Not seen Nicholas/ Merson but from posts can imagine the rubbish being spouted, and as for Jason Cundy covered on here many times his 'refuse to play' etc was a disgrace the other night.
I am absolutely with Bobby in his do we only have contracts for when players are injured/ struggling? He was happy to sign for five years, and while we prob expect it to not last tha long realistically we are right to expect more than one year. His last words on the subject were how happy he was before the first Chelsea bid, a couple of weeks before the season started, so his head was obviously turned by various people.
My big issue is with the anybody would take a tripling in wages/ career opportunity, if offered which is the most common defence for his actions in his transfer request and I do understand that.
HOWEVER, a week before the close of the window?? Now we are continually told footballers are more professional than they ever have been, well lets compare to other 'professions'
Does a surgeon walk out on his patients a week before planned operations because he has a better offer from a job in London?
Can a lawyer drop a client halfway through a criminal prosecution because soMe gangster in London has offered more for his services?
Jesus I am only a teacher, and have to give notice by May half term if I want a new job in September. I can't just go t my head now andd say sorry won't be in on Tuesday 1st start of term as I have been offered a better paid job in London- sorry if I have left you in the lurch - never mind eh?
With your pay comes a level of responsibility and moral conduct, yes be tempted but only leave when you know your employer is able to cover you and replace you. That is professionalism.
