Quote: Scarlet Pimpernell "Just look back you’ll find it should you wish to do so. I guess you don’t agree that he was not on the restrained list allowing him to find a contract and that the Huddersfield story was just a ploy by his agent which is your usual answer to these questions. I guess you prefer to call me a liar rather than to check your facts first.'"
Ah, now I see where you got it.
I think you've misunderstood the rules.
There is a cut off date for those players not under contract where you need to tell them they are not being offered a contract or that they are still in negotiation but can talk to other clubs.
If we offered Batch a contract he must have been in the second group. If he wanted to test his value in the market he was allowed to do it but it doesn't mean we didn't want him.
