1. My account of Commons being offered EVERYTHING he had asked for PLUS an extra year on top of his original demand comes straight from Nigel Clough in 2011 rather than Commons 6 years later. My account has been verified by at least one other poster in this thread. Commons simply didn't sign a contract offering everything he had asked for plus an extra year. In the end, it comes down to which of the 2 you believe. I side with Nigel. You side with Commons. Commons had, from October 2010, repeatedly said he wanted to sign the new contract. He was offered all he had asked for and more but still didn't sign it. Something he had done 3 years before when the Red Dogs agreed to all of his demands and put a contract on the table. He didn't sign that one either and came to us.

2. £3M to £4M for a sicknote with less than 6 months left on his contract? We will have to agree to differ on that too.
