CW made a sham effort to replace Souttar by rejecting other candidates and waiting till the end of the window before signing Holding (whom he knew was not match-fit) and hardly playing him ,
So that he could keep his mate Robbo in the team (bollox to promotion)
And thus trigger his option over the club for an extension to his 1-year contract.
A 1-year contract that everyone felt was to be Robbo's swansong on our bench.
Who ever heard of an aging , mistake-prone player - who was so poor that he was only worth a 1-year contract the previous summer - having an OPTION OVER THE CLUB for an extension ?
It's truly bizarre.
In fact it STINKS of corruption.
It was the last straw which broke my faith in CW.
And the Board must have been equally unimpressed when they realised what had happened.
Who knew that Robbo had such an option ?
And I guess it was CW's mate Bettis who sanctioned the terms of that contract the previous summer.
Now tell me we don't need a proper Director of Football.
So, let me understand what you're saying here.
Chris Wilder deliberately fucked up our chances of promotion so that Jack Robinson could trigger a contract extension?
Seriously?
