“Not to say that they wouldn’t have but what we had developed in 10 years we also had to look at and say are we ready to give that away? Are we really giving that up because of one club that wants to buy a franchise? So we decided to pull back. Obviously, the negotiations were a little bit rushed. We obviously had meetings and so on, but it just didn’t go as planned and we thought that it would be just a rushed deal instead of a  realistic, proper planned out deal that would benefit both parties. We just didn’t go ahead with it and we managed to just stay with our franchise and continue to develop with our players.” She continued.
