    I take no pleasure from watching our best players leave, but I also am realistic enough to see where we sit in terms of being able to offer wages etc.

    But it's quote like this
    and "Happy Clappers"

    which are divisive.

    I'd prefer to wait until the transfer window has closed before I start getting myself upset about things.

    What am I saying is, regardless of where you stand on the debate, you must understand and appreciate why people are concerned. I am not saying people are thick if they are not concerned and I mean you generally, not you specifically.

    How? I see two opposing view points, both of which are true in their own way. I'm somewhere in the middle on the subject, so can understand both. I don't see that your comments caused a massive backlash, or any evidence that everybody apart from a few brave souls who dare to speak their minds are of the same opinion about everything.

    It's just a bit of handbags between two people with very forthright opinions. Happens in every thread, on every subject.
