If City got to this stage of the deal and then ‘baulked’ At the money involved, they are far more inept than I ever gave them credit for.
Especially since they offered double the fee in August.
“We’ll give you £60m for Alexis”
Five months later
“We want £30m”
“Baulk.”
I don’t think it was the transfer fee so much that Mullock was saying was the issue, more Sanchez’s demands. Doesn’t look like his Mirror colleague John Cross agrees with him though.
