Quote: RDM "My initial thought about how JD describes how he found out about his contract not being renewed was that the club seemed to have been a bit crass in their handling of the situation. After reading JD's comments again, his agent (the person JD has asked to deal with contract issues on his behalf) is the one who got in touch with the club to make initial enquiries.
Once contact had been made by the agent there would have been no point in the club saying "we'll get back to you" or "we need to speak to JD directly". If the club have been open from the start of the process then I don't think there is any real problem with what's happened.
I agree that it would have been nice for JK or Ted to speak directly to JD, but the harsh reality of sports contracts is that the players appoint agents for a reason and sometimes the agent comes back with bad news.'"
Exactly right, don't think JD does his own contract dealing so he can't have it both ways.
