No inside knowledge, but hazarding some guesses based on available info:
a) We clearly fancied our chances, but things change. Maybe an alternative came up.
b) See above. Just because an alternative isn't obvious doesn't mean there isn't one.
c) A few months ago we were the only game in town. Now there's at least one other club interested. Cas would be crazy not to up their asking price. |

| Quote Standee="Standee"If, as we're led to believe, we have been paying "top London lawyers" then I'd imagine we'd be happy to pay a fee, does McRae really think we're that stupid to believe we'd be able to sign Chase, who has recenty signed a 5 year deal, without paying a fee?
I don't want to hear from McRae, I want to hear from AP or Gentle, train driver, not the oil rag!'"
About chases new contract.. His current visa runs out after next season.
So am i right in sayin chase could go home an get paid for nothing as he may not get another visa?? |

no idea, and I am getting past caring anyway, fed up of all the Chase rubbish in all honesty. |

Reading the last few pages you'd think some folk preferred the old regime. Hey ho - how things change. Just a few months ago the club were being lauded for being more open and engaging with the fans. Bet they wish they'd not bothered.

I've never claimed to be nice.
This is a perfect example of a no-win situation. If the club say nothing then people moan about being kept in the dark; if they talk about potential signings then they get moaned at if things don't pan out. Personally I prefer less information and more certainty, but that was how the last lot played it and they were roundly condemned for it. |

Totally agree.
Don't think the Chase affair has been handled very well though.
Hopefully we'll learn lessons. |

A) Quite possibly, but I just don't see why we'd genuinely drop our interest unless we have an alternative as you say, and if we do why we wouldn't announce it at the same time.
B) No, but a replacement of the same quality of Chase? There aren't many and I don't see why any club who have one would be willing to part with them.
C) That's right, and I wasn't saying otherwise. I was saying that I still expect them to be willing for him to go, but for more money. As I said in the part of my post you've snipped out, the reason I don't think it is necessarily dead is because I'm not convinced it's about the visa and I think we may get desperate enough to consider paying up. |
