He got greedy, came back and begged, and was told to fook off.

What has he gained by going to Rovers??

Paying players above their capabilities will bite you in the arris as it has us over the last few years.

International honours i'd say

Systems in place??

Can you elaborate?

Do you mean not paying over the odds, on a lengthy deal, limiting you going forward?

I'd imagine that having Senior, Coady, Watkins and Delaney signed up means they don't need him. Much the same with Ashley Gibson, simply not room under the salary cap or he's elected to take a two year deal with us as opposed to a one year deal with them

This is similar to fox,murrell and scruton where we had a good squad and that's taken into account when new deals are negotiated.
Sometimes players accept the terms and stay to fight for a spot and on other occasions they accept the better offer and leave it's that straight forward and although like i said before i'd of liked him to stay and it could bite us GH has been very successfull in running the club this way.

or even more plausible, cover for chev who is likely to be out all next season

Do you see Chev being offered a new deal?

If he was to be paid off, which is a possibility, I should imagine the pay off and Ratu's wages won't be too far off....which in fairness is probably good business as at least you get a player on the pitch for the same money.

If paying both.............

they can also just de register him and then give him a 1yr contract if he makes it back to prove himself worthy of another contract

How does the de-registering work??....would that make Chev a free agent??

yes. but i would feel that they may negotiate some form of informal agreement for him to see his last year out, hence the 1 yr option when back from injury
