So he had a release clause in his contract.

Interesting

So “speaking to clubs behind our back” was a load of bollocks

Haven't read it, can't be arsed tbf, but aren't release clauses only relevant when they have been triggered by a club offering the correct amount to release, to the parent club?
Or have I got that wrong?


Rowett was speaking to clubs without Blues permission, behind their backs, and it was Rowett who approached the clubs

The first rumours and stories about this came from people at the clubs involved - not from sources at Blues

It's genuinely pointless arguing this Rags, some people will not have it.

Sounds to me, rather than proving anything to the contrary, that Rowett is the disingenuous one here, drip feeding people bollix that cast him in a better light. Bit of a weasel it seems?

I’d say. Tbh I think it’s pretty poor going round telling what appear to be porkies about seven years ago. Maybe he’s be advised to leave it behind. Most people probably think it was all terribly unfair and unmerited anyway.
