The only problem I have with the Brannagan fiasco, is how late we left it, why wait until the eve of the new season, if we really wanted him we could have done all this weeks ago, regardless of the outcome.
That said, I'm not sure what more the club could do.
We decided not to sign Bishop, our decision, not his.
We matched the offer for Simms, he chose Sunderland, not much we can do about that.
We met Brannagans release clause, it meant we could talk to him, he chose to stay at Oxford, end of story, not much we could do about that.
We can only hope things change, not sure it should be a stick to beat the club with.
