If you advocate not saying anything, that includes 'no comment' as this is usually tantamount to an admission. Same goes in USA about 5th amendment.
The problem is when you have been told 'Simon, go and see who you want to have in the team, it's ok we have transfer money'. And then at a press conference you are asked if the chairman has said there is money, what are you gonna say? No comment and everyone thinks no and gets on the clubs back. Of course you are going to say 'the chairman has said there is money available'.
So off you go, see Tommy Grigg is available from Shinfield Utd, have a chat with him, he wants to join as Leeds are a big club, and then what happens?
Young Tommy and his agent start negotiating with Bates, tells them he would like £500 pw. Bates tells him to think again as he is on next to nothing now why should he get 500. Next we know young Tommy is playing for Soton, being payed £10k or and is the best prospect in English football for years.
So the fans have a go at? Yes the manager, and the chairman comes out with, 'we nearly had Grigg but he let us down'...... go figure.
There is no more excuses left,for Bates and Grayson.Nobody is going to believe what either of them say.As a lot of posters on this forum have said,( we have heard it all before).They are both losing credibility.And a no comment was a little bit tounge in cheek type of answer.I am sure that both of them could find something to say that that would sound better than the rubbish they come out with.A simple answer to a Question is,"I don't discuss the clubs or players personal business".Nobody can make you say any more,because it has already been pointed out,you can't discuss your employers business,or individuals business.Niether Bates or Grayson do themselves any credit in public.It's begining to look like both of them are not to be trusted.
Simon Grayson deserves more time
