Quote from: Risso on June 04, 2019, 04:06:53 PMNot sure what else Dean Smith could have done, he obviously tried to call Whelan, presumably to arrange a meeting, but if he wasn't around, that's not Dean's fault.I think his issue is that he says Smith told a journalist before speaking to him. He could have asked Whelan to phone back.Now obviously if he did that and Whelan didn't phone back for a week that's a different matter...

The alternative view is that if you knew that your contract was up, you'd make sure that you were contactable 24/7 to find out whether it was being renewed or whether you needed to be heading straight down to the footballing equivalent of the Job Centre.
That's the implication I got. May be wrong, wasn't sure what he would have to be annoyed about otherwise.
As I understand Adomah, Jedinak let it be known a day or two before that they were going so maybe the journalist was presuming Whelan would be off too and was calling to find out if true, in a journalist style, ie " I hear you're leaving Glen".
