Kind of. Knapper gave himself some leeway in his comments in November

"You can never give guarantees of what's going to happen, of course. But I think it would be extremely difficult to think of a world where Josh Sargent leaves us mid-season.

"Understanding the ambition from ownership, from me, from Philippe (Clement), I can't see a world in which that happens."

If the reports saing that we are in discussions with Toronto for a fee of £15m are correct then it seems odd that Clement to be so adamant that he is not leaving.

It is perfectly possible those reports are wrong. It could be that Clement could be fully informed and is trying to drive the price up.

Let's hope it's not because Knapper hasn't been straight with him or because the two are in disagreement on this.
