Ademola Adebambo keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Warri Wolves may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

The bid was some way short and Warri Wolves did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.
