I've no doubt the person that told me did so in absolute good faith, but it didn't materialise. I was in the know, forty years ago. But I didn't think: "I'm in the know," because being in the know in 1984 wasn't a thing, not like it is now. As far as I knew, back then. My Source was a Mr T Cooper who replied in writing to my own concerned letter regarding the contract situation of our right back at the time, Paul Stevens. He was wanting more dosh, and Terry Cooper told me: "Don’t worry, he's not half as good as he thinks, and he'll sign the new contract." Or words to that affect. I still have the letter somewhere. I am also in the know regarding Joe Royle and his two attempts to secure the manager's position here. My source for this? Mr Joe Royle, who I happened across in a Waitrose in North Somerset about ten years ago now. Very forthcoming, he was. Happy to chat. I haven't written to Liam Manning regarding Tommy Conway though, nor bumped into him in a supermarket. I imagine he shops online for his groceries. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people are attention seeking, they will get found out. If they're not, as KITR clearly wasn't, good on them for passing on what they could.
