Personally I think Snodgrass has been a complete and utter cock, engineering a move away. What is the value of a contract these days? They just seem a totally pointless piece of paper amendments to contracts that allow clubs to punish want away or 'striking' players in the wallet.

I would like to see clauses put into contracts right across football that behaviour like this can see a reduction to just 10% of monthly salary. It will soon see the behaviour amongst players change, you don't want to play? Fine, you go to 10% of your total pay and you're here for another 18 months.

I said that to OLM and to say he disagreed is an understatement.

why is everyone turning on Snodders?
he had rejected our contract, cos it wasnt long enough and got a better offer at another club... the reason that he didnt wanna train, is cos he didnt want to risk an injury.
Understandable.

I wish him all the best, he was great for us. I'm not turning on him at all? It's not our fault the owners are a set of complete ****s!

Neither do you, although you seem quite happy to assume facts when it suits you. Me, I'm just going off reports by the BBC and clubs...

Erm, I have never claimed to know anything, or made judgements on the back of what we might, or might not have. I have said let the window take its course and lookat it again when it closes. Unless you can show me what facts I have assumed, I have to wonder why you make things up.
 
It appears that the 'mantle of hatred' is finally being handed over from Fraizer Campbell to Robert Snodgrass - wear it well - the song 'greedy bastard' will follow you for years - until it is your turn to hand it over to the next player who disdainfully turns his back on the great city of Hull

I think you know I totally agree, GLP. I like your udea of puting in some form of contractual clause. Could the PL / FA make it mandatory across the board for contracted players?

Any thoughts from anyone, morally, legally, operationally?

It just seems a simple idea that could limit agent manipulation.
 
So it turns out that WHU have signed Snodgrass, a player that we're led to believe refused to play anymore for City.
Funny but there still talking about Payet on Talksport and him refusing to play for them and how you don't want a player like that anywhere near your club.
Obviously it doesn't matter as long as it's affected your club and not someone else's.

Something needs to be done, as at the moment a contract seems worthless. In the case of Snodgrass - he was happy to sign almost 3 years ago for a 4 year term. Fourth year being optional. If a decision comes down to selling a player, it should almost be solely down to the club.

Too much player power at the moment. Something needs to be done so there are consequences for the player. If he doesn't want to play, fine. His wages drop to an affordable level so he can play in the academy junior sides, or not at all.

Excellent perspective. <ok>
 
I suspect Snodders didn't like the way Silva is coaching, and realised his time was almost up. Refusing to train though is a real ****s trick. We showed against Man U we really didn't miss him as much as some claimed we would. He has the odd good free kick in him, which is obviously important given our goalscoring record, but recently I've thought him a little off his game, or slower or something just not quite right. 10m is good business for him. If WH think hes a good replacement for Payet, they're ****ed.

As Lambos said earlier in this thread, Silva is a god. He seems to be getting the players he wants, within any restrictions which are naturally imposed, and for me more importantly, he's getting existing players playing in such a way that none of us on here actually recognise them.

For the first time in as long as I can remember, I genuinely think we've got a properly gifted manager. The next few days of the window will be interesting, although I wish people would stop making posts that read like they think buying players is simply a case of nipping to Tesco and getting what you want.

nopers, it was just the length of contract that was a sticking point
