Folks
I just wrote a long, detailed response to some of the points made above but for some reason it wouldn't post. So to summarise!

You all know I do a lot of work for the club on the website etc. but am not the official voice of the club - I'm just one of you who is lucky enough to get paid for watching football! These are therefore my views not the ASFC's.

- Proc, Joycey and Deano - the news that they have agreed new contracts is not on the fishy site because they have not actually signed new contracts yet. In the past the gun has frequently been jumped with regards to website stories and statements, so now until things are confirmed they won't go up there (though I am in no doubt that these three will sign) I wouldn't want a return to contradictory, confusing messages or statements made on the basis of partial information. Let me know if you think this is the wrong approach.

- Ryan, Jacobson etc. - these two deals were confirmed today online when the other two clubs involved confirmed the moves. As above, until the ink is on the paper, officially nothing has happened.

- In the last couple of weeks it's been extremely difficult for the club to put stuff online. They've had no internet for around ten days. No fault of their own. I had to do the Carling Cup draw and the fixtures on my laptop with Orange dongle in the stand. It took a while!!!

These are the facts that I know. Hopefully I'll have more to tell you tomorrow when I speak to Coley and some of the lads at the training ground. So watch this space.

And by the way, I completely agree with a lot of the sentiments above. This isn't a "defend the club" post. I sponsored a player and don't have the shirt. I think it's absolutely ludicrous that there is no full time commercial manager at the club during what should be the busiest time of year and I agree that more changes need to be made in the future.

I just wanted to try to shed some light on some specific subjects. Hope it helped.

P.S. This was the shortened version. Honest!!!
