But it's not the manager who offers the contracts is it.
If DC told the board that he REALLY wanted Jack to stay they would have come up with a contract reflecting that. The board weren’t convinced regarding Walkers wages but it was DC’s decision. DC would have discussed the players contracts when discussing the job.
Jack was offered a contract they knew he would refuse.
He did, and they offered the best contract they were prepared to offer. DC was as unhappy at that as JW was. Although to be fair they matched Wigan's offer in all but guaranteed length of contract.
All you are doing is admitting your dislike of Cowley is based on something that was not his fault in the slightest, quite the opposite.
So they didn’t match it then? I’m not buying it in the slightest and it’s nothing to do with my dislike of DC. If he insisted on keeping Jack, the board would have offered him a suitable contract to keep him. The squad would have been discussed at interview.
All you are doing is confirming yet again that you are criticising DC for something not his fault. He did all he could to keep Jack but lost the argument.
