message from Justin

Post by Pressman »

Just come off the phone from Justin who wants me to pass on this message.

"I am absolutely devastated at what has happened to this football club culminating in today's disappointing news. It has also left me very angry! I have a great affinity for R+D and especially the fans who have supported me throughout the 3 years I've been here. It is they that I feel most sorry for right now.

I will now step back and consider my own position but hope that this great club survives."

I hope you passed on our respects to him Chris, I think I speak for most of us when I say he's a top bloke !!

He was on a phone-in with Sky Sports News a short while ago and basically said that he is gutted and would now have to seriously consider his future away from the club.

Good Luck Justin, its been a blast!

Hey Rob, now we haven't got a team to follow maybe we should become Justin groupies and decide to follow him in his career, kinda like friendly stalkers ;) :lol:

Certainly did Jim. He is genuinely upset, disappointed + angry that it has reached this stage! We discussed many options but JE has a mortgage to pay like the rest of us and understandably
Now has to think about his family.

On behalf of the fans I thanked him for his tenure + wished him all the best for the future. He is a top bloke + without the best mgr we've had.

I'm liking that idea, it's better than my idea of being an Aaron O'Connor groupie now that he's gone to Luton. :D

Best manager in our history I'd say, he had little resources to work with and gave us a wonderful couple of seasons packed with great memories.

Certainly the best manager with what/who he had to work with, Talbot obviously was the most successful in terms of trophies, but look at the resources he had !!!

Trouble with my cunning plan is Justin may well end up at "that" club up the A6, I just couldn't do it :shock:

Although if they ended up playing at NP we could just go into the away end every game.
