Not if it was discussed during the interview and he agreed with it.

Put it this way, Grayson didn't fancy Maguire, he was signed anyway. I'm sure it's going on here and probably every other club in the country. It's the balance that's key, he must have a say especially as he's judged on whether he can get them playing or not.

if the owner or cheif exec or sports director says we are signing X Y or Z do you think there are that many managers who would say no ??

How many job vacancies are there to walk into out there? AN wouldnt be the first NW Championship manager to have players forced on him this season (or last)...

it probably comes with the contract !.....

Did you hear Sarri's interview yesterday. He'd no idea that they were signing Christian Pulisic, and said about Callum Hudson-Odoi that it wasn't his decision whether he stayed or left. It's the way of the new world that the guy at the helm is a coach now rather than the old style manager.

Ever considered that Ridsdale is basically playing the role of DoF?

It is, increasingly so. The subtle difference being that most clubs who go down this route don't concentrate on signing players like Seamus O'Flaherty from Derry City reserves.

At the time we signed Maguire I think all parties knew that Grayson wouldn't be the manager for the forthcoming season.

Absolutely right mate, if he knew what he was getting into then fair enough, he must've been desperate for the job at that point then.

Perhaps I'm naïve / stupid or whatever as there seems to be a few on here saying the same thing but I just find the whole thing completely barmy if I'm honest.

Hemmings may be a lot of things but a scout for new talent he certainly is not.

Still amounts to same thing. Riddler is basically Hemmings front man as we know, he's still pulling the strings which if that includes signing players he likes is, as I've said, completely barmy.

Be a thrill though wouldn't it, being a big time DoF identifying gems for Alex to polish 🙂... The silence from Alex was deafening for this signing.

Few posts above thinks right Burke can look tidy... Maybe if he grafts his nuts off he could prove us all wrong.

What I don't get is that it makes AN look bad. To anyone who doesn't come on here & anyone not ITK (like me) I'd be thinking AN couldn't spot a player to save his life if he thinks Burke is Championship quality.

You're possibly right but hopefully those days are behind us!
