Nice interview here from Richie’s agent with a few good nuggets.
-Turkish offer back in the summer was real. Alluded to that causing some strain when the club rejected it.
- Curtis put an offer on the table back in the summer, which was assessed to be inadequate
- Manning came in and essentially saved the day. Offered him a good deal to stay (the amount quoted in the press was accurate) but said he’d work towards a sale too if that’s what Richie wanted
Add it to the list of things Ali Curtis bungled that Manning had to clean up.
