Never had the privilege to be referred to as an "internet hero" before.
You entered a vacuous space so these terms, labels and derisively, dismissive denouncing are bound to be vacuously, injudiciously and loosely applied, keeping in mind so many in here actually believed every word a snakeoil salesman said to be gospel ( and some still do
), you can take that as a compliment, afterall truth is the sheep kept sleeping while the creep was creeping and many have still not woken up the reality that the 'belief cloud' had well and truly turned into a mushroom!
Anyway Lyon was only trying to address and fast track one of the messes that he inherited in trying to inject some pace into our list, he's already done wonder's for our ruck stocks and when I say HE, not forgetting the wonderful team and support he has with a truly professional football department, not the dominion of one megalomaniac,
the other area of neglect being leg speed and pace, sure the player we selected was a risk and hindsight will say a mistake but it's crystal clear why the gamble was taken and this was due to the state of the list and deficiencies within, that he inherited.
The turnover of players in the last three years has been extreme and it is a credit to Ross Lyon and the new professional football department that they've done so brilliantly so far, not withstanding the recent hiccup!
If anyone was going to turn that player around it would have been Ross Lyon, unfortunately the player did not give Ross enough time to do it.
DO THE MATHS AND THE SQUARES ARE ALL ROOTED.
