Touch wood. It was mad they let them have a clause at all. As your last point, there's no fucking doubt.It is for Preston ... plus they would have to agree personal terms with him and that would be a fraction of the wage he would get with us.
The issue will be where he wants to play I should think. He is a nailed on starter for them now and he grew up about 20 miles from Preston. If he comes back to us there is every chance we fuck him about.
