You're reading my post wrong.

In the past Burnsy (or someone from RH, cant be arsed to check) said the story from the club - not Bruce, I never mentioned Bruce - was that Boro had offered a financial package that we wouldnt / couldnt match yet the fact that we've nobody lined-up for a month also suggests we didnt want him to go. Now as we're a Premier League club with income - I'm guessing - probably 5 times that of Boro I was suggesting that this is hard to believe. Sorry for being completely logical about it.

Now if the club spokesperson - NOT BRUCE, I NEVER SAID HIM OR IMPLIED HE LIED - had said to Burnsy (or whoever) that it was the security of contract length that was the carrot then it wouldve made complete ****ing sense.

The story was based entirely on Bruce's comments...

"Let me put this straight to you all," he said. "Steve Agnew came to see me last Friday and he'd had an unbelievable offer to go back there. I gave him the weekend to think about it and believe me, because it was such a wonderful offer I couldn't stand in his way.

"Financially and security wise, they blew what we were paying him out of the water.

"Steve Gibson (Middlesbrough owner) obviously thinks a lot of him, like I do.

"Sometimes you have to shake him by the hand and say 'Well done, Steve, thanks for your help.' He's got nothing but my best wishes.

"I didn't want it to happen, I assure you of that, but I couldn't stand in his road.

"I joked to him 'Any chance of getting a contract like that for me?' The world we live in in football, how could I deny a top lad that chance. That's the truth.

"I hear all these conspiracy theories but he's gone with my best wishes."

The bloke in the car is in a left hand drive car so I presume (by the looks of him) that he's in the USA.
We are about 16 hours in front of the USA.
We also have 9 different time zones compared to the USA's 13 different time zones.
It was 100 degree's here today and the 'coldies' taste beautiful.

Just FYI, that is Ice Cube, the renowned Actor and Rapper from the USA. I recently watched "Ride Along" in which he stars alongside Kevin Hart.

I've got to say, it was a good day.

He was also in NWA whilst a rapper.

So yeah, he's in the USA in that photo.
