I see that Bates is doing his usual greed players, greedy agents, we won't carry passengers routine and some fans are gulping it down with a spoon. Claiming Clayts wants 15k a week is an obvious lie just so he can sell him and stick the money in the offshore accounts. "As my last retweet didn't seem to make sense to many of you... I DIDN'T ask for 15k a week. Long day over good round with @marcjeffreys1 ." Adam Clayton ‏ @Clayts15 And then Clayts retweeted this "Those of you condemning @Clayts15 as the greedy £15k demanding player should look a little closer to home. It's Brad Johnson all over again." LeedsOnTour⢠‏ @LeedsOnTour (retweeted by Adam Clayton). Bates must actually think we're morons who are willing to believe his propaganda. Is Snoddy really going to sign a new contract with this kind of crap going on? Because i tell you what im a die hard Whites fan but I certainly wouldn't play for this club if it was my career in the hands of Bates and co.
It might not have been 15k p/w, but I find it impossible to believe that Warnock wasn't present at negotiations, or didn't have some sort of contact with both Bates/Harvey and Clayton over his deal. As far as I see, Warnock didn't think he's worth what he asked for. If Warnock really wanted to keep him, and thought he was worth what he asked for, he would've made sure Bates gave him a new contract, or he'd walk, simple as that. Obviously if we find out he's gone tomorrow morning then I'll look like an idiot
I can't believe anybody who supports Leeds United actually believes Clayton is up for sale because he wants £15k a week, especially with the history of bullshit the Leeds United board have had for many years.
