Quote: Keiththered "There has to be agreement on both sides to end a contract early whether this is at the behest of the player or the club. As you do not know the circumstances behind the discussions how do you know if people are being honest. Rather than make general statements say who you think is being dishonest and why. Be careful though as there could be legal implications. It happens all the time with all clubs. Circumstances change and sometimes contracts are renegotiated. You just seem to be using the situation to have a dig at all and sundry.'"
I feel a a supporter we are being let down by players that we pay part of there wages I am not having a dig as you put it at all sundry but at players who sign a CONTRACT for a set period then ask for a transfer before it is finished? in some cases it benefits the club as they get transfer fees for the said player. As Bret Green going to Wigan when part of his transfer fee helped pay for Travis Burns first years wages.
But if we get £100k from. Saints where are we going to get a replacement better or even as good as he has played this season at short notice when most of the dealings for next year have been done. With regard to contracts being renegotiated yes some do but mostly for the better of both parties not just one side of the agreement. The biggest culprit in all of these negotiations are the agents who undoubtedly whisper in there clients ears about other opportunities, not for the good of the player but the money they can make out of it.
I think I have said enough on this subject as far as I am concerned I have made what I believe is a fare comment and stick by it you may think different that is your right I respect what anyone has to say but nothing will change my opinion of players and agents who act in such ways

Ok Josh is another one I am a great believer in being honest as supporters we pay hard earned money in following this great club and to see players in my mind take the urine out of us by not seeing out an agreement the club now have to find three more players for next year than they thought they needed to. How would the players feel if the club sacked them for not producing the goods with a year or so to go on there contracts they would be at the solicitors office quicker than some of them run on the field.'"
