The £1k relocation fee that is being suggested, came from a direct message to Godrington Gull via Ronald Huth's Twitter account at the time... which translated as this ...Glostergull wrote:I have serious doubts that his demands were public. this is the area of confidentiality. no player would advertise his demands. wages or expenses. I doubt any of you would do so either. for any reason. because of this none of us know what his real demands are or were. and I cannot in all honesty hold me hand up to say. oh it was turned down for this or that reason.. we are just surmising. dangerous act to play..if your all so sure why don't you go up to Bristol and ask him why
There is no mention of what the salary offer was - only that Huth viewed it as "small" but did accept it - only for the offer to seemingly be withdrawn by us when he asked for £1000 to help secure a flat.GoodringtonGull wrote:This is what the message reads. Granted his English isn't great!
"No friend. I accept the salary little that was offered to me. Pay my flat. Only asked 1000£ bonus by sign and said that no and withdraw the offer. Sorry but it is not my fault. Thanks very much for all the messages to my person..."
That is Huth's account ( according to Goodrington Gull - no reason to doubt him at all) and so I guess it's whether you choose to believe him or not.
All academic now, of course, as the wages freed up in the budget when Angus left, were (presumably) taken up by GG when he was given a contract - unfortunately, decent player though he is, he is not good enough in the air to play centre half and lacks the aggression needed in my opinion. Huth, on the evidence of that one game alone would have been an excellent acquisition but I suspect in the end Nicho felt he might not "fit in" to what he is trying to build. Boy we could have done with him though!
