Think that's why Rudan came here in the first place, anyway? As a poaching expedition?
Honestly doubt it. WU were announced during the season,
I didn't say he was sent here by WU. I honestly think, though, he came here thinking that - since those bloody Kiwis were on their way out anyway - he'd make friends with the best players and take them with him when he left. He may have actually intended to stay the 2 years, but WU turned up and the price happened to be right.
And I refuse to believe that this is unrelated to an Indian club taking our two best strikers at the same time. Stripped. For. Parts.
Take off your tin foil hat for a moment, you were also certain that wu had signed six Phoenix players.
While Rudan has been a manipulative dick I have no doubt that what we're seeing is nothing more that Hanlon's razor.
