I've made comments to the contrary in the past, but to play devil's advocate towards those commenting on "the way he left" none of us still really know the details.
None of us wanted him to go, how much was his choice and how much came from the club? We can all agree that whatever fee we got must have been substantial enough to warrant our board making such a decision.
I am not sure if I would have him back either, but if anyone can get the best out of him it is PP and NS.
I'd made my peace with him leaving, but he spends the first days mocking our new strike-force of Tom Peers.
He'd spent the first few months at altrincham taking about playing at NL level.
I'd have had no issue with him going to Wrexham, Notts County or even Fylde if they'd remained at this level with us.
Definitely fair, I know that Peers and him are good pals but perhaps keep the banter less public.
I always thought the same to be honest, thought he would be keen to play at this level as he never got the chance to prove himself with Salford.
On another note, some fantastic detective work on this thread... the return I can maybe believe, but if we were handing out full time contracts would we not offer them to existing players first?
