I think there was a agreement last year he could leave this year if we failed to get into Europe. It’s why I won’t believe the “this came out of blue” stuff that will likely start to be pushed should the lad leave in the next few days. They will have been aware of clubs watching him as will his representatives and Brands and the manager is likely to have been told during his interviews for the jobs.
Should it go through , It’s more or less the same stuff from years gone by. from a fans perspective.
“ wait until the window closes before moaning”
Window closes , some fans upset
“ stop moaning. just get behind the team “
It’s cynical , highly , that’s what happens more often than not from past experience.
