Well no

in signing Earnshaw there were 2 ways we could make that a successful signing. Going up - well yes that didn't happen because of the boards faith in Worthington. But the other way was not going up - but selling for a big profit. And it was written into the contract that we couldn't. And that was down to the release clause. Do you really think Derby wouldn't have paid £4 million? or £4.5 million?
