This may also be a bit of a tactic from SOS and Trigg as well. To be fair, I think when the Prez said 'everyone is on the table' it was at a time where the club had been flogged and as a supporter group we will all calling for a proper rebuild, no quick fix etc so, perhaps naively, he was also caught up in the fervour.
At least with SOS saying 'we want to keep our elite talent',
a) It might stop a potential feeding frenzy from other clubs going after our players and keep us in the drivers seat for negotiations.
b) It might also settle the players down who now don't think they are running around with a 'For Sale' sign pinned to their backs.
