Well like it or lump it I am, but I'm just not wearing red and white specs constantly
You can't have it both ways
Either a higher placed club has the advantage or they don't. All players throw a strop until they get their move to a higher placed club or they don't.
I'm firmly of the belief that they don't, but our directors don't think this and it has been proven before, numerous times with their pathetic excuses. Selling a player is one thing, but treating people like they're a bunch of fucking idiots with their "You can't keep a player once a higher placed club comes in for him" is another.
Now the boot is on the other foot, so I am expecting us to make miserly offers for players and create problems thus getting them for practically nothing.
