The person who told me has no connections with the club other than being a fan who had just been to the club to renew his season ticket and it was something he'd heard whilst in the box office. Therefore its just another rumour. Just that.
#duntgiveashit just passing on something that I'd heard whilst at the same time acknowledging there's probably nothing in it.
True or not, it wouldn't surprise me. Rolls Royce on expensive petrol remember. Gutted if he leaves but credit to the club for not being held to ransom.
I'd be quite surprised If any of the original contracts on offer to the players are signed. There's usually a bit of give and take from both parties before pen's put to paper.
