I said the same when Ellis left. Would rather have seen him play out the last year of his contract than cash in on him. Same goes for Brough think he is worth more to the team than whatever is being offered. (not that I know what's being offered, if indeed there is an offer!)

By letting him go now we get £x, how much may we lose in league position money at end of season if we finish lower than we should? Hypathetical I know but at the end of the season, when it's all totted up, would it be a mistake????

bloody hell we giving him away now??

What happens if it has gone way out of our control ? remember Shudds are also involved in this and I bet they have been chipping away at him for months. If he still wants to play and give 100% its a no brainer we should do all we can to keep him. If Shudds want to take him now and also conviced DB its best for him to go ,then he may as well go. Just remember what they did to Griffin, they got to him before the season started and look how he turned out.

For me, if he wants out much better to let it happen and hope it works out for everyone.

Yes it would, a massive mistake.

Do you agree though that for Wakey to let one of their key players go now there has to be a really good deal offered from our perspective. We are unlikely to be able to replace Brough before the end of the season and perhaps you are breaking your rule of no transfer fees to force our hand.

I don't buy into we need the money, we have just saved a fair wedge on Newton's wage and if we needed the money we would just keep that and not bother trying to sign Cooke.

I have no idea on names at all - except that they are not any of those allegedly involved in any incidents! I have heard that we gave a list of 5 players that we would be interested in - and that's as far as the trail goes.

You may not pay cash, but there may be some 'under-writing' of contracts - which amounts to a similar thing, and it keeps your policy intact.

Interesting few days ahead - shame it didn't all happen in the close-season!

Then presumabley you aren't getting danny, well this season anyway??
To be honest Robinson ran him ragged so why you want him I don't know?!?!?

ok but we wont be letting him go for nowt and it would have to be to our benfit or we would say no.

Thats why I put that post on, its so difficult to choose the best option. This thing with Brough and Hudds has been going on far too long for there not to be something in it. For me Brough is one of those that has a plaster for every sore, it seems that whatever you offer him there will be something else that doesnt suit him. But back to the big question though, do you let him go or do you make him stay, just glad its not my call. So long as it works out for us I'm not fussed either way.

Your not wrong there, Even when he was at Salford he always saved his best game for us.

Tell you what Wadders old boy, If Broughy does go to your place there will be plenty on your board who have sworn blind that there is no way Brough is going there left with egg on there face
