Aye, ..but,... you're maybe missing the point of modern semi-professional fitba Mick...if he just starts a rumour about the dosh he's allegedly been offered by a club rumoured to be splashing the cash and then gets all his pals to post it on social media it becomes a sort of self generating prophecy...even though nobody has ever heard of the boy he gets to travel to Peterhead every week to pick up an extra fifty quid.
It is the way of the world. Best of luck to him.
p.s. If the lad is reading this and is in any way related to either Neil, or Billy Armour,...then I did not write this message and my account has been hacked by persons unknown. Phew.
