I would imagine the answers may comprise 1 We do pay competative wages though we cant compete with clubs with significantly higher revenues 2 It might be going on gray / hammill / an other / see above 3 probably though we are aiming higher. I'll try to get the gist of the answers though.
I doubt its that simple It may be a wage issue in that Blackpool offered him more than we think he is worth - in which case good luck to him, but we have shown that we can pay good enough wages for decent players - eg Andersson Steele etc so I would be surprised if it was as simple as we cant afford him.
