In regards to the Tedesco signing Mayer is an accidental hero he played hard ball and lost but won out in the end, he may have had no choice but to play hardball due to cap restrictions. All in all he has done a decent job or so it seems, but for Farah to publicly criticise him there must have been things that he should have done differently.
Remember he did infact offer Benji a substantial contract not as much as he wanted but if he accepted I don't think we would have held onto Brooks ,Moses,Simona,Tedesco ect
Personally I wouldn't have offered Benji another contract at all we fell on our feet there, don't get me wrong great legacy and all that but too many cons not enough pros.
