Ledley came to us on a Bosman, so he pocketed a fair amount of dosh en route to Celtic Park.
If he wanted to sign, then he would have. Instead I think he would have tried to work a flanker, showing interest in staying until the transfer window shut, then quelle surprise!! he signs a pre-contract agreement with Palace - and more dosh en route to SE25.
Well done to the board for getting something from him
As far as whinging about the board is concerned, like a few of you, I put up with Fergus McCann skimping and scraping when we were getting financially bitch slapped. I complained but in the end, I was shown to be wrong. We now have a club that has a solid financial base. That base is there now in large part to the outstanding work of Peter Lawwell and he is laying the groundwork for the next decade & beyond. The board won't get everything right, but when it comes to the future of our club, I'd back them every day of the week.
