Quote: Dita's Slot Meter "Why are they pathetic?.... Higham bailed out on a contract, having his head turned illegally by Leigh (Remember, you can negotiate for next season, but not for the present season unless you have the permission of the player's present club), so Smith is well within his rights to question the player's conduct .
For those who will undoubtedly question me suggesting it was good old fashioned poaching, do you really think 50 grand for a player in his mid 30's is good value, or do you actually think the excessive fee is probably a sweetener to Wire to stop this rumbling on and ending up in a court?'"
I don't suppose wire wanted to pay Micky much as he is 34 and, they have had fantastic value out him and 'old' players, should, be getting less! As you say, £50.000 is a lot for a 34 year old, tell me, just how much is 34 year old Kurt Gidley receiving to come to Wire next season? ill bet its more than £50 grand
The record books will show who gave Wire the best value for money service, Higham or, Gidley! I know who my moneys on
