Should have kept him,could have been the difference between being in a higher league next season.
Is agree that he is worth more but what good is that if no one is willing to pay more?

You could argue that we should have kept him rather than for the 1.5 but that is risky for a club on our budget. Complete loss of form, injury or both could leave you with nothing in just 8 months time, whereas the admit that 1.5 releases for replacement could do a lot of damage with good recruitment eyes. I think that this astute recruitment /selling /recruitment, with the right staff team is the way forward to keep our business solid and reasonably successful in the leagues for the time being at least
