Nonsense. You don't know that. You may have spoken to Benali or people who know him well but they are clearly biased and nothing in the public domain supports what you say.
Having spoken to franny and knowing what sort of person he is I have come to the conclusion that the club (cortese) have been unreasonable over this. Can you say the same?
The fact is that as with the last case, the club drew it out for as long as possible and then settled at the last minute. If the Adkins case has not already been settled then I suspect we may see a similar outcome there too.
I have always been out but under the right circumstances. I have calmed down somewhat over the Adkins affair but still feel it was handled wrongly and would not like to see a repeat of it in the future. Not the decision itself necessarily but how it was handled.
No he thinks saying they have far far more pace than us is an exagerration. He would probably be happy if you just said far more pace, it was the double far that caused the problem.
