Nope, not one bit, Oswell got away because of an unwillingness to pay the money required, as did many other targets.

Allies of the board came on here making out Oswell wanted to remain part time only for him to move to Morcombe days later...

Jussi was working here for nothing and as a favour to Ricketts.

Ricketts was undermined, it's as simple as that, when Shrewsbury showed willing to pay the release clause he was simply told he could leave, no fight put up or anything. The board didn't even think Shrewsbury had the money, shows how much research they do.
