"What Stoke are asking for is bordering on the realms of fantasy," Peace told the Express and Star. "We feel our offer is a fair one."
As O'Connor has yet to turn 24, Stoke can claim a compensation fee. This, says Chief Executive Jonathan Fuller is more around the £1.25M mark instead of an "insulting" £50,000 from the baggies, in two installments!
The matter will be settled by a Football League Arbitration Committee on August 11th.
