Halas nailed it.
FYI there is a European skipper in our hood telling people that he just resigned - so effective three months from this week - and was asked into a meeting and offered 100kAED to stay until Nov as the summer crewing situation is a now a crisis & will not be sorted until the Fall.
He took it.
I'm hesitant to write these rumors - but the source it came from was no Alan Pardew.
