From what I recall, the Donny fans weren't too enamoured of Crooks either in his spells there.
If he has the big fish mentality, he'll always be the Richie Barnett Jr or Kevin Penny of this sport.
It strikes me that he's been getting bad advice from his father and not taking the advice of his employers.
Get rid.

His father is right behind FC on this one (he's still on FCs payroll as club ambassador btw), so lets not peddle things that aren't true. The driving force behind this is his agent and himself. |

Unfortunately thats the problem with many agents involved in sport, whilst their job is to get the best deal for their client they often go too far trying to get the money up'd (more often than not for their % increase) and end of costing the client a decent deal.
If this is definitely the case then Ben has been a fool to himself and he should have knuckled down and build on the season he had to increase his worth not destroy it. |

| Quote: fc-eaststander "I've been told, he has told the club he does not want to play for fc again and has asked for a move but none of the big clubs in England have shown any interest so he has asked his agent to try and get him into a club in Aussy the Eels I believe Shame I think he will be a cracking player one day but it has gone to his head last year, and he thinks he is ready for big money and all the trimmings now instead of serving his apprenticeship so to speak and developing himself and his game further, we only want players at the club who are 100 per cent committed to fc so bye bye and good riddance to anyone who does not want to play for us I say'"
You have to wonder why he doesn't want to play for FC anymore if that's the case. He might find after 6-8 games next season he wants to play for us again. |

|  tackling ... yes there is techniques to tackling but there is more to it then coaching,if it was as simple has coaching you would not see the amount of dodgy tacklers throughout the game.Crooks defence has always been a problem but its not all down to his defence why he is not playing.Sadly Ben sees himself has a super star and although he has great potenial,super star he is not.He needs a new agent or he will vanish |

Indeed they are.
Just as the fans are entitled to comment on the silence.
As Mrs B says an official announcement is in everyone's best interests and the sooner the better.
