It's not so much the money, you cannot blame anyone for earning more money. The manner of the exit and the sulk for large parts of his time at Notts this season is the main gripe I have.Quote:

I think in fairness he hasn?t sulked on the pitch his numbers since he has been here are incredible for us I know they aren?t for MK Dons but that is not anything I?m bothered about.Quote:

He might not be good enough to play much higher than mid table in league one and nobody below that level can pay him what MK are and I believe he was on a good wage here too around ?3k a week.
When all is said and done if we got 400k we have to accept that offer that is insane when he only has 6 months left on his contract.
Think we need to see where we finish to decide if it was a good decision or not. I'm not bothered if he was liked by colleagues - it's not a given but a bonus to get on with all your colleagues.Quote:

I would too as stated but we are still servicing debts so we have no choice but to take the deal.Quote:

It most certainly is. Making a considerable profit in the transfer market.Quote:

DC is a great player of which theres no doubt. He did us favour in the end in my view.he could have sat tight ran his contract down and disappeared into the distance with notts worse off getting no cash for him why he filled his pockets with extra cash from the none transfer fees involved. He did ok we did ok.
And so do you. It's not costing the Bros to "service the debt". They don't owe anything to anyone, the milkman has been paid and so have HMRC. It's not like a bank loan or the National Debt which is costing an arm and a leg to service with interest. So why bring it up, it is not a noose around their necks?Quote:

400k with 6 months on his contract is great business for the club that is my point.
