That's what I think.
Hull is such an odd choice. It's uninspiring (no offence to them, just the timing and their position).
I can understand his desire to get away but this doesn't feel a good choice
If he goes, I'll be absolutely gutted. It would feel like the heart being ripped out of the team. We'll likely then lose Bindon too in January. Bleak.
I think it just highlights how bad it must be behind the scenes and he’s been told so many lies. Also, if a takeover was genuinely happening he’d probably stay so that tells me nothing is happening.
He has said time and time again that he's not involved in the takeover stuff, he knows nothing about it and he doesn't want to.
People really need to stop reading into things that aren't there and doom mongering.
IF Selles goes it's a blow. But it's hardly instant exodus and complete free fall.
I think you're underestimating his importance. He's become the figure head for everything that's good with the club and is the focal point for the relationship with the fans, and that's before you consider the respect he has from the players, the job he has done introducing youngsters and improving players.
And on top of that, it's another clear sign to everyone that this club is in clear decline with no immediate sign of our fortunes being turned around. If you're a potential buyer, Selles was a big attraction, now they know they will have more mess to fix. It makes a sale less likely.
Now on the pitch we're doing fine, and will stay up this season. We've also got other good people at the club who care about us like Hunt and Leigertwood. But you can forget anyone extending their contract; our amount of good L1 players will dwindle year on year and we won't convince players like Smith, Knibbs and Wing to join again. L2 beckons unless we finally oust Dai, and the question is simply a matter of timing.
There was a chance with Selles here to get the buyer in and turn things around; make our L1 stay a blip and put this dreadful era behind us. That can still happen, but it just became a whole lot harder. Selles leaving is gutting as for a while we all saw the way out of this mess, and now we can't. In fairness, I've know since the failed Couhig deal that we were on borrowed time and everything off the pitch would start hurting us. This is the start of that.
