Sky would. Leeds cannot deny them access, they tried it once and had to back down. The football deal is between sky and the the football league, not sky and Leeds United.

And if it is subject to court proceedings then there could be an injunction taken out preventing Sky moving the match.
 
Seriously. When you take out the paragraph of thelwell quote, and then the Afobe tweets in reply there are about eighty words left.
 
Club and former player in at-odds shocker.

All the Afobe business is such a non-story to me. It appears he wanted to go and we made a cool ~£8mil out of it. End of, as far as I'm concerned. All the bickering between Benik and Moxey et al. gets nobody anywhere.
 
It's odd because we've never publicly thrown an (ex)player under the bus so obviously before.

I think Mr Moxey reached the level of "had enough of this shit"...............So now he knows how the rest of us feel.
 
KJ at least looking to move on:
Jackett says his own focus remains firmly on the players now in the Wolves squad and aiming to help the team up the table, as they prepare to take on Preston at Molineux tomorrow (3pm).

“Benik had a whirlwind year with us,” says the Head Coach.

“People saw the games, people can make up their own mind.

“There was a well publicised and big bid from Norwich in August, but it was quiet in the build-up (to January).

“You’re wondering whether things are going to happen, and the Bournemouth situation happened very quickly over three or four days - it wasn’t protracted.

“It did accelerate very quickly at the end and it was the right thing to do to let him go and move on to the Premier League.

“All of my focus and energy is now on finding the attacking equation that can be successful in this league moving forward.

“It has been a tough process through Graham coming in, Zyro coming in, and then losing them both and finding other strengths.

“There are considerable other strengths here and all of my focus is on those rather than players who are not here.

“I want to talk about players that are here, and the team progressing.

“It is about trying to narrow the gap between ourselves and the top sides both in terms of performance and in terms of results.

“That may be in giving the players here an opportunity or by recruiting.

“We have had many changes to the front-line so far this season.

“It is the players that are here now that are the most important as they are the ones who are looking to score goals and win games for Wolves.

“They are the players that I want to focus on – not the ones that were here.

It wasn't so much the decisions made that day that were the problem, more the series of fuck ups that followed.

Having said that, Mick's sacking is the only time I have been genuinely sad to see a Wolves manager sacked. I knew it was coming, I knew why he had to go, but I was gutted for him when I saw him being interviewed through his car window after saying his goodbyes on the Monday morning.
 
It's been done to death really. If we were just accepting relegation at that stage then we shouldn't have sacked him, I'd have put sizeable money on him getting us at the very least into the playoffs in this division in at least one of the following four seasons, which isn't going to pan out now. However at the time we were not cut adrift and he was not going to keep us up, if we were going to give survival a proper go then he had to leave. What we didn't expect was that the club would sack him and then just accept relegation, the worst of both worlds.
 
KJ at least looking to move on:

I got all excited then...I thought you meant Jackett was thinking of leaving not moving on from the Afobe bollocks... Disappointed now :mecry:
 
I think most Wolves fans were looking for a change back then but if any of us had known that he would be replaced by Connor we would have kept him.

I was and still am a fan of Big Mick and really don't get Wolves fans that day they can't stand him, he's the best we've had since Graham Turner. I would love to go back to the heady days of 2008-09
