Ross Hannah

Quoted from Abdul19

Maybe I'm thinking about it too much (especially about the use of the word 'little', but these 2 bits contradict each other a little?

See what you mean.
I personally interpret it a bit like "it's not likely if they stick to what they want right now but hopeful it will be in the future once they've changed their minds".

For me I'm guessing it all boils down to Hannah.
Does he just want 1st team football or is he gonna hold out with Bradford for a possibly preferred move ?
Interesting think he said it was out of his hands on Premier - I'm wildly guessing there's some significance to it.
But what it might be, I haven't got the foggiest...

But let's speculate anyway...  
Is he saying to Bradford, it's up to YOU to agree a deal with GTFC ?
Or it's up to us to agree a deal with Bradford ?
intercourse knows !
But hopefully the former...

At the end of the day IF it's his preferred/dream move here and Bradford dig their heels in, then hypothetically, would he be wrong to sit out his remaining time there ? I'm not so sure he would ?
Obviously no-one wants a "lose lose" situation but depending on Hannah (which could be key) the ball could well be in Bradford's court to get something rather than nothing ?
If Hannah eventually decides to goes elsewhere then what (if anything) can we conclude ?

Quoted from cod.gtfc

Ross loves it here and would love to stay.

"At the same time, if suddenly a different club comes in and offers him a much better package then he'll obviously look at that.

Missed this bit...
B0LLOCKS !  

Does "package" mean more money on the table ?

Now to be fair, it may well be that it really IS out of his hands if an agreement cant be reached.
But hearing that too has put me on a right downer.

Or could it be Hurst posturing saying that only a "much better package" will tempt him elsewhere ?  
Arrrrghhh !  

If it gets to January 31 and he's still at Bradford, the 50k asking price will surely drop, because a day later he'll have no transfer value at all.

That is a very good point.

Ill be gutted if we don't sign Hannah, and even if we don't get him in jan I can see him coming at the end of his contract.  Neilson yeah it's a shame he's joining Luton (well based on all the talk I've heard) but it was always a difficult one, lets just say if grimsby was down south he'd be a town player by now.  Pond is just as crucial as Hannah as is Marshall, but this is the only downside to loans other clubs can pinch your signings.

Without trying to sound to negative if we lose all the loan signings with exception of rankine as I've not seen a lot of him, and although I trust S&H it's whether they would be able to blend into the squad quickly I just think lose some of these loans and I think it will make our season very difficult and our only option could be the playoffs.

Have faith - and enjoy being top over Christmas!

If Bradford insist on taking us to the cleaners regarding his fee then so be it, there are other pebbles on the beach

What would happen if Hannah refused to go to another club? Surely he has the final say. If he digs his heels in, would Bradford give in and sell him for a fee or give him to us for free?

Is there no way this can be resolved at a tribunal? That would (hopefully) come down on the sensible side of things.

Pay it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Small price to in the long run, he's a proven net hitter! Look at his record.

I'd be embarrassed and gutted if Ross signed for another club for 40-50k.....Bennett money???????
