You can tell from all these statements that he talks in very general terms, he gives a few facts about a true story but with no meat on the bones, he then lets the fans imaginations run wild and fill in the gaps however they see fit!! I am sure we did have a club ask about one of our players during the transfer window but nothing came of it, so he holds on to that info until it the club feels its the right time to release it. It truly is great PR at the end of the day!!
Whilst it is brilliant PR, which player did we turn down a bid of several million for in the summer? Several million means at least three million & probably over four million. I would suggest that we didn't.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
