    true but there are other sources to know what the ball park figures are!

    you didn’t need to add any more. The rest was just speculation, we could equally speculate he wouldn’t sign because they indeed did withdraw their initial offer.

    So in other words you made it up. Bit like Benarous, why would we consider a new contract he’s been injured for two and half years.

    as per usual you have the wrong end of the stick .

    Benarous signed a deal for x number of years at an agreed salary .. if he had only signed for 1 or 2 then he would be out of contract and still unable to play! Never said a new contract for Benarous we are talking about TC AND HIS NOT SIGNING

    It was not speculation just comments. The last sentence is correct without the name and £ amounts!

    Regardless if I got it wrong and reading it back I can see I did. See owning up to mistakes.
    You tried making out you knew what TC was offered. When like me you had no idea. You may say you looked at accounts but it doesn’t say what he was offered. Tinnion even said he was offered a big increase in his salary.
    One thing you get correct is he probably listened to much to his agent. Step forward Danny Coles.
    I don’t doubt you’re an intelligent man, but you let yourself down by not listening to someone else’s view. Like your debates with Ashton.
    So are you going to own up to making something up?

    maybe should have added "TIC" TO THE FOLLOWING COMMENT............

    .................. I dont have clue to what he was offered above is a TIC surmiseing of a scenario that might be likely [ based on knowing the details of a former instance that I was privy to ]

    I dont for 1 minute belief the published figures for players salaries by various "sporting reporters, especially after having 1 instance pointed out and how wrong that was!

    IF you have a player that is far better than those around him and especially if you have bought 1 in on a fee and pay £x pw as a wage then seems wrong [ to me not right ] to offer him a deal that fell short, without rechecking I think BT said .... HIGHEST CONRACT EVER FOR A PLAYER OF HIS "INSTANCE" .... which would imply his age and experience???

    whether we make top 6 or not this season our squad is getting quite well toward gelling. Mehetmi is starting to flourish and if he continues to will go up in value and in danger then of running his contract down. we have made good money in the past because players we have sold still had contracts probably 8 players of present squad should be on at least 3 plus 1 contracts when this season ends!

    We bumped into a couple of (very) drunk Brentford fans last night - they had been to the darts and were on their way back from Ally Pally. We talked a bit about football and they remarked about City ‘You are always around 11th in the league. It takes a special skill to end up in the same position every season!!’
    Annoying, but true. Even Brentford fans know us !!

    Great through ball by Matty James to help Wrexham go 1-0 up at the Gas

    Now 4-1.
    Maybe their 3 goals against us weren’t a fluke.

    4 GOALS FROM LANG needs to be careful or he could find himself top the championship goalscorers after 90 minutes........!

    It wasn’t a fluke they beat us. They wanted it more and put us to the sword, you have to give credit where it’s due.

    Pompey look really hungry.
    They’ve really ‘clicked’.

    ‘Fluke’ was the wrong word. I should have said ‘one-off’.
