To me, just seems players like to use the 'home sick' or 'not settling' as an excuse to get out of contracts. If you let one do it, the next player that signs , then here's that a 'bigger club's want him or just doesn't want to be at the club for whatever reason, they can use the same excuse.

That's the reason I'd say, dont let him just walk away. Lay down a example.

Any actual rumours of who were looking at now lam is confirmed to be a waste of time

You'd like to think there is still money within the cap to bring in more players even if we don't lose anyone. Some reported big earners going and we surely can't be paying the likes of briscoe, chamberlain, hardaker and burough much. Plus 3 are supposedly marquee

All presumably in the top 25 earners. If those coming in are costing as much as those leaving we're back to square one with value for money within the cap

you cannot have been at full cap including that lot adamski is telling porkies

unfortunately I think we were. Not only was the recruitment utter rubbish, they were handing out ridiculous value contracts left, right and centre

Personally I reckon it's a bit of both. Definitely been some poor choices made with contracts but AP's statements over the years leave a lot to be desired so I take everything he says now with a heavy dose of scepticism. When he did the interview on Humberside and was quite bullish about us spending full cap, I thought it might be true at the time as it was what he was most passionate about. As the season has gone on though I can't help but think it was more anger that Sky caught him out in a lie when they published that salary cap table.

We'll never really know one way or the other though.
