I dont recall any abuse toward TS from this site. There was frustration and worry baring in mind we were struggling to put together a team of players and had to cancel the friendly against Grimsby.......what was that telling us. I think we were right to ask questions and express our worries. We are after all investors in the club.

I dont countenance abuse toward anyone, particularly players and specifically towards a man who has done so much for this club. But I dont think the club did itself any favours in all the talk about ambition and big budgets (in RUFC terms), only to see failure after failure in the transfer market.

Since the news broke about our interest in Bradshaw and Gregory and our failure to sign either of the big targets, all the news has been negative until the last day or two. Since then TS has told us of their frustrations with negotiations with agents and the demands being made. That information could have been transmitted to us without revealing the players involved and I believe there would have been a lot more understanding and a lot less criticism.

I was very worried and concerned and at times critical, but they've come good thus far. I think there is a lesson to be learned there for all of us, club and supporters.
