you do remember who "Bet" used to be?

Yep bit sad really

And thats the extent of your arguement?

Its not about the players at the club, its about the support net work for his family. Manu spends a lot of time with his family in west yorkshire at events with others SSI'ers and Kiwi's. Most of them are eother OOC or moving clubs.

I assume, by your comment, you have not lived that far away from where you live now? People decide to leave their home environment. give i a year or two and assess the situation. For Manu and his familiy it got better for the social side of things. Now its taken a turn for the worse and he would rather keep a happy house hold and surround himself with "his people".

Its not that difficult to understand. As I mentioned, if it was a money decision, he'd have stayed at Hull

Unless Saints offered him more money, in which case he'd have gone there.

I find it a bit strange Hull put Manu on Airlie night. Why not one of the new players like Pitts or Watts.

Why is there every chance he is? By saying every chance you are saying he is definately lying.

Regardless of the why, Manu doesn't "owe" us anything. We employed him to do a job which he has done very well and very professionally. He hasn't done anything wrong and actually gave us his best years. I'm gutted to see him leave but regardless of the reasons he has my best wishes and thanks for his efforts during his time here.

You're certainly right that he doesn't "owe" us anything. He's been a stand-out player for us for many seasons but a little honesty would have been nice. The old "family reasons" bull$hit is not what expected from him.

He wanted more money elsewhere and doesn't think as highly of our club as we might have liked him to.
