looks like papertalk given the volume of players they have been linked with, i suppose it depends on how he feels he was treated by the club (never mind PDc) after that event. He will be difficult to keep hold of for sure!
Club Statement:
We have unfortunately been forced to accept an undisclosed bid for Leon Clarke. The reason for this is that season ticket sales are much lower than expected, and under FFP regulations we would have had to sell all high earning players sooner rather than later. We would urge all true sky bluefans to purchase season tickets to support your team. At the moment we have sold 83 season tickets - if we could sell just another 83 then we would be in a much healthier position and would be more able to keep more of our star players.

We are delighted to announce that we've accepted an undisclosed bid (you've got no right to know how much) for Leon Clarke. The reason for this is that we are in a very sticky situation having wrongly assumed that our fans were gullible enough to purchase season tickets for 'home' matches in Northampton. Yes, it does mean that the football team will be weakened further but that isn't and never has been a prime concern to us. In the short term the sale will ease the pressure on our finances albeit marginally. We will now attempt to shift the blame to you, by suggesting that you can't really be true fans if you don't buy into the bullshit that we spout. Having set this precedent his strategy is likely to continue for the foreseeable future.
