Message: [QUOTE="SUskibum, post: 5455224, member: 149"] If we get Calvin, it is in part going to be due to Fran not getting severely outbid. Fran can close the gap when he thinks its worth it because his network will give him the extra cash when Fran pounds the table. They trust Fran because of the other times guys require more money and Fran says, sorry your good not great, EVEN IF HIS NETWORK WOULD HAVE GIVEN IT TO HIM. We will never will all the battles (frankly nobody does) but when Fran locks in (like Samuel last year or McCord before him), Fran has built the trust factor to get what he needs, when he really needs it. I have absolutely no inside information, but I do work in a business where large sums of money are entrusted with others and the tie breaker is almost always transparency, trust and honesty. The easist way to break that trust is always be talking your book (boy crying wolf) and thats where Frans 'realness' comes back to us in spades. [/QUOTE]
