[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 976610, member: 17987"] 100%. At this point I simply think that our management no longer deserves the benefit of the doubt in this area anymore. We've heard for how many years now that we were "in the mix" or "in conversations" for so and so; how often has it actually produced anything? At this point when I hear we're "having conversations" about acquiring a player or whatnot I'm just going to assume it's bulls**t until some evidence comes forth to suggest otherwise. I've said it elsewhere but I really would not be surprised in the slightest if someone at 1265 Lombardi Ave is leaking out fabricated reports of "interest" to the press just to make it look like we've done our due diligence. I guess they figure it will relieve them of some pressure or something. But as it stands it seems to me like there's really only two options, more or less. First is that we were never really "in the mix" in the first place and reports of us having talks with so-and-so were never accurate to begin with. Second is that we technically did enquire about a player but presented an offer that was low enough as to be easily outbid by other interested parties, which ultimately effectively also means we weren't really seriously "in the mix" to begin with, either.
