Them cow's are in the long grass again. There was a time when we could have signed him up but Bates decided to let his contract run so low that he could see that by the end of it we would not be promoted. Why for instance wasn't Howson signed to a new contract when we got promotion? > And 1.5 million over 3 years is 10k a week. I'd guess Howson was on a lot less > than that. With Brown on £15k a week, it's no wonder he wanted to leave. You're also assuming that this alleged player had neither a transfer nor a signing on fee. Which is a hell of an assumption when we got £2m for a crocked midfielder who'd had a 'poor season'. Grayson had lost Howson for £2m and wanted to replace him with a player who would cost £1.5m over the life of his contract. How is that unreasonable or excessive? Not too sure how you can perpetually defend Bates in the face of such downright lies and mistruths. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] PETE CASS (1962 - 2011) Rest In Peace Mate
