What they should be doing (and I hope they are) is telling Wee Mac in no uncertain terms that IF he wants to stay in the A-league we'll match whatever he's being offered and throw in some additional carrots (chuckle). Such as - a box at the rugby, sunday morning brekky at Floriditas, an all-access pass to Kiwibank and Te Papa, a bar tab at Malthouse, a crack on the slide at Trade Me, Dan Keat to partner him in MF... anyway - you get my point.
If only.
