It is nonsense. The takeover wasn't complete, it had been "imminent" for ages but on the day Walker had a decision to make it wasn't complete. The play offs and our likelihood of making them are irrelevant, he was offered a long full time deal at a time when we couldn't match it.
When someone has bills to pay and a family to support, money and security have to come before anything else. If Walker had turned Fylde down and our takeover fell through, what then? What if he gets injured whilst he's stalling on signing a deal to wait for us, can he pay his mortgage? Footballers live in the same world as us and have the same issues to deal with, you're asking them to make major decisions based on your emotional attachment to the club (which they don't share) ahead of common sense.
