I think that demonstrated to MON that we were never going to be a big enough team in the prem to accomodate such potential, which possibly led to him leaving us for Celtic. Maybe if Heskey had stayed it would have all been different
Well, we offered Heskey more money than Liverpool did. It was the case of Heskey wanting to go to Liverpool, rather than us looking to sell him. Heskey was liverpool supporter aswell so it was a dream move for him.
Same with Celtic - I think we offered more money for O'Neill to stay at the club than Celtic did. But it's a case of moving to a club they support.
