Looks like Hoedt has given an interview to the WO telling his side of the story about his transfer . https://x.com/androofrench/status/1835962199782649900
Neither will I - I really don't know what to make of it. Was willing to stay and take a pay cut, but the money in Saudi is "amazing" - something not quite right there.
Smoke and mirrors from both sides. He was sold to make money and he wanted more dough. Simple me thinks.
Mike Williamson seems to have jumped the MK Dons ship to join Carlisle . https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cvgl09z0e32o.amp
Ben Wilmott scores. A rare goal for him and for Stoke from a corner . Will want to forget about the second half very quickly!
I think he retired from professional football because of all the stress when he was transferred to Bolton before he was ready to step up If he can enjoy his football at that level then good luck to him and we should wish him well If he had been allowed to stay with us he might well have built a good partnership with Deeney and been a star with us
