    if we dont want to pay premier league wages we wont get premier lesgue players. We could have kept Gray if we matched watfords offer but thats not how this club works. Watford a hardly a bigger club than us so he only went for the money. He probably thought i wont win anythig with either club so might as well get paid as much as he can. Not many clubs would pay £18m for 9 goals in the PL so he will be off in a year or 2 or another 6 managers.

    We could not force him to extend his contract. We took the only sensible option and smashed £18.5 million into the bank. He's gone, get over it!

    Agree it was justified but Minus Brentford's sell on though estimated at £1.9M - a big Brucie bonus for them. (Still one for us too)

    Is Scotty likely to leave, picking up the earlier comment? It was mentioned earlier on if the memory cell is working!
