The Toronto offer would have gone public an hour later

and things would have been out of control.

Assuming they are going to stick by what PC has said, and it would be madness if they didn't, it's been well handled.

        I think you're overthinking it (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 12, 15:25:38
    - If the club want to sell sarge I don’t think… (NCFC) - loz, Jan 12, 14:55:05

        Agree. Up to him now whether he effs off, or eats some humble pie. (NCFC) - camcan, Jan 12, 15:19:11

        Well if he wants to get anywhere near a World Cup (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Jan 12, 14:59:54
        
        Squad he will… (NCFC) - loz, Jan 12, 15:00:18
        
        There would have to be some huge PR damage control to get him near the first team.... (NCFC) - usacanary, Jan 12, 15:03:12
        
        Not really… (NCFC) - loz, Jan 12, 15:06:29
        
        And Buendia and Cantwell (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 12, 15:26:35
        
        Agree with this, but I’d still have Makama ahead of him 😂 (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Jan 12, 17:00:34
        
        I would too - I'm not a fan of Makama playing wide right (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 12, 17:08:59
        
        Hope you are right but can you imagine the stick he will get.... (NCFC) - usacanary, Jan 12, 15:10:16
        
        Fans have short memories. It'll only be used against him if he looks like he isn't trying (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Jan 12, 15:28:04
        
        Thats the PR im talking about...it will have to be full throttle (n/m) (NCFC) - usacanary, Jan 12, 18:40:03
  - Sarge text him saturday night, PC wouldn't have kept that to himself till after the match (n/m) (NCFC) - megson, Jan 12, 14:45:50
- Do you really think people in the game don't know this stuff? (NCFC) - Cable Gap Pioneer, Jan 12, 14:44:29
- Yes how dare he answer a question he was asked honestly (NCFC) - LincolnshireCanary, Jan 12, 14:43:31
  - Get real... he is probably less than forthcoming about a lot of stuff. (n/m) (NCFC) - usacanary, Jan 12, 14:48:32
- Maybe they knew it was going to be leaked by his agent (n/m) (NCFC) - jamesward, Jan 12, 14:40:11
