Yet another 'done deal' that in the end didn't actually get done. There has been quite a few over the years
There is for every club mate. Happens more than we imagine according to people in the game who speak on podcasts etc.
Got to disagree about that,someone who's blind is probably missing his sight,come out a bit wrong,sounded like a nasty joke lol
Or maybe he's had a reality check and had to settle for less than he thinks he's worth. I'd like to think that's the case.
I’m not sure how money has become an issue with this deal. He’s on £4000 a week at Birmingham. Appreciate we might not want him on that but if we really wanted him, we would have paid it. O’Keeffe is on more. From his point of view, I wouldn’t have taken the cut either. Birmingham’s fault for sticking him on those wages but to be honest, anybody who wanted him would pay those wages as it’s not exactly a ridiculous amount.
Slightly, yeh. He wasn’t on much less at Forest Green before joining us and Rochdale were paying him decent money. Got a good agent.
Regardless he would not have taken a pay cut. He'd be paid up his contract and more than likely a signing on fee. If he then leaves on a free eventually. He may have to take the scraps on offer.
