So would I
Quote: Come On The Trin "That said he and Catalans should have done their homework first as he is under contract and surely both parties must have known Wakey would not have released their head coach for free.'"
They should have known they'd be asked to stump up something by way of compensation. Very disrespectful, and very poor form on their part.
Quote: Come On The Trin "Now Les Cats have pulled out JK must feel somewhat foolish.
If you were a player at Wakey would you be happy taking orders from your gaffer who you know was close to jumping ship?'"
Why would he feel foolish? He should feel angry that they don't value his services enough to offer compensation to Wakefield to get him. I'm sure he knows Wakefield have every right to demand that, and the fact that the club allowed him to talk to Catalans in the first place should make him realise he has decent employers, if he doesn't know it already, which he probably does.
As a player - I'd be more concerned about my own performances and how to improve than where my coach may be heading in the future. Players are exactly the same - very few will play for one club for their entire career. Coaches don't stay at one club either. Anyone who has a professional attitude will try and make the best out of themselves that they can. Why should anything be different?
