Have we reached a new low? Stuart asking for names of free agents on the fuking radio after being battered at home by Carlisle. Christ. He didn't did he? Oh Stuart. He did but it wasn’t a plea for help, he was attempting to be combative and it went clunk. He was informed that fans were complaining about our refusal to dip into the free agent market and his response was, ‘these people complaining, are they giving any names?’. He was trying to fire back but all he did was reveal his recruitment frustrations. His defence was that he felt sure that there wouldn’t be any names mooted because he knows how hard he’s finding it. To be fair to the interviewer he pointed out that Carlisle’s goal scorer was a free agent a month ago and McCall rambled about the lad being known to Chris Beech - again revealing more about McCall’s approach to recruitment than anything else. Another thing that infuriated the piss out of me was McCall’s attempts to illustrate how hard he’s been working on recruitment by citing the number of agents he’s asked to get back to him with player suggestions. Fuck my old boots, that’s not how this shit works at professional clubs. Professional clubs have areas in mind to strengthen and a network that keeps tabs on likely candidates. Having identified a suitable player you then get in touch with their agent and club. What you don’t do is contact agents and ask them what they’ve got because all you’ll get from them is a selection of their clients as opposed to the best candidates for the job. It was a fucking horrendous interview where he seemed completely fixated on how the whole game hinged on momentary lapse of concentration while ignoring the stone cold fact that we were utter dogshit for ninety minutes. Once again, the people that count seem to be in complete denial.

There was also talk of recruitment help coming in in January. Looks like Jewell’s coming in as DOF.

I'm so glad I've become so disengaged which means I'm not as angry or upset about this whole clusterfuck.

That was offside. No hiding the bigger problems but that looked blatant to me. Looking at that again and it doesn’t come off the Carlisle player like I thought it did. Onside after all.
