Whilst you are on another blatant trolling mission I agree with you in part. The club should have handled it better. When he was refusing to sign with us, the club should have set a deadline. That avoids any linger doubt as to whether he's staying. When it was clear he was off and didn't want to know, why did he play? IMO they played him to give him a hard time with the fans, to punish him. They must have been able to see where he was at from his behaviour in training? Take him out of it, we probably wouldn't have lost those opening games had we handled it better.
Nice theory for an ideal world.
So you give him a deadline and he ignores it. What are you going to do - sack him? For what?
Or do you suggest we say "we are not going to renew your contract when it ends"?
Either way it would be pretty idiotic.
Having said that it was not handled well by he player which caused a backlash against him. I dont think the club did much wrong.
