I've bashed this club plenty of times but we've done nothing wrong here.
Earlier, I felt Galvin hasn't done anything wrong either as it is hard for him to commit 5 years to us. That's fair.
But now, reading into the whole "don't give us an offer" BS, don't like Benji etc coming out, I have no doubt he will be "agitating" for a release.
If Galvin wants to save face, he needs to come out saying I have full faith in this club and I am committed here for the next 2 years.
That wouldn't be too hard to do... Lie if you have to but needs to say that.
The rumours, articles etc will keep coming.
DCE situation was handled very poorly by the club but DCE came out strongly and shut it all down. The articles were written for a week or so and now they're gone.
We also need to "show" full faith about Galvin to the rest of the comp. We need to show to the comp that we won't treat him badly, just because he's leaving. More importantly, any club that wants him for 2026 would have to pay us million+ dollars to release him.
If we show that, we want him gone, we don't get anything to play with. Just like Bateman, we are probably carrying a little bit of his salary because every club knew we want to get rid of him.
I hope neither party takes dog shots/potshots. Anything anti Tigers or anti Galvin comes in the media, the other party just needs to shut it down.
This can derail our season, the club has made the right decision but needs to manage the next few months properly.
