Milne will see it as a way of reducing his costs and think he'll get someone in cheaper than Mckinnes.....as for his manner of negotiation, he's never held out for any decent payment for a player, so would expect him to cave in quickly if it is on the cards.
Hope he doesn't go to the huns, but if they wave a big enough cheque who knows.... will also hurt us playing them twice in a few days at the end of November. Could easily see us losing those two games against a Mckinnes organised hun team.
