Would Wilson, or almost anyone else for that matter really admit that their tweets are directed towards the FO during contract negotiations? Honestly, I do not think you can take anything he, or his agent say seriously at this moment regarding contract negotiations.
Except for his tweets. His tweets we must take seriously.
You really cannot believe anything our FO, or much of what the media says at this point. I think everybody is shooting in the dark here. The one thing that I have taken from this entire situation is that both sides are still are not close to coming to an agreement, and that Wilson, and his agent are perfectly content with just waiting this out -- which I believe is not a bad course of action, though is a bit of a risk. Even in that inference I made there is still some reading beyond the lines, if anything that could have just been a leverage directed towards the FO.
As far as the tweets go, I just think they were just a very bad decision on Wilson's part, given that they came after various reports of both sides not being close. Now, he could have been talking about the negotiations, but he could have just as easily been taking about something else.
I just think during negotiations such as these, anything from all parties should be taken with a heaping grain of salt. Both sides are trying to win the PR battle. Especially since this situation has been followed by the media so closely. Just because Wilson, or is agent come out and say something, doesn't necessarily mean that it is true. Both sides are playing politics right now.
