So answer my questions about how Savage knows certain things which he wouldn't if he hadn't been tapped up. I understand that you want to defend your club, but if you honestly believe that Savage hasn't been tapped up then you are a fool. As for not complaining about Duff being tapped up by Liverpool, prehaps you should have.

It has been stated by David Sullivan in his interview, it has nothing to do with Internet rumours as much as you would like to think so. If Hughes/Bowen/Blackburn are the innocent party in this sorry affair then could you provide explanations for the following. 1) How did Savage known the details of BRFC's offers to BCFC in advance of them being sent. 2) How did Savage know what renumeration he would be offered, in order to negotiate a pay rise with BCFC's board [the £12,000 figure mentioned by DS in the Sunday Mirror] As for your assertations that Savage is not worth any more than you are offering can you point to any other premiership player who is a regular for his club, has 4 years on his contract and is payed c.40k a week who his available for a similar fee? Your club is in the wrong in this case and is rightly taking a beating in the press.
