As far as I am aware they don't buy and sell players..... no matter how much Yorkshire would like to
I think that's right, the 28 day approach applies to players in the last year of their contracts but he seems to be saying that no contract offer was made until he was in that last year. If that's true it was at the very least extremely careless to run down the contract knowing for sure he would be in demand. Rocky could be just trying to make excuses for going but now I have a feeling something funny might have been going on and they wanted him off the wage bill.
