I'm sure they'll be 2 sides to this story
On the pitch he always gave 100% but to sh1t out the last 2 games as our player is unforgivable. It may cost us our EPL place and possibly a cup final place. I hope he plays when they come here.
 
Alas we live in the email/text era.

Face to face chats are becoming a thing of the past.

edit: he says on an internet forum <laugh>

We do.

Having said that then perhaps someone can offer a link to something more than hearsay about this emailed contract. But first a few questions:

1. Had the player asked for an updated contract?
2. What was his sttitude like
3. When was it sent / what was everyones availability.
4. Just how involved was the player, oor was it led by his agent?
5. Wouldn't a proposed contract be sent by email for first scrutiny?
6. Do any of us really have rnough fscts to be judging?
 
******spoiler alert*******

No other club is as desperate for players as we are.

8 injured players, 2 players sold, 4 of our players are loanees, smallest squad of legitimate first team players in the league.

You know that is why there is a sense of urgency.

Who are the 8?

Odubajo, Henriksen, Mason, Davies...?

nah it wasnt him that cost us.. it was the previous managers gameplay philosophy.
there wasnt enough time to get MS' ideas through the players heads.
Snodders just wanted a longer contract.. I totally understand why he wasnt played. IF he got injured, we'd never shift the scottish fairy.

More likely down to the length of the contracts offered and the increase in their wages.
Both factors would come into play - bigger, more stable & established clubs plus better financial conditions. In this game, which typically is a short career to establish long term financial security for players' families, the sensible thing to do is strike when the iron is hot. Subsequent chances may never materialize, particularly with the ever present spectre of career threatening injuries. I don't blame either lad for what they did. While here, their contributions were excellent on the filed in the main.

Do you understand how the transfer window works? Look at West Ham with Payet. They didn't piss themselves when he refused to play and sell for 2m and a packet of crisps.

Try and be objective. They are not (I don't think) trying to sell the club. They are not restricted by cash flow, unless they wish to be. They can buy without selling. Not yet near relegation. We are all of those. As much as our owner is a twat, somethings make other things happen in a certain way.

I am being objective, as I then pointed out, Sunderland who are in just as bad a position as we are - if not worse financially - also managed to get 14m for Van Aanholt who also refused to play/handed in a transfer request.
