I think Grahame is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't here in all fairness. The club is sometimes accused of not being open enough with fans and I suspect that if this statement had not been issued there would have been people asking why we hadn't done more to try and persuade Barnsley to agree to the move. As it is, a statement has been put out clarifying what happened and some people are now saying it was unnecessary to provide this information. If he had put out a statement saying "Those idiots at Barnsley have cost us £12,500" then, yes, I could see the inappropriateness of it, but I think as fans we have a right to know that we've (once again) been done out of a considerable lump of tv money through no fault of our own.

Totally agree with that.

Fair point.
