I think you've lost the plot.
Firstly, why would he divulge that information when until a couple of hours ago he was still in the hunt for Mortimor... and how would journos have even spoken to him since then. Greenberg seems a classy character and I can't see him leaking such information for no reason.
Secondly, I think you're clutching at straws thinking the Dogs board have other agendas behind offering Mortimor a contract. That's just lunacy. We're talking professional sport here this isn't a movie about conspiracy and extortion attempts.
first of all, I'm just your average punter, I don't know where journos get their info from, I really don't, I've just thrown up a reason as to how that figure was bandied around..do I need to assume that every journo bullsh*ts their way because it suits them??
as for clutching straws, reminds me of a conversation I had with a friend of mine connected with a particular club, he revealed to me that they pulled out of the race to sign a big name player but was asked by the players manager to go along and continue to bump up the price of a player who eventualy signed with a rival club 1 month later for more money than was originaly negotiated, I actually thought this sort of practise never existed but apparently it's rife in the comp..
so in saying that I expect us to lose a player or 2 to the dogs over this, and I'm in no way denagrading Morts's signing but I'm expecting it to happen, I hope I'm wrong but we'll see what happens.
at the end of the day, I'll throw a classic cliche at you and tell you that no player is bigger than the club and the club will always survive regardless of who comes and goes and that to me is more important.
