More lies from ER

Re: contract talks with Cook/Taylor/Mowatt. Have spoken to Mowatt's agent who says he's had no contact from Leeds. "None whatsoever."

From Phil Hay

The claim by the Yorkshire Evening Post, which the club feels was published with damaging intentions, is entirely inaccurate and unfair reporting. - Sh:t stirring

Don, will Evans be allowed to speak?

Will he tell us of his wonderful, wonderful meeting with the President?

Will he tell us if Perth's contract has been renewed?

I guess you'll be listening hoping for bad news

The YEP is usually bang on, massimo Cellino will be getting annoyed at the bad press that he brought on all by himself and put out the statment.

Expect the club to be tyring to put out fires for a long while now.

I've shamelessly copied this summary:
__________

Lee Sobot:

Decent media presence for Steve Evans presser. Phil Hay, Popey, Sky, PA, radio, all sorts. All in. 10am start. All latest here #lufc

Evans on Brighton 1st half: "The performance was unacceptable. The first thing I must do is apologise to the supporters."

SE on why not talk on Monday: "Senior people at the club were protecting me. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I get emotional"#

Evans confirms that he was instructed not to speak to press after the Brighton game, was informed by the media team. #lufc

Evans on was he close to getting sacked: "I never lay in fear of my job because I work too hard. People make decisions, I respect that"

Evans: "I have to believe that I will still be here (in the summer) 100 per cent. We are trying to build."

Evans: "We never take players out of the team here for one error. We all make mistakes. It's how you learn from them

Chris Wood is possibly going to be available for Cardiff, not this weekend.

Evans says he will not be a 'PR vehicle' for #lufc. "I need to concentrate on the matches and the football.

Evans: "I pick the team, I picked a shape (for Brighton). I take ultimate responsibility.

Evans: "Brighton was the toughest night of my life. The toughest 24 hours."

Evans: "For Leeds United to be 4-0 down at half-time is unacceptable and we all know that

Evans: "We are blessed to have our supporters. I humbly apologise to the fans

Evans: "I am no longer going to be a PR advert for people above me, they have to do that for themselves.

Evans says Chris Wood is no longer injured, but he still won't be rushed back v Bolton due to medical team advice

Evans on Chris Wood: "The medical staff tell me the risk of playing him against Bolton is high. We can't risk that.

Stuart Dallas is back available, as is Bellusci (from suspension)

Evans: "We have never had any credit for our star players being out. But we have to get on with it.

Evans: "Scott Wootton has a big part play to here. He might not play this weekend but he has a big part to play

Evans on coping with Brighton display: "I am the motivator. But it's a case of who motivates the motivator?

Evans on not being allowed to talk Monday: "I think the president made a wise decision."

Evans on Lewis Cook: "I didn't know if there was a release clause or not. I leave that to the powers that be

Evans: "I have never believed in setting points targets or tallies (for survival). We know what the Championship is like.

Evans: "Mr Cellino owns this football club. He is entitled every day 100 per cent to have his opinion."

Evans on latest on contract talks with big 3: "100 per cent I don't know. As head coach I want to work with them.

Evans: "Speculation on my future will only go away when we win matches.

Evans on why he said contract talks with Cook, Taylor, Mowatt were ongoing: "Maybe that's what I would have liked to have been true"

The reality is that Evans has no idea if contract talks are ongoing with Cook, Taylor, Mowatt. "100 per cent, I don't know."

So Chris Wood is not injured now but he won't play this weekend because "the risk is too high

Never head so much spin so often. This club is truly a joke.

'Media team' does he think we're stupid?

Think i will give it a swerve if no Wood, dont fancy sitting through 90mins of no shots on goal.

Edoardo was meant to be heading the media side of things:

He's not doing a great job though, calling supporters spa stics then pretending he didn't know what the word meant.
