In the video below, at the 4-minute, 43-second mark of the Fletcher press conference, Peddie unmistakably begins mouthing along with Fletcher as he reads his statement. Cliff says: “I’d like to thank Richard and the board for making me…” and then Peddie’s lips start moving. Peddie looks away from Fletcher, then turns his attention back to him at the 5:09 mark of the video. And, again, he begins mouthing the words Fletcher is speaking…. “move the club ahead to the next level so it can compete with all the top teams in the league, so it can eventually lead to playoff success.”
Did MSLE write Fletcher's remarks. Is Peddie still pulling the strings? It makes you wonder. Until Peddie is completely out of the picture I wonder how much will change for the better.
UPDATE: It has been reported that the media approached Peddie regarding his strange behaviour at the press conference. He claims it is a nervous habit that he has. I prefer when his lips move and nothing comes out over when he actually says something.
