I think there's two issues here, why he wants to leave and how he's going about it. Personally I think he wants to leave because of his relationship with Koeman, who I don't think has handled the situation well. If that's his reason I don't have a problem with it.

The second part of this is how he's going about it, which is deciding to run his contract down so the club will either get a small amount of money or none. That I do have a problem with and it really doesn't reflect well on him as an individual and as an Evertonian. The reasonable thing to do would be to agree to extend his contract for an agreed transfer fee. Both parties then benefit, Ross gets to leave and the club get reasonable compensation. It's how he's going about it which is the cause of people calling him a rat.

He very nearly signed for Chelsea, not the actions of some who is running down the contract. I agree with most of what you say thogh

The fact is he didn't sign for Chelsea be that by design or by default.

I personally am sceptical of every thing that happens in football. I tend to think the worse of everyone for one thing is for sure there is very very limited loyalty from those that are employed and that includes both managers and coaches.

It's very easy to manage a story or should I say manipulative a story in reality we know very little of what is actually being said or what is happening.

The 2nd point I disagree with only because I'm not sure he's deliberately running his contract down to make us lose money.

Agreed, but he's not helping us make money by signing a deal so we get a fee though. Not necessarily his job to get us a fee of course but, if he was leaving only because RK wasn't nice to him, then there's no reason not to help out the club.

this is my point all along. We have totally written Ross off as a rat but have no idea what has happened. Same in the past with Stones, Rom and now Kev.
