If you think it's fine for Cahill to go on a free, that's fair enough, and for footballing reasons it's obviously preferable. Unfortunately, your club is as much a business as it is a football club and that ?10m is a lot of money to lose just because you're trying to skank a few million more. Coyle might have an extra year to find a replacement, but he's also got ?10m less to do it with.
I've never said you were the bad guys, either. Well, you're not the bad guys for not accepting the offer, anyway, you're perfectly within your right not to accept it. It's kind of a dick move to then go to the press moaning about the offer though, and not really the kind of behaviour you'd expect from respectable businessmen.
