well the board reacted very well by giving Roeder all the money he needed to sign Tiny

we even ended up going above Brum's original asking price, but by then they were short on players in that position due to other injuries within their own squad.

if only Roeder hadn't to play hardball over the valuation with Brady things could well have been very different
