On the face of it, what Dingster has done is brought a number of new names to the Sweet FA which benefits all of us. For that he should be applauded. But to start at the Wonders? It beggars belief.
Every single one of us has see the self-promotion of the Wonders throughout season 25. The boasting over the strength of their list. The whining and hissy-fits over certain team-members* not making the All-Sweet FA squad, let alone the actual team.
Cast your mind back to the season 24 off-season. It was blatantly obvious certain clubs were struggling for posters, and partially-annual Sweet FA tour of BigFooty attracted a few new names to the league. A gentleman’s agreement was struck by those in the committee to let struggling clubs have first crack at the fresh meat, a far cry from the free-for-all of previous off seasons.
One could even say certain lists were Royally ****ed.
Coming closer to the present, it was a barely hidden fact that the Wonders leadership was in transition. haydo (bless his 2x All SFA soul) was weighing up options to start again at another club, but chose to stay on at the Wonders. Conceivably not a far stretch to consider that there might be some event that causes him to drift into inactivity, like many before. So the Wonders, in all their powerful list glory enter the current season with the bare minimum player numbers. Sheer arrogance.
And what has happened?
The leadership group is in tatters following haydo’s not-so-shock exit, and a third-party recruiter trying to fill in the numbers. But that’s exactly what these new recruits are, numbers simply for league compliance. Far be it for the Wonders to keep a club legend on the list as a reserve. What a shock to the system it would be to have a poster on field that has an average lower than seven players the Roys have named this week.
What of the numbers? Well sorry KBLT and Beutbrute, your LG are showing you guys are worth less than the 3 or so inactives every club is carrying in a starting field position. Some have mentioned the captain dropping himself as a breath of fresh air, other would put forward the stunt demoting the self-reported second best poster on the list as akin to sniffing one’s own flatulence.
The Captains’ code of the league is dead, killed by the greed and arrogance of the Wonders.
* PVF, you were robbed.
