Also comes down to how Mauricio thinks that his time at SFC has come up to expectations. Is he excited about preseason...hopeful of getting players he wants etc. And also his personal relationship with Nicola. Hope Nicola just says no to any approach. I remember Gordon Strachan being upset that there was only a luke warm attempt to keep him...he said that he only decided to go when told he could talk to others.
Faulty memories, Fran. Think you mean Alan Ball.
WGS, told Rupert he was going. Rupert tried to keep him.
