I think he would have gone , Your commitee Shwarb and Leppitch made it quite clear he was off the table, you were never going to let him go .Maybe back then you guys thought you can get him to stay. Aish did not bother to make his feelings official as he was under contract. However the situation will be different for him this October! Time will tell.
Lol! Eddie has changed our demographics were full of yuppies and metro sexuals now.
The more things change, the more they remain the same.
