Is inspirational too strong a word? You don't see much of this kind of character about these days. Massive respect, and well done to Emery for making WHY crystal clear to him. Few more quotes from the Grauniad piece outlining that:
“He explained very, very clearly and a fair few times. The whole club were very apologetic about the situation and, ultimately, it was a situation that I couldn’t control,” Elliott said. “But I knew 100% what the case was. It was like, ‘Ok, I can get over it, I know what the situation is now’.
“It was just about me handling it and showing my professionalism. I’m not that kind of guy who wanted to kick up a fuss and cause problems, because no one really deserves that. It’s just part of football and it was a learning curve for me and an opportunity that I hope I don’t experience again. But it’s a situation where I know I’ve been able to get through it."
