Never said we forced him out. I don't think we offered him an adequate deal.
As Mazrim says it may all go tits up. But that is no different to every season. But is not the anticipation of what might be exciting. Can see no reason to be depressed. Presently looking forward to next season more than any since MONs first season. Only really tempered by the departure of GH. I really thought there was a good chance he would do well with a good pre-season behind him.

Never said we forced him out. I don't think we offered him an adequate deal.Adequate is a very subjective term, but asking for his salary to be doubled is beyond adequate in any sane meaning of the word.
Whatever the figures, we clearly offered him a deal (at the very least, it'd guarantee us some kind of fee).If the deal wasn't enough for him, that's his choice.The "alternative was being released" thing, fair enough, that's the way it was, but it's not "being released to unemployment", it is being released to a multi million pound pa deal he'll do with another club. Another club where he'll also get a fat signing on fee, as he'll have no transfer fee.
