Not surprised. £150k is a rip off.

Would be the fourth time in a year that we agreed with a player and told them a done deal, only to fail to do the business with the club. Not professional in my opinion.

However, having being out of the country a week, I have come back and heard similar to you. However, heard the change in position is because Burgess is a definite, and will be announced after World Cup.

I must not have been paying attention, who were the others?

So basically you're saying that blowing £150k plus maybe another £110k p/a wages on Westerman when Burgess allegedly and suddenly became available would have been the more professional approach? Riiiight....

As with the Burgess signing, I'm staying in the "I'll believe it when I see it" camp. As indeed Brierley should if he's yet to put pen to paper.

So wire offer more money than us but it's us that have pulled out of a done deal!, how does that work.

I completely trust in GH and Mac to bring in the right players and make the right business decisions.
