Quote Robbo4="Robbo4" Arguably more dissapointing than him actually going is the fact the current board couldn't convince him to stay. (if the rumours are to be believed that is)'"
This.
Quote Robbo4="thehullwhitestar"
2) Has Manu failed to buy in to the "vision" of the next couple of seasons that AP and PG have managed to sell to Ellis? Or has he just gone for an increased salary which could only be a nominal amount anyway, given what the club have said about his offer.'"
And this.
Numerous assertions of club loyalty over the years. Family settled with no desire to move. 2 year lucrative deal replaces by a 3 year one to meet his "requests". Old trophyless and deliberately lacklustre regime move out. New focussed, convincing and ambitious board move in, with the willingness, means and desire to make it happen. So why do Manu and Briscoe decide to go now, after the wilderness years just as there's genuine promise? Both loyal to the old lot but not apparently convinced by the new?
I think this is the worrying bit. They, after all, are on the inside.
