It's what happened at the time. No other teams were in for him with £7m. No other teams were in for him without expecting us to contribute to his wages. It was not his decision to go. The club sold him. He was entitled to a loyalty bonus, which he waived. Do you seriously expect professional sportsmen to play for nothing? Would you do your job for nothing in order to save your employer? Dreamland. In a message dated 17/12/2013 13:36:16 GMT Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
Where is this info from? Lorimer? Same guy who said Howson had to go, Grayson had to go etc etc. I just don't buy it - sorry but other teams were in for him. The ship was sunk anyway and if he was such a hero he would have deferred wages.

I see opinion and statements from people with an interest - I don't see objective facts. The only objective fact is we went down and he decided to sign for them. Our fans were already at a low ebb and definitely did not need that. You think he saved the club? Proposterous. _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] John 'Grampa' Sykes Rest In Peace old lad 28th Oct 1938 - 12 Nov 2013 MARCHING ON TOGETHER
