00:00But right, I mean, you know how, we had not one discussion about letting Dom go at all.

00:07That wasn't a discussion at all, right?

00:09Then we get approached by Newcastle and his management, and they say, you know, we want this to happen.

00:18And we say, fine, well, you know, you take up the contract.

00:21And then they ask, they want us to release him, but us to pay money for it, when we weren't even thinking about releasing him?

00:27And in what world does that happen?

00:30Like, you asked, you said that you had room in your cap, so get it sorted.

00:36You threw a guy's life upside down for a week, you put another club in, but just do it in the right way.

00:43So you guys aren't interested in paying him out to move along then?

00:47What, why, we hadn't even had a discussion, so why would we pay out for a really good player to move somewhere else,

00:54unless the club was ready to pay it, and their management wanted it to happen?

00:59And apparently Dom did after not wanting, not being here, so, and then we have to pay?

01:05Come on, like, come on, that's not how it works.

01:07Do you actually put an end to a possible early move for Dom's new concert?

01:13Yeah, unless, unless things change from their end, you know, we're, I think they're trying to bluff us into,

01:20but we didn't want it to happen.

01:22We didn't instigate any of this, so, anyway, that's, that's done.

01:26That's, I think I've been pretty clear in our stance and how it went down.
