on THURSDAY that a bid for RSC had been received, but then rejected. I'm sure I heard Tuesday or Wednesday from Blackburn that they hadn't received a bid for RSC yet. So I'd say that it was Thursday we put the bid in.
Bear in mind the rumours that Hughes told Aldridge and Cook on Saturday after the game that he needed new players ASAP, seems a bit odd to me. Surely RSC is Hughes main target (if only for 'sentimental' or physcological reasons for Hughes). Very strange that we wait that long to put a bid in. Especially as we knew the starting block, as we put a bid of £12m for him in the summer didn't we? So we knew Blackburn would want more than that.
