No different from any other industry in this respect though. I’m offered a job for £100k a year, verbally accept, I’m countered with a job at another employer for £120k or better benefits etc. Happens all the time really, football isn’t immune from it. 100% it and depending on where he lives he wouldn't have to move house asif he would if he went Bradford and he's on more money at gills www.kentonline.co.uk/medway/sport/williams-why-gillingham-was-the-right-club-288405/Kent lad playing for Kent club and suits his family too... no brainer really.

Not strange if Gills have thrown another few hundred grand at him over the course of a contract. Maybe he ventured out of his hotel in Leeds for a look around Bradford city centre? That'd be enough for me to be on the first train out of there. You've obviously never been to Gillingham.

Football. A beautiful game. A horrible business. Bradford would have f*cked him off if he was shite tbf Dave, works both ways. I didn't actually think much of Williams when Swindon played us. I thought his name gave him attention but he was pretty average. Saw him a lot at Charlton. Either a world beater or injured or (conjecture) possibly mentally not always in a good place. He was the only one Bielsa rated when Leeds played Charlton. He should have had a better career than he has had in my opinion.

Not a footballer but Father in law to Steve Davis/ies & Ben Chorley who were Thomas Thompson. Not a footballer but surely Neville Neville tops everything else ! Clearly his Parents were bladdered when Registering his Birth

Been there myself but with less money involved. Applied for 3 jobs, got them all within a couple of days and picked the one that suited me the best.

Or most large towns and city,s on a wet weekend in november as well. Nothing new in all this as my mother by all accounts did the same and caught the next train home after seeing halifax for the first time after my old man was going to have talks with the club. Laugh was he ended up going to aldershot and living in digs.

I see Kian Spence has gone to Barrow. Not quite ready to be the major signing I'd like us to make in central midfield, but he'd have been excellent cover/competition for those number eight positions.
Think he'll do well at Barrow, reunited with Wild.

Think he'll do well at Barrow, reunited with Wild. Good player but not right for us. Not got enough offensively to play as one of our high attacking midfielders and not an out and out DM who can play the holding role on his own. He’s best suited in a double pivot.

Yeah, that analysis rings true actually. Unless we moved to a double pivot and more of a ten, but don't see that happening while Collar with us (nor should it).

Turnover is for vanity, Profit is for sanity. TBF, Fleur Robinson has walked the talk. The fact she’s “talking about her walk” at an international showjumping fair is probably further proof they’re going after the prawn sandwich brigade in their pursuit of growth, though. Little wonder the £25M for the stadium upgrades was allowed to come from taxpayer’s money earmarked for transport upgrades - those types are hardly going to be riding the train that gets into Wrexham General at 2:34 on a Saturday…
