CCU Offline Moderator Posts: 4059 Likes received: 1401	Bradford have met his release clause - £250k. Think the delay is in the wording around the clause. Could be that they don't want to give it out in one go whereas we're insisting they do. So they're checking the fine print etc. Curle is in dreamland if he thinks someone will pay £4/500k when they only need to pay £250k!

No me neither because if you listen to certain people on here the trigger being met by one club that means thats where hes off to and theres nothing you can do to start an auction

Just a pity a Certain Mr Curle agrees with me that thats a load of crap as an auction is clearly what Curly Keith is now conducting.

Not Curle made no secret but the scout in question if its the club we think it might be he.d struggle not to be recognised

And Curle has a very good reason for wanting that deal to go thru rather than the Bradford one and its nothing to do with money

If you listen to his interveiw again after youve heard this then it makes a hell of a lot more sense than it did before.

Because Curles obviously playing some sort of game in manipulating whats happening into his and the clubs favour and i cant see how naming names and clubs at this stage can help but Bradford knowing their 250k bid isnt likely to get him because Curles outsmarted him cant do any harm

And the info given fits different clubs in different ways but the fact that ENS and RC have both posted some of what they know proves that the story definitely has legs.

Aye all I've seen is the screenshot of a text message, nothing concrete. Hopefully it is just one of them lot talking rubbish. Speaking of fans on twitter, this whole Wyke situation hasn't half brought out the weird online fans hasn't it? Both carlisle and Bradford, some proper weird folk about.

STH Offline Ball Boy Posts: 235 Likes received: 63	Anyone think that the main hold up could be Wyke himself? I fully expect Curle to have been in his ear about holding out for a championship club, whether that is in the summer or now. Putting money aside, we could be in the same division as Bradford in a few months. The financial offer from Bradford will be a good one as they are desperate which will be tempting.
