When you say ‘this type of situation’ what are you referring to?
Baz’s reporting was obviously slightly ahead of where things where but the club had confidence it was done and he reported what he was told.
By most accounts we were paying a fee that a parachute payment club, albeit one in a bit of ****, matched and we still bettered their offer in terms of wages and length of contract. We were beat largely due to something totally out of our hands.
These things are going to happen. We’re not fishing in the pond that brought us Eaves and the like, we’re fishing in a much busier pond with big players involved too. We’re going to miss out on more publicly and I’m sure we’re missing out on them privately. But the fact we’re even trying is something we should relish, not bed wet about.
