By all accounts what happened to Rikki was that he was offered a deal (a poor one finnancially), leaving him broke. What he was offered as a basic he could have got at a conference north club. I would think a lot of supporters on the terraces would be taking home more in a week than he was offered. So it was not that he refused a great offer. After 1 janaury he listened to other offers put wanted to see what Stanley could offer, then on friday he was asked to sign non contract forms in order to play on saturday 13th jan. He signed these but then found out he wasn't even going to be on the bench. So who can blame him.
The club said there was not enough money to offer more but can find a five figure some for a forward???
Why couldnt the club have been honest with him and say he wasnt going to play on saturday instead of getting him signing a non contract form then not playing him.
Good luck Rikki with your new team.
