The Delap Deal is bad because ....... on 11:23 - May 30 with 909 views | Herbivore | Because in a hypothetical world where we could have signed him without agreeing to a relegation release clause in his contract, we might have been able to get a bigger fee for him. This ignores the fact that signing him was very likely to be dependent on us agreeing such a clause. |  |

The Delap Deal is bad because ....... on 11:27 - May 30 with 878 views | MattinLondon | Because MA should have borrowed Doc Brown’s DeLorean and gone forward in time to ascertain just how many goals Delap would score in that season. If he had done this, MA would have realised that the £30M relegation clause would be far too low. Pure laziness on his part. Ashton out, Clegg in. If Clegg isn’t available let’s try that fat fella and thinner fella who were here and whose names I’ve completely forgotten. |  | |  |

I wouldn’t go that far but basically it’s akin to what colour dress this is. |  | |  |

I have explained to my children and various friends that I am colour blind and can’t see green and yellow when they are together I phrased it wrongly to a young lady at work a few years ago and had HR ‘visit’ me. Apparently saying if you insist of wearing those colours you just as not be wearing anything was “inappropriate”. The HR person in question was a Hearts fan who smiled and said they understood completely as they felt the same way about green and white. |  |

The Delap Deal is bad because ....... on 13:21 - May 30 with 508 views | gainsboroughblue | It's bad in hindsight, if at all. When he signed, I did not see the impact he would have. He, very early on, was pushed into being our only number 9 and he stepped to the plate and each individual performance was judged on the last. He was probably the second or even third most signing I was excited about at the time before he kicked a ball for us. That may show an underappreciation and paying too much attention to the stats he had at Stoke etc that came before but I certainly didn't expect the hype that followed. Not yet anyway. |  |
