Signing him with no manager has caused a stir with few but what I got told yesterday it wasn't all down to the board like a Tan/Dalman signing. Gabbidon and Young despite not being the managers permanently were consulted on this signing.. there was doubts over it but Gabbidon and Dalman enquired and did take into account his court case and his behaviour at West Ham over Pre Season etc.
Was told this after one of my close friends talked to Gabbidon after the Bournemouth game and wanted to know why he went in for Ravel.
