Inspector SB "George" Gently has been looking at this and based on no evidence or source whatsoever he thinks the following--
Hecky sez to board he wants Omar Bogie at £900,000
French CEO sez to resta board we should buy this Sengalese lad at £900,000
Patrick sez we can't ev booath
French CEO lets Bogie deal go quiet and chases Sengalese lad
Hecky narked at people who think they know better than him abart which players the club should sign and lets it art in a thinly veiled manner.
This theory has every chance of being a loada b0ll0cks but tha nivva knows.
