I have been lucky enough to meet and talk to Arko on many occasions, just a champion man in every sense of the word , but you know what , I reckon if he was about he'd be playing " hardball" with these two young superstars.
I think he'd sit them down, talk about their aspirations, how they see the club going and how much money they wanted to stay.
He'd pay them overs BUT not way overs , and I think he'd say " well guys this is the money, you know we are a successful club, and it's a great part of the world to live, here's my hand, shake it and we have a deal, walk out the door and we will withdraw from the race and look elsewhere".
Maybe it's time Penn, Kelly & Co did the same thing.
