Message: [QUOTE="Kooly87, post: 3189454, member: 9326"] I'm certainly not excusing us taking so long to organise a review that we realistically knew we'd probably need back in July/August, but I do think the November 1 date is fairly meaningless anyway. Technically no one can approach or sign our players until then, but only a fool would believe Managers aren't sounding out other clubs and gauging levels of interest long before this time. You can guarantee his Manager has a very good idea of what other clubs might be interested in him or our other players for example, as well as what they might be prepared to pay. Similarly, it's not like Dearden is sitting around waiting until November 1 to sign a deal and rack off elsewhere. Any sensible Manager would being advising him to give the Broncos a chance to see what they want to table before signing elsewhere, otherwise he has no way to leverage a Broncos offer against what he could get elsewhere and then use this to drive the price up either way. Basically, we should have begun this review a long time ago but even with our slow response it's still unlikely to be a case of the floodgates opening as soon as November 1 rolls around. [/QUOTE]
