Remember that club management didn't exactly do well by him at the finish, did they?
Main point is this, Mark:? I've heard no fans but you express this sort of sentiment about Batts.? I've heard no one even factor this into his reputation. Never entered my mind, that's for sure.

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. ?
