That sounds meaningful for you chaps. Reminds me of the 40s song:

You've got to accentuate the positive
Eliminate the negative
And latch on to the affirmative
Don't mess with Mister In-Between!
Non essere curioso!

It’s all positive from what I’ve read so far but I hope he doesn’t start calling us a “project”. Cox started this and some players used it, “yeah I came here when the boss told me about “the project”, “I was excited by the project” Please No.

I agree Jonty. I often wonder whether that term comes from the top. I see that, technically, Evatt doesn't start until 1st July although I've no doubt he's already deep into the job.
It all comes 'round again.

Most club's nowadays talk about a" project " it's just the modern way of trying to hype up things in real terms I could describe the task ahead but project would somewhat underplay it ! :D

The manager sounded very positive on radio Cumbria sportstalk at six o clock tonight.

If he really did take a lower wage to play at a lower level than he needed to then he needs his head reading.

Standard pre-season signing spin.

it depends where he had offers from - for example he spent his recent career at Oldham so is likely based near Manchester where we train. It may make more sense to him to keep the family home where it is rather that move for the sake of a few extra pounds - particularly as he could have kids who (given his age) could be approaching exams age - putting family first may be a good reason

Plus I suppose he might be thinking it could guarantee starting more games at this level as well given age and what have ya!.

He played 5 games last season for a relegated team, cant imagine too many clubs falling over themselves to sign him, typical pre season bigging up off mediocre signings

Not to sure how you came to that conclusion

I’m no maths expert but 19 league apperances, 6 efl trophy appearances and 1 league cup apperance
Equals 26 doesn’t it? Slightly more than the 5 you said?
