Hahaha.
Baines had a mad one for the the other day, he wanted a pay rise and I just ignored him so he got in a strop and him and his agent ganged up on me and were pushing for a move. Then the next day Baines comes back with his tail between his legs and told me he wanted to stay after all.
Like [Poor language removed] he's getting that pay rise.
I had a bit of a situation with Anichebe, I improved him to a 77 average, but he still wasnt good enough for a starting place, I used him as a sub a lot and in the cups. But he was'nt happy with that, kept complaining in the press, then put in a transfer request in December. I was going to sell him, but I wanted a good deal, he was valued at £7m, WBA put in a bid of £6.5, so I tried to talk them up, to £7.5m. The deal fell through and in the end the club sold him from under me, to QPR for £4m!
I guess you have to be careful if a player puts in a transfer request, because the club can just sell him without your involvement. It was funny when he came back to Goodison as a QPR player, he got booed the whole game!
