I think Salim is pulling focus to the perspective of leverage to create a story here. Dude loves editorializing, and I hate it.
Like... Is Conroy owning up to gifting players some honour-bound leverage in addition to what's already in contracts? Or is he talking about dealing with the inopportune eventuality of having to trade away players that are negatively affecting his trading position? I'm reading the latter, but Salim is implying the former.
