It's probably as much the fault of loose lips at Rovers and In The Know's. May all have been speculation but gave an opportunity for City (or anyone else) to take a punt. The worst case for them was it wasn't the figure. The only thing I go back to is literally no one else took a gamble on him for whatever reason after another half season of goals We have nothing to win here and can probably make ourselves look as daft as we have ever been in some respect pursuing it.

It does seem strange no one else took a punt on him if the release clause was as low as 300k. He has consistently scored for 3 seasons at 3 increasing levels. Why would you not risk that? Even for 500k that is an absolute bargain. If he doesn't score a single goal for them it was still a gamble worth taking.

I still cannot quite believe how low the release clause was, if it indeed it was 300k. Over a barrel or not, 300k is peanuts in this day and age, and we should've demanded it was set at 750k at least, surely! He wasn't our player in the summer and I no doubt believe Taylor and his agnet would have held out on signing for anyone had we not agreed

Has he broken any rules though? I agree he plays the voice of reason but certainly likes a subtle dig. He's not a Bristol Rovers fan? Or even worse He's a red? P.S if you go on OTIB you will find him under the username "Super" and see what a knob he is. Ah. I take your point re your second line.

Lower the fee, higher the wages. He's known this would happen since the summer. It was a total stitch up by MT and his agent. At the time everyone was pleased he stayed, but with hindsight...

Absolutely no way to prove it was his agent that let slip the £300k figure.
Assuming this is a ploy by the club to let the fans know what has gone on.

He is of course bias but he hasn't broken any forum rules and I can't ever remember him fanning flames or being deliberately abusive or confrontational. There are Gasheads on here who abuse other posters, our players, owners and staff on a regular basis. Should I ban them too?

He plays a 'clever' game, in that he's generally polite, but he's entirely insincere. Personally I'd rather someone call me a prick to my face than lie to me constantly and pretend to be friendly while being two-faced. In any case I've seen sheeds being banned before that did little more than fight their corner. Not sure why you have such a soft spot for this meretricious keyboard onanist.

Yet a City fan is allowed to post on here left right and centre. It's contradictory and beggars belief really. Is there a way of only allowing him to post on certain sections of the forum?

That's because we are cool and they are angry, small minded men with insular attitudes and an inability to communicate their views hence banning posts which require some basic intellectual skills to respond to.

Taylor made it clear that he had a 300k clause to a lot of people deliberately I knew this from a friend of Taylor's quite a time ago

I agree. Ban the Special lady garden. I don't care how reasonable. I've had it with sh*theads now. Finished. If I want to read the insincere ramblings of an inbred I'll buy The Independent.
