off to Aus in 2 then.

No you are getting confused. Fans of other clubs were questioning how Warrington could spend so much money yet be so terrible.

I cannot answer for the dental condition of Mike Rush’s mouth, perhaps a breeze fortunately took any odour the other way, that evening at MCFC watching Coldplay at the time it was said.

And ‘yes’, we all know he absolutely turned down a testimonial, which I reckon would have been the most lucrative in Wire history.
That to me sends waves of proof it wasn’t about money.
Saints offering him a salary that would beat the combined total of the testimonial and a Wire contract, I think you are on another planet with that idea.

So no official quote then?
My query however was it as suggested a 3 year deal by Saints v 2 from Wire? Even then I can’t see us having offered him silly money.

The signing of Clark by Saints was announced before the departure of Powell, presumably Clark's decision to leave was made well before Powell's departure was set in stone. I can only imagine what the mood in camp was back then, maybe the player had just 'had enough'?

I’m on a rumour thread, and back then, there’ was no official announcement Clark was leaving.
The posts and paper talk long after were all about trying to keep Clark yet it was done before Rushy told us.
Rushy said on my life, and that still isn’t official, that Saints cannot match Warrington’s contract offer, now that doesn’t mean between Coldplay and September, they hadn’t improved the deal?

Soon after that chat Saints flashed a tease up on the official website about signing Clark and pulled it after a few mins, just to lift the spirits of agitated Saints fans following a string of defeats.

Oh, and regarding Mikaele, Wire could not offer him a deal because Kasiano would not leave.

Wire would have arranged a nanny to help with his wife and new born too.

So that’s why Mikaele got signed up last week.

I’m always wary of trying to interpret your posts so I would really appreciate clarification.
Are you saying Mike Rush CEO of Saints told you personally about their contact with Clark? If not, what are you saying?

Is he not capable of finding one himself?

Salary cap loophole?

It was said directly out of CEO Mike Rush’s mouth at Coldplay at MCFC. word for word.

To you, or in your presence or recorded and played to you? don’t be shy.

Abe, does Mike Rush even like Coldplay?

Could just as well ask the Duck as apparently they have the same source…stands back and awaits mayhem.

Close, but no Cigar. A Nanny was never offered. But a larger house and flights were offered for his mother-in-law to move over & other relatives to visit.

NO WE DON'T

Who I speak to had never heard of Duckie until I mentioned him. They now of course know of him and his posting history. Let's leave it there.
