, North are doing a great job. All the players that have entirely said no, have stayed put, I don’t see any other clubs having gun players deliberating north or their current teams.

Well it's not, cause he was right. Scrotes have been comparing notes and we have different contacts but the mail was the same.
He backflipped, like Dusty. Those stories will be told in detail. Choose to believe what you want, we are trying to keep people in the loop because it's not something the club can just comment on.
Thankfully Gaff had slightly more integrity to come tell us in person, out of respect for Cam.
We are not happy and I don't think Gaff parents are either, but I think they'll get over it first.
