Three is the Number

Quoted from 141269

I will say that it's myself that is being referred to.

Having provided knowledge reference ongoing transfer news & other info I found myself being discredited and my integrity questioned.

The basis for this I believe was in response for me previously calling out poor behavior of the DN35 podcast.  When i was asked to raise my concerns directly I was blocked on facebook and then ignored via other methods.

There are some great people here all with the common purpose of supporting the club but there are people that use the forum to take chunks out of each other.
I've found myself drawn into this and i don't like myself for it.  

So I've asked the mods to delete my account so I can restore my mental health to where I want it to be.  Thanks IlkleyMariner for speaking up.

Be kind to yourselves and others.

You seem to be referring to our interaction. Honestly, I’m unsure how you have taken all of the above from, what was in my view, was a very mild pointing out of the player you mentioned been discussed in another thread.

Happy for anyone, yourself included, to post whatever they like about signings/info etc. However as I’m sure you’re aware there are a lot of people posting none sense (it’s half the fun with the transfer thread). With that in mind I don’t think it an unreasonable thing to point out and scrutinise that. Especially if you’re stating yourself you want to become a trusted source. As I later said genuinely good luck to you with that, however I still do not think pointing the above fact out is unreasonable - there was no abuse or attempt to “take a chunk out”

If you want to say it’s due to what you said a few months ago now. That’s fine, even thought it most certainly is not. You’ve been posting on here for a while now and I don’t think we’ve had a negative interaction. As I said at the time and again this week - your opinion is absolutely fine, no problem at all - people are allowed an opinion. If I’d had that much of a problem with it, I’d of perhaps said so by now on any of the other posts you’ve made and thought our interaction at the time about it was quite positive, despite me disagreeing with you.

As for engaging elsewhere, I can’t talk about anyone else, but I’m unaware that I have blocked or ignored you at all even so you were (and still are) free to reach out to me on here via a PM. One of the accounts I run is at the bottom of my signature here, I’m also contactable via that.

I’m always happy to self reflect on anything I say, none of us are perfect and I certainly am living proof of that. However I genuinely do struggle to see how our initial exchange can be interpreted in the above way. As for mental health that is really important so please do take that seriously. Out of respect for what you have said  I will leave the ball in your court however please reach out privately if you wish.

How did this fallout happen over your podcast? I missed all this…..

Quoted from Heisenberg

Positive about these, but weird what the Cov lad said - the club were chasing him in the summer - does that mean that Hurst wanted him and Artell has just run with it?! That is strange.

Not if the head of recruitment/scouts were after him. They might have shown their evidence of why they wanted him to DA and he might agree. It’s not just managers who make those decisions any more.

Maybe he's one we missed out on on August deadline day

That’s a fair point, and I’m sure you’re right. I must admit, this sort of approach seems all too wannabe in my mind - we’re not in the Premier League. I know this will get more crosses than ticks, but the whole recruiting players on stats surely only really works if you have money to buy the best ones? Managers can’t like being told who to sign, surely?

Anyway. He does sound great! Good luck to these boys.

Reading between the lines and putting 2 and 2 together, I get the impression that most of our summer recruitment were very much Paul Hurst's men. That is a justifiable reason to get rid as it goes against the data driven approach we are going down.

If we sign more players identified and recommended by the Head of Recruitment and they aren't very good, I'm sure action will be taken. If managers keep knocking back recommendations without trying any of them, they leave themselves open to scrutiny by the board.

I’m hopeful these lads will help us to safety

Quoted from It Bites

As someone who suffers from mental problems , I soon discovered is best not to take any forum or social to heart . If they’re not saying it to my face I’m not bothered . Even to my face it’s their problem not mine

Excellent post. Many people have mental problems but don't even realise it.

We don’t.

A decent bunch of signings who should add another dimention on the pitch.
