AshtonRobin21 Posted June 6, 2022 Share Posted June 6, 2022 Gregor recently posted on twitter stating that he had a big interview that's "not to be missed". This was about a week ago. He then have an update saying that he was hoping it would be able to be published by now. My guess was a new player, possibly waiting for the club to make the announcement. Delay likely to be due to the jubilee holiday. or could be the annual interview with Gould or SL. Anyone heard anything about it? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LondonBristolian Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 (edited) I cannot imagine an interview with Gould, Pearson or Lansdown would need to be embargoed. Given it presumably must announce some news that cannot be released yet, and it is unlikely the club will have leaked a new signing, my best guess would it would be an interview with someone who is about to leave the club but that the announcement has been delayed. There is an obvious candidate who most of us fear may be about to announce they are leaving for personal reasons but I’ll wait and see rather than stating a potentially wrong guess and turning it into a rumour.

On the Kane Wilson thread, I spoke about how Bristol World, and the Watford Observer were quoting each other over their "If Rob Edwards was interested in signing old FGR players" pieces. There is of course a necessity for sites to generate their own click bait nowadays (look at the Bristol live "Latest Transfer gossip" or "Live" pages). The headlines of any site nowadays say nothing of the true message (ie F##k all going on). But you have to click onto them to be told that nothing is happening. It's all a bit painful at the moment. That's why the Naismith transfer was so refreshing. No "Gossip", ITK's posting nonsense etc. All very old school, done before anyone really knew anything about it ( other than @Lew-T of course) 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recalled your comment about his views on BJ, but had to go back to check the detail. How extremely prescient. In June 2019, Hastings described Boris Johnson, the Conservative Party leadership candidate, as "unfit for national office, because it seems he cares for no interest save his own fame and gratification ... [his] premiership will almost certainly reveal a contempt for rules, precedent, order and stability ... If the price of Johnson proves to be Corbyn, blame will rest with the Conservative party, which is about to foist a tasteless joke upon the British people – who will not find it funny for long.
