It's not about being 'merchants of doom' . I like everyone else am simply a supporter and want to keep hold of our best players in order to see us play at the best level possible . When we got the Stones and Mawson money in , we should have paid our best players what we possibly could to keep them at the club . Read what Hecky has said in the Chronicle about sorting contracts out earlier and "not wanting to be on the coat tails of the top teams , we want to be amongst them" and "we have lost four players who have got us to eighth in the league" . Now that lad has got ambition . I wish some supporters were the same .
Of course he'd have played or he'd have been fined for the remaiming six months. Could have been sued too for breach of contract.
