>>Mark, is this fact ? cos it's the first I've heard of
it. Batty's book was a decent read and in my eyes he's
Leeds through and through.
I think you just made that up. Evidence please ? <<
No I haven't made it up. I'm pretty sure Huddersfield offered to take him on
loan towards the end of his last season when he was not playing - but he
said he didn't want to go. (maybe a trawl through the list archive might
reveal
a mention of this)
He was in his rights as a contracted player to do so, but it would have
saved us some money (probably not a lot, as we'd have still been paying the
bulk
of his salary) if he'd gone. I lost a lot of respect for him as a result. It
wouldn't have cost him anything and he'd have got to play a few more games
before he retired.
He may well be "through and through" but at the end he seemed to be more
intent on screwing what he could out of Leeds.
Shame. It's tarnished an otherwise superb reputation.
