He allways gave 100%Quote:

I get that GB, but to operate like that you surly need a football man on your board otherwise you’re heading for trouble.Quote:

The board probably now realise Colin has pulled their pants down the last few transfer windows and so now as a result of that Harris has nothing to spend.Quote:

Their wage bill was huge compared to ours having spent 7 seasons in the Premier LeagueQuote:

I’d say that is a reasonable fee.
Now if he can take Flint and Pack with him, it would be a great deal.
I suppose it also depends on what wages he is onQuote:

(Most players are better than Pack)
£500,000 for a 25 year old Scottish international with 2 years left on his deal is a poor piece of business. We won't get an equivalent player at that price. For reference, Gavin Whyte was a "steal" at £2mQuote:

Of course its better than terminating his contract, but that still doesn't mean its a good price/deal from the clubQuote:
