Shambles hahaha
Wasn‘t there a similar situation to Clohessy? He always maintained we never offered him a new contract. So hard to know the truth though.
For all we know Macca’s agent might have told Ron he won’t sign a new deal, demanded a 50% pay increase or wanted a deal longer than we were prepared to offer. In which case Ron wouldn’t have offered him anything but would still be expecting him to leave unless Macca or his agent have a change of mind.
So they might both be telling the truth. Who knows.
Well the article says he was offered a new deal. So you could be right, it may have been an informal offer, but I didn’t read it that way, and if it was, it’s hardly a professional way to conduct business.
We might not of formally offered anything, as his agent may well of told us that he was going elsewhere..
I remember being told that Clohessy or his agent was asking for a pay rise and Ron was having none of it. From memory it wasn't even a big pay rise either.Wasn‘t there a similar situation with Clohessy? He always maintained we never offered him a new contract. So hard to know the truth though.

Expect no different from Ron. He really is a vile man.
Bit harsh.
Its the basics surely- forget the agent saying thats unacceptable, we need more, others are offering more (I would trust an agent as far as I could throw them either). make a formal offer to the player and let the player know. Its then on the table to reject or accept.
In business you would be surprise how many "unacceptable" offers get accepted once they are formalised. Put a time limit on it. Then at least we get away from the appalling they never even made an offer scenario that drags on for a few years afterwards.
Suspect it is that we had discussions with the agents who rubbished our proposal so we didn't bother getting something on a the table- which from a negotiation point of view would be lazy frankly.
Its obvious he wants to stay if we can stretch to a half decent offer- maybe the new manager might break the log jam and doing something outrageous and old fashioned (phone the player for a chat..)
