Does it really matter where he has gone or why he wanted to go anyway?
Why is Willy Barthau not getting lambasted in the same way?
I would not be surprised if there was a get out in the contract anyhow'"
You miss my point. I left St Helens when I was 18 to go to Uni. I moved to High Wycombe when I was 21. I lived in shared digs for at least 10 years, and during that period I paid the same rent as my fellow sharers. 29 years later I still live down south, during which time I have hated my job, loved my job, etc, but at no point did I feel sufficiently 'home sick' to warrant walking out of a contract. I know we are all different but frankly its pretty weak.
