Given that it seems Naismith and Whittaker agreed their deals after it was posted, perhaps there was some truth to it?
I am positive it was Boss that posted it.
It's obviously up to everyone to assess the accuracy of the post. My take on it is that the news was one-sided and I'm sure that the players would have a different view on it, which would result in the administrators being criticised. There was obviously some negotiations being carried out by some players as they are quite entitled to do and as long as the end result is achieved then I'm not bothered about some reasonable quid pro quo.
All the players who agree to the cuts are helping their club, helping the fans and helping a lot of the other employees, and there can be nothing but praise for them for doing so.
