Don't be ridiculous Silent Blade
We don't keep players when someone else wants em.
It's not the "Blades way".
Guess I should have added aSilent Blade is right, MH. As I understood it at the time it had all been provisionally agreed and TC was quite keen on the move, but the board told him a load of bollocks about building a team around him to challenge at the top so he decided to stay. He believed that until we sold Geoff Salmons, at that point he was livid and put in a transfer request. I think it played a big part in that relegation season, which surprised so many given we'd been so close to being champions or qualifying for Europe the previous season. Check out pics of TC in that 75-6 season, he looks to be carrying a bit extra and didn't perform consistently at all.

Being in this god forsaken league for so long has diluted my 'hatred' of other teams a fair bit.
There's no one in this league I care about, other than those challenging us at the top, and should Gareth Ainsworth still be managing anyone in this league.
Should we make it back up, it used to be Leeds, Forest and possibly Barnsley due to how bitter they are.
I remember my dad writing to me when I was at school in Sept 1974 that he had a conversation with TC at a supporters club function. My dad said that TC wasnt happy with what is happening at the club and it seemed he was going to hand in a transfer request. I do not remember if the papers reported about the transfer request. Yes, it does look like he was unhappy with the sale of Geoff Salmons who was one of our key players at the time and was (and probably still is) a good friend of TC As you said, the team did much better in the league than expected so it did appear he had second thoughts about requesting for a transfer.Silent Blade is right, MH.
