At which point do you think the owner is involved? Given his recent operation he'll have not been round much. Scouts, Unsworth, D Royle and then Frank for the sign off is I guess how most transfers go.
"We've sorted a deal for this lad, good player but questions over him off the field Frank" is the sort of conversation that took place from what I'm told. Decision made that the clubs budget and firstly reputation was more important.
Lets face it he isn't even that good. Never heard of him before we were linked. 27 year old bellend playing non league. Next.
