Hope I'm wrong for you, but judging by their emails I wouldn't have much hope.
Hardly inspiring is it.
Hope is all swimmers have, don’t take that away from people when you know yourself how quickly things can change. Look at the conference call information versus what happened a few weeks later. With a new DFO and a big problem of crewing to solve anything could happen. I know it’s ‘easy’ for you to say with all the opportunities you’ve bragged about on here, but some us of have all our eggs in one basket and don’t need people like you cancelling hope.
Whilst you (quote yourself on here) can’t wait to say no to them on the phone spare a though for the people who need to say yes.
