Robbo and Maguire for starters, they were both left with little of their contracted time left with us, which meant negotiating the 'full up' price was impossible.
At what point do you think we should’ve negotiated? Was it when we knew we had 2 (1+1) years of their deals left and had 10 players and the manager had just left leaving his assistant in charge? Cos they defo would’ve signed long term deals then. And both had a full season left on their deals when we sold them. We weren’t forced to sell, they simply accepted those bids.

Fair play Bummers, I guess it all comes down to the way that massive & bellend have treated everyone within the club for the last few years, and it all really started with the clear animosity between Steve Bruce and bellend, that really was the beginning of the end. Either way bellend is responsible for the club not being able to maximise its income during a golden era for the club due to his blatant arrogance and stupidity.
When Ehab says things like I'm open to changing the branding of the club but my staff need to be able to understand it - that tells you all you need to know. It's incredible how much damage he has done to the brand. Tigers has become a word that now annoys many fans because of how he uses it.
Before anyone asks, there will be a joint statement made and the minutes will be published tomorrow. No details have been given to me. Just a message who was conducting the meeting and the above.
