A 'five figure sum' could mean anything from £10,000 to £99,999. I would bet that Bristol Rovers have offered something like £10,000. If I remember correctly we paid £7,500 for him with another £2,500 if we won the Unibond League. As stated the Club have turned down the offer, but, even if it was accepted the decision would be up to Rory and, if Bristol Rovers are skint I cannot see them offering much more in wages than we are. He would have to up sticks and move to Bristol as he couldn't travel from Yorkshire every day for training, so, I am sure it would have to be a substantial increase in wages to make him move to Bristol. He is a very important player for us but if somebody offered a 'five figure sum' say £99,999 then we would have to think seriously about letting him go and replacing him.
