| "I hadn't explicitly told him that he wouldn't be getting a contract," Smith added.
It's just not a good way to look after players. They should have given some clarity by this stage and I cant blame austin for making things happen for next year. Though I'm sure the video played it's part in the loan.

| Quote: Seth "To be honest RS seems to have sympathy with Austin in his interview. It appears they had made no decisions on whether they would offer him a contract or not for next season and that 'he was still an option' how can that be at this stage and with players needing some certainty on their personal futures. Blake youre still an option until we can find better, but they're turning up nothing on their search for a half back, and now he's made the call on his own.'"
Austin and his agent could have sorted himself a deal elsewhere for next year, hes had that option for a while

| He has, though he also stated he wanted to stay at leeds so I'm sure left it as long as he could. Why haven't leeds made a decision on their halves and whether they'd want Austin as part of that next year with only 7 games of this year to go? It's madness.

I do sort of work in PR
Look just because i don’t think everything has gone to doesn’t mean im not concerned about next year (im not fussed about this year TBH)
I personally just don’t see the point of making too many assumptions or getting overly worked up and thinking everything is bad like this happens

| Because christopher, we made a few presumptions some months ago that were pushed aside and all we're seeing is the fears being played out that we're being poorly managed.

We don’t know why they haven’t made a decision, they may well be waiting on other things, Austin takes up a quota spot so maybe that’s a factor.
Austin may well have wanted to stay but he’s gone a weird way of going about it, and made a u turn from him saying he’s happy with one year deals as well, again all said in public.

Hey Tad, Christophers faith is a good match for yours that Leeds Utd wouldnt get relegated last season. Lets see how this one plays out...

If having no starting halfbacks contracted for next season at this stage (given clubs have had months to see who might be available then make a play) doesn't concern you im not sure what would. Has he made a Uturn? He wasnt offered any deal was he let alone a one year deal.

| If Rohan does decide he's had enough after he's slept on this whole debacle, we are absolutely in at least as big a hole as after the Bulls cup match.

You don’t seriously think Smith is just going to wake up and bugger off ?

I probably dont really, though the way he seemed to have to navigate his way around the press conference to protect GH and not concede that it's an absolute mess, he may well decide the vision he had is not being matched by GH, the way he's handled this and possible lack of support on getting players in. Who could blame him if he feels undermined and it's left a bitter taste.
