I can't see what Scott Allison is getting upset about......

........ In a bidding war one club will always come out on top, in this case it was Nottingham. Just because Sheffield were not able/willing to match them doesn't neccessarily make them nickel & dimers.
To my knowledge Scott & Michelle had lived in Rob Wilsons house for the past 2 years. If they weren't happy with it then they should have said at the time, not after they have left.
As far as feeling undervalued. If Scott wanted to do more in the community why didn't he get off his backside and do it. Not just complain after the event that no-one asked him.
As for withholding bonus's pending investigations into damaged cars. Surely that's normal practice. If I was to leave my job I wouldn't get my full pay until all company property, car, laptop, etc had been accounted for.
These comments sound as though they are coming from someone who pushed the Steelers to the limit with his pay demands and is now unhappy because they called his bluff.
I had a lot of respect for Scott but he is souring that by his comments
Yes of course my comments were the truth, something the Welsh have always had a problem with. Asked a Q about bonus payments and answered it, asked about housing and perks and answered it
Whats the matter, just rather hear one side of the story which suits your point of view, soory doesnt work like that here
open their mouths when perhaps it would be more prudent to keep them shut, as was oft quoted dont start shouting the odds if u have NO proof whatsoever of nay wrong doing. So nottm have signed a "few" high profile players most notably one of the best from sheffield which prob in honesty if the boot was on the other foot (and has been re:odelein) i would be upset and jealous about and given that sheffield has lost another player this week and still havent signed anyone it is a good tactic to deflect this attention and i guess DS sees nottm as good a target as any. However to quote an old phrase people in glass houses etc etc, just because NOW sheffield find a constraint on wages they feel everyone should play i think in all prob nottm will spend what they spent last year if this is above sheffields budget thats tough on sheffield.

Well, to be honest, I half as much expected those type of comments to be made..Uncle Nort did have a bit of a rep for 'cutting the halfpenny in half' at CFC, so why does anybody expect it to be any different whilst he owns the Steelers..after all we are told, the guy is a successful businessman and thats how you get to be so..by making sure you dont spend owt excessively, or unnecessarily..
Only trouble is our supporters are a wee bit more vocal and, lets say, more proactive than the CFC supporters were at that time..
Simmsys comment? nowt to get anybodies knickers in a twist oer..only what we all say about the topic of getting around wage caps isnt it? Ooopss...
