And people still like to argue that an auction is a good think and best way to do it.
The argument that because it’s large amount of money it should be an auction is just wrong on so many levels.
I’m likely to go to 2 days at Old Trafford but that is about it.
Mainly to see us best the Leeds based team.

Because Annabel was a direct signing and guaranteed the slot.
Danni ended up with a bidding war but could have very easily been unsold.
It has nothing to do with feeling like slavery.
It is still selling people as if they are objects to be brought.
Are we saying that because it’s lots of money that makes it ok!? That’s even worse.

IF and it’s a big IF (as they shouldn’t happen) you are going to have an auction
At least make sure that they get the names right and show the correct pictures of the players!!

Then fix the mess to be transparent.
This auction is hardly transparent when so many deals we’d allowed to be done and organised at different times.
Auctions for people are not acceptable full stop
We had a better option
A draft system where the values of players gets fixed and at proper bracket price
So because she gets paid what she should be for doing her job elsewhere it means it’s perfectly fine for her to take a pay cut elsewhere

There is a Shakespeare quote that I always remember when it come to these situations and is so true
“They are as sick that surfeit with too much as they that starve with nothing"
Just think on that people
