Yep the whole jump was from around £4.5kish to £11kish. One day in a book, or at an informal down the pub fans forum we may find out if someone is cheeky enough to ask at a live event.
Even if he did stay Poyet and Murray were never going to be compatible so I doubt we would have been promoted...
No, I blame Poyet for letting him go to our rivals when he would have stayed here for £100k a year less. As it was we offered him £200k a year less than Palace. A footballers life is a short one and it's not as if he had other sensible offers from other clubs. Poyet did Palace the favour not Murray.
From what I understand, just from NSC mind, Poyet clashed with Murray's other half. I don't know the detail but there was a reason for Poyet to play Glenn like this at the end and personal differences was key.
Bloom never wanted him out at all, but he had to give the benefit of the doubt to...
I got this from someone whose sister was a neighbour and friend of theirs. Also it was before Murray hit form at Palace so it was interesting but insignificant information at the time.
There may have been a system of two money pots but not so strict that we couldn't keep our best striker. Poyet...
I believe he wanted £9k which was a couple short of what Palace offered him. The club had offered £7.5k and Bloom asked Gus if we should go up to £9k and Poyet said no, let him go.
No problem with him being an Albion Legend.
