Cormack,
I don't disagree (in essence) with what you are saying. I am not trying to make the case that he isn't worth $xxx.
My fear is that during negotiations (which WILL be long and drawn out) the press will whip up public support against Carl and make it that much more difficult to sign him to a reasonably cap friendly situation. This type of public manipulation by Whitlock (et al), will cost the club dearly and the Press could care less as long as they are looking like the good guys.
Personally, I hate being used as a pawn and I can promise you that the Press will attempt to use us fans in this manner. Unfortunately, I think we have a lot of fans that will unknowingly fall into this trap.
Luz
confident that tony, and the team, will have a good year...
