Taking your delightful critique one step further........given McCabe's lead, we might just as well as have thrown in the towel in World War 2 and told Adolf that we were a spineless bunch of cunts who were so fearful of his intentions that we'll behave as long as he only kills the Jews, leaving us Gentiles to get on with our lives, whatever worthless existence that might have brought.....
It's the sheer transparency of Kev's comments that are breathtaking in their spinelessness. No sense of, "We'll be inventive, we'll try to ensure that we, the directors, back our manager and attempt to build something special", oh no, none of that bullish nonsense for Kev, let's just lift up our skirt and invite the carpetbaggers to take whatever they want and let them decide what tip to leave. Not once, in recent times, do I recall us issuing a statement that proclaims our intent to keep a player simply because they wish to leave. Now, that may have been the inevitable outcome, but since when did we show the sort of savvy business acumen that would add more pounds to a player's value? Can anyone recall when we attempted to test the resolve of a purchasing club in our attempts to make hay from such a situation?
No, we just roll over, and because our owner says it's pointless to do otherwise we are revealed as a club who cannot do what other club's successfully do with their want-away players. Jesus Kev, are you completely clueless about this game? Aren't you aware of the money that's sloshing about in football currently? Has it crossed your mind that in owning a club you are expected to fight tooth and nail on it's behalf? The statement you issued is disgraceful in it's lack of backbone.
