Cab I point out that it was Paul Hurst who convinced Omar to join us over other Conference clubs and allegedly league clubs at the time as well. The same Paul Hurst had the foresight to give him a three year deal and equally the same Paul Hurst who couldn't sign a striker to save his life who turned 30k into over £1m! He can smile with deep satisfaction this evening.

It was JF who signed Bogle. Hurst was forced into it by the fans' OP expectations. It was also Hurst who was apparently reluctant to let Bogle be Bogle. However, water under the bridge. Three points against Luton is the main item on the agenda now.

Some might not want to hear this but thought the Mullins provided funds to allow Bogz and others to become GTFC players.

So are you saying that you find it odd that a club could block a move if a player wanted to go? Or that they should not term players as assets and therefore available for sale.
I'm saying the whole system is medieval viewed one way. Assuming you're not a professional footballer you'd think it odd if your employer could block your recruitment by another company.

But on the other hand if you contract a builder to build you a house and then half way through he decides he has a better offer building elsewhere. It's all about contacts at the end of the day and if players sign one then they must stick by it

This may have been mentioned elsewhere on this thread (I confess I haven't read all 40 pages) but this quote from MB shows why it was right to sell Omar: "ging for him – career-wise – I know also how much it will mean to him to be able to financially support his family."
This is a life changing move for him and a chance to have financial security. That chance doesn't always come again. It's important that the club respects that. Also, it's a sign to other players signing for us that if they do well, when the time comes we will do the right thing.
