Holloway has always had a grudge against our club. WOuldn't surprise me at all if he is making this fuss just because it is us. A very petty and unlikable man.
Why be confrontational? I'm genuinely surprised that someone considers our goal-scoring ability more of a problem than our defence. Did you go to games last year?
Ward was apparently on his way to sign a deal when he found out. According to Pat who has contacts within football he had made arrangements to move here. Getting a deal to that point and then pulling out doesn't strike me as typical behaviour that every club engages in.
Why would Chanrai give the Trust the club now, when he can bleed them for a few more years and then give them what is left (and even rent them the ground for a good few years for even more profit!)
It's the getting so far down the line with players and then pulling out (Ward and Gorkss to name two) that seems a bit distasteful. No evidence of that in this window so far admittedly although we don't know the entire story with Buttner.
