Well apparently Broadhead was told he could go when the Broja deal was done, it was said around deadline day Broadhead repeatedly rung KM to find out what the hell was going on, none of his calls were picked up, Broja deal fell through, Broadhead continued to call and was finally answered where he was told "you're staying now" it was put to me that Broadhead was far from impressed and it comes across as being handled very poorly.
If all true (which you just have to take with a pinch of salt) --->> Broadhead "was told" --->> and then rung McKenna to pester him about it ? So the question is, who told him? :lol: All sounds like made up wind & pish from a pot stirring social media Norwich City supporter to create unnecessary waves. Probably the same people who were planting the "Kieron's off to Brighton" BS pre-season.

It isn't Marko, it's from another player.
But as you say, allegedly, going on who I heard it from and how, I completely believe it.

It's only one side of the story though, no?

Todays saying of "if its not on video, don't believe it" has a lot of weight behind it. Anyone's single thought can be written down and then its on everyone's screens in milliseconds. None of this "waiting on the second post" these days. :lol:

There is an issue between both Hibs and Hearts forums, (both guilty) of obscure "news" being posted. Long story short, we are just always wondering if things are legit or not.
"Nooooo, that's not true. That was a jambo who who told you that!"

Someone could post today that Eddie Howe is desperate for Kieron McKenna as his number two at Newcastle. Now that is 100% wind & pish (to tie in with other W&P I post) ....., but WHAM BAM its out there on bigger platforms in seconds because there will always be people who "go with it".
You just cannot believe (with 100% certainty) ANYTHING anymore.

Anyway, feeling bad. Told Broadhead I'd help him put the toys back but I am just waaaaay too concerned with the news that Hutch might be off to Villa. Nightmare.

See?!!! Done it again.

I get people's scepticism, I'm pretty much the same most of the time, however, not everything is just idle talk, some things are occasionally correct and yes there are two sides to every story.

Don't you think it's odd though that Broadhead has not had a single minute on the pitch ? Woolfenden is falling out of favour too, both players seemingly having had disagreements, I'll not be surprised if both depart in January.

I genuinely believe it is down to the ability of the squad. The boss perhaps recognises that Broadhead is possibly not EPL able...... and Woolfy certainly is not. He struggled in the Champ AND in L1 on occasion.

And I suppose the bottom line is......, even it is 100% true......, then fk em. The management are in charge. And he's still being paid. No one wants a toys chucker outer-er at the club. It'd be like having that one guy in a four-man heating installation team who's always banging on about a few quid more an hour. FK EM --->> get rid.

Confirmed by McKenna that Hirst does have a knee injury. Not sure on time scale yet but he is having a scan next week.

Say no more, I stand by my thoughts, we need better and far more reliable, this is the 3rd injury now, will cost us if we don't act in January

My understanding is that you only wait that long for a scan if there's a load of swelling, so yeah, that's not good.

Got to hope that Delap isn’t suspended or worse still picks up an injury before January then. As Mike says we certainly need to be looking at bringing in cover for Delap then. Big ask for Al-Hamadi to provide this as he has been carrying an injury himself and under a year ago was playing League 2 football. We were probably looking at him to develop more at Championship level but now he could really be thrown in at the deep end in the Premiership.

We'll be the most popular football team in Baghdad, that's for sure.

Exactly, he looked a handful when he played, albeit a little raw but let's not forget he was carrying an injury which needed surgery. Hopefully 15 or 20 minute cameos with his speed and enthusiasm could be useful.
