But again, I don't think I've ever heard that at virtually any club.

If they couldn't settle for whatever reason, that can happen.

But I think players don't... Gary, you know players.

Most of them don't tend to make excuses why something didn't go right.

And that's a really difficult thing to do, because that goes against the other adage, which is, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

would not be able to... Yeah, different competition.

And you couldn't compare.
