If what were allowed to happen? Let's assume a Premiership club comes in offering millions to us and wages to Brooks three times as much as our highest paid player...who's going to tell him he can't go?
I'm not sure that elite clubs get carried away on the basis of performances against non-league opposition in pre-season friendlies...
You would happily sell off most of our youngsters nevermind who comes in for them. You didn't want any of our youngsters getting a subsititute appearance last season even when we had clinched the title.
So I doubt you give a shit if we get a tenner or £100 million for the likes of Brooks. It just means one less youngster clogging up the bench.
