I think we are both on the same track here with Brunell and Gibb's, obviously we can't read Gibb's mind and he's not admitting anything at this point, I do agree that he was set on Brunell from the onset in fact I had the pleasure of asking Ramsey personally about that on another site I was a little more tacktfull though, but I believe his reluctance to yank him was directly related to the major commitment financially that he made to him that's an awfully big pill to swallow in more way's than one.
