I had an amicable chat yesterday (Wednesday) and he said there were other clubs were interested. I made him an offer and gave him a deadline, but I've pulled out now.

He has outstanding ability. He's played in the Premiership and can go past people. Fans love to see players take people on and that's what he does - he's a real handful.

If assessment is up 19 per cent or less [on a property], than an individual's property taxes would go down if it is assumed [the City] would raise the same in 2006 as in 2005.

This is a launchpad. We now have three games out of four at home and the table is so tight that we are only five points off the play-offs.

As a manager you're always disappointed to see good players leave but Jon is going to a good club and it really is a brilliant move for him.
