    You then look at those wages ?5-6k a week over 2.5 years thats about ?700k.

    As a league two player at his age you are not turning that amount of money down.

    The media exit interview didnt come over well but players arent known for their brains !
    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.

    He's clearly a very good player but with an attitude problem which has cost him his chance to play higher than league 2.

    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.

    Grant / Edward?s seem good pros and work hard but Crowley walks into our side and we are immensely stronger too.

    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.

    I'd rather have a surly Crowley than a top professional Edwards in the XI any day of the week.

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

    Anyone in football who wants out generally gets moved on at any club.

    He was a good player for us cost us nothing and we get a good fee that is the model and it is clearly working.

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

    Legs77?s nails it, great post

    You keep bringing this up but whilst the debt from Munto is still around yes the brothers are servicing it as such but they will want to trim it by being smart they aren’t paying it off out the goodness of their hearts.

    That is what I mean and it is what is happening they said this from day one when they walked through the door.

    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?

    We owe ?10m or so still SOMEBODY has to pay it or maintain it.

    I didnt say ever its a noose around their necks but anyone in business who is smart reduces costs and in football selling a few assets helps us.

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