Quote: Noel Cleal "I have said this a few times. OK saints could get a player like Ste Tyrer on a long contract and regret it. But there is nothing stopping them loaning them out if things don't turn out. Letting Players like Graham and Eastmond go on free transfers was criminal, there is no way to sugar coat it.
Back to Hock, I would be pretty miffed if I was Wigan. The club have treated him very well giving him a job while serving a ban, when many clubs would have cut and run. Then they played him for half a season with his fitness at rock bottom. When it comes to pay the club back he looks for the door. A pretty two faced thing to do in my opinion, transfer fee or no transfer fee.'"
It's fairly certain that Hock wasn't the instigator of this proposed move so disloyalty doesn't come into it, unless of course, he put the club and coach in a position were they had to act.
Anyhow, currently, he's staying at Wigan for the 2013 season and maybe some broken fences can be fixed but going on past evidence, he'll blow a fuse again at some stage. Hocky's like that nursery rhyme, when he's good, he's very very good but when he's bad he's horrid.
