I thought it was in the public domain that he spoke to Sevco, by inference, Sevco must've met the amount after Milne's initial rebuttal.
Ach, I forgave Fergie for thinking about going to Wolves ( it was Wolves wasn't it?) so I will cut McInnes some slack now.
My guess would be that he would have went if
1/ They hadn't taken so long about it.
2/He thought that all the board were in favour of employing him
3/ They had just come up with the money ( I'm convinced they tried to get him to walk out on us)
A warchest would have been nice too but I think it was number 3 that tipped the scales.
For SM to announce that he was "the happiest man in the world" after he announcement was made, suggests to me that he wasn't standing in DM's way.
