Er, no.

This is how it happened.

1. Barlow decided he wanted out of the Eagles and made a massive song and dance, said he wouldn't play for the club anymore etc
2. Barlow contacted Fax and said he wanted to go there
3. Aston said to Fax 'you can have him if you pay the value of the remainder of his contract', which amounted to several thousand pounds
4. Fax have no money, so refused
5. To get a deal done, Aston said Barlow could go on the proviso that he didn't play against Sheffield for Fax this year
6. Fax and Barlow both agreed to this

So Aston is within his rights, and perfectly correct.

I'd play him if I were you. He'll end up getting sent off anyway. He's a wind-up merchant who can't take it when the opposition winds him up.

Sheffield are a very professional organisation. They have already laid out the sleeping bags for us to start queueing for tickets for nest season's game.

That's if your clubs still around

If its not, we can always merge with another one, then start again.

Ooof - that's below the belt!

It wasn't a merger, it was a takeover.

Seriously, though, there are plenty of reasons why players would come to Sheffield - for starters Mark and the board are always clear and transparent when it comes to money. If they say a player will earn X, he will - rather than you'll earn X, but then we won't bother paying that. See what happened to Andy Henderson at Barrow.
