I know you get ridiculed by the usual suspects on here if you post like this, but I am sure it will interest some of you, because this is genuinely from a relative of a player involved in contract talks. The only reason I will not name him is because one young player is already in the Soup with the club.
I was told that Howson was going to run his contract down to teach Bates and Harvey a lesson, but because he loves the club and the fans, he will be moving on. He was still on league one wages,not asking for a fortune more, but told he needs to go by Harvey to balance the books. Howson did not solicit a move, but Bates can only turn a profit if he sells.
Aidan White is being offered a couple of hundred a week more on his contract, but again his wages stem from being a junior, and he will be going too.
Ben Parker probably did what he did because he is fed up of the BS coming from the official channels, and he has been told he has no future at the club, and was going to be loaned to Carlisle. So, he had nothing to lose.
Make of it what you will, but one thing I do know, this club is rotten to the core, no more, no less.
OK, this is from a good 'source'

Rotten to the core is correct. Saturday reminded me of the late 70s under adamson poor side no atmosphere fans angry. Very unenjoyable

Wakey, I'm even beginning to turn on Gray, unthinkable how I should be feeling towards such legendary players but that's how low i feel we've sunk as a club!
It's a disgrace what's happening down there!

Easy to believe the rumours that kasper was forced out

Big difference for me is that Gray knows things arent right and indicates this but for obvious reasons can't go to far.
Lorimer is different, seems to embrace how the club is run, Shamefull

I think he does too.
For the past four seasons he's always said we'll get promoted, even last season he was upbeat and fancied us
Not this year, he's not daft and knows were poor

WW, the employer wanted him to sign a new contract. When that wasn't happening they have decided to take an offer, which probably came as a bit of a surprise as he's injured. What I was saying though is Howson could easily of waited until the summer to see if someone else came in for him. Plus without a fee he could say give me an extra £1m over say a 4 year contract.
LIW, he knows like the fans we haven't performed this season. I'm surprised how were hanging on to the play offs. If we actually did start to come to form we could be in for a pleasent surprise. Their again.............

It ain't gunna change under grayson.
I've already wrote this season off for promotion and indeed the play offs
I know I shouldn't and like you wonder how the hell were only a point off play offs, but just watching Leicester and they look miles better than us and could easily go on a run. I don't see us doing that
