On number 3.   We know Manny had other offers, and compelling reasons to go (family etc..) and we know that he has a preference for the midfield over right back.  If he came to the club when we were looking to resign, and said he's had these offers, and these clubs are looking at him as a CM, I want to play there or I am going, I certainly would have resigned him under those conditions.  No idea if this is what happened, but I could understand both the club's and Manny's position if something like this happened.

I think thats pretty much what happened - but it has set a very interesting precedent.

Ifill has requested to play as a winger this season with Brockie and Huysegems set to get first crack at developing a strike partnership.

"I do enjoy playing up front but I think I'm more effective wide," Ifill said.

 

An effect of prior actions?
