Quote: TRB "If your going to go down this route - at least get some facts right!
Brough was offered in the region of £150k pa - from 2011 on. He preferred cash there and then. If we had kept him he would have walked for nothing - perhaps the club should have done that, but the feeling was that it was a good deal for the club at the time.
Cooke is on no where near £90k - FACT. I've already stated that once.
Tronc was playing like a pussy for the last 6 weeks he was here. I wouldn't have wanted him any longer personally. Eastwood is in another league to Tronc - and there is still no guarantee that Leeds will get anything for him. Tronc and his wife refused to mix with the rest of the players and WAGs - hence them being unsettled.
Come on - old stuff. The club are planning for next year, not this!'"
As you will probaly know TRB Brough needed money as he was bankrupt, and Mr Davy bailed him out, Brough was offered a king's rasom to stay, even land. Tronc was not happy after Wakey mucked up his Aussie bank account payments, and TBH if his wife could not settle he would never have been happy and i can understand why his heart was not in it, been in a similar situation myself in the forces so it was probaly the best decision all round, as for Cooke not sure how much he is on but in my opinion it is too much, and hope we let him go and go for a young english 6/7, someone like Cain Southernwood
OOPPS that's another story
