Surely you don't think the money or more to the point the amounts were comparable ?.

I would put my left one on there being a significant difference between then ( for Bert ) and now ( for Carl ). If the rumors eventuate re these two potential signings and the two names being proposed they are a far cry from what both Lawrie and Ernie described as NOT household names but somebody elses squad-dies when Ernie was offered funds to spend notwithstanding Lawrie also went on to say he provided a list of players fer Bert to choose from made up of Olyroos players at other other clubs looking for game time. Bert confirmed as much when he went on to say in a interview one of those was a striker yet to make his A League debut for his current A League club. No player of the caliber of Ledley or Bernie was offered to Bert and any inference of such is just BS eh.
