God knows. It's not like we're an aerospace company operating under secrecy laws, although we often act like it - and under pretty tenuous guises too. Players and managers are all on the Whatsapp chats so if rivals want to know about Roberts, they'll find out easily enough. Us mugs are just left wondering, like last year when players vanished and no-one knew where they were. The club's attitude towards fans wanting basic answers to simple questions often stinks, and even the manager can only be arsed to do one in every three interviews, like communicating with us is beneath him. They've even reigned in their attempts at social media content this year, I notice. Now it's just the odd training video.
I know I keep banging on about this but in the old days if the club didn't want to tell us then someone would ring the manager up and ask. But the death of local media has largely put paid to that - if Rob Makepeace doesn't ask in his Thursday interview (as he repeatedly failed to do last year with the missing players, possibly because he'd been warned not to ask) then we don't get to find out.
As it is, the Boston Standard now just regurgitates the match reports and interviews off the official website and does picture galleries based on inaccurate Wikipedia information for clicks. Pitiful.
