Harty said:I like many others was pissed off at the time but speaking to Barry Lloyd many years later the club were actually prepared to let Saunders walk away scot free just to get his then high wages off the payroll. So actually Baz got 50grand more than Bedson and Co had budgeted for.
As for Tiltman getting picked before Saunders, another boardroom decision, Saunders was on appearence money, the Albion were all but relegated, so to save money Tilts got the nod.
Will talk over the good times with Baz on the way up to Derby saturday as he's the first SCR summariser.
