Gee SCREAMER !! Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 1 hour ago, Foreveram said: Just heard we offered £200,000 for Lee Gregory, apparently their chairman wanted £260,000 and we said no. The Wednesday chairman then told Gregory that if he wanted to go he would have to pay him the £60,000. Now he’s got to pay his wages till the end of the season. I mentioned when we were in for Smith that it if a player isn't playing, is getting on a bit and has probably a far bit of cash from a few years at a good level, they could help out by foregoing some wage to get the move. Seems that's what's happened here . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnero Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 @Eoghan1884 @Ghost of Clough @Foreveram yes I guess if it's £200k all-in including wage contribution then it makes more sense. I misinterpreted it to mean a £200k fee plus wages on top! Ghost of Clough, Foreveram and Eoghan1884 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramdale Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Did @Big Travever reveal if he heard who the striker Warne referred to in his interview that was all agreed on deadline day only to be pulled by the manager of the club late on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren specifically said the chairman, player, agent had all agreed & the manager pulled the plug on the deal. With Wednesday it was well publicized it was the chairman making the demands we wouldn't agree too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it wasn’t Ennis, not trying to be ITK all of a sudden but as I mentioned briefly on Saturday I met Mr Clowes on the way to the ground and we had a brief conversation. He said it was disappointing that the deal fell through at the last minute and I said was it Ennis, and he said no. Didn’t say who it was though, guess that’s the end of my journalism career 😂 admira, hintonsboots, Kathcairns and 10 others 2 2 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they were planning to loan him out, so something must have happened to change those plans. Ramdale and Foreveram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Sheriff Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Yes I think it was Leonard. I heard we had an agreement day before then hit a snag then agreed for the manager to say no late on? If I heard right that very much links to Leonard as they had an American striker about to sign then it was off deadline day then back on again (only for the manager to say no) Since then it appears Blackburns manager is about to quit with disagreements with hierarchy so with this and the way Warne spoke about about the target seemed like it was a young player. I base this on his terminology he said kid or boy in his RD interview. So yes 2+2=4 it was Leonard 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
