Why can't we have a statement from the club, (it could be quite general and not specifically mention players names), stating how many players were owed money, what the highest amount was and what the average amount owed was. This, .....again with a more general comment on why they were unable to pay up..... would help supporters come to terms with what is being peddled as the reason for players leaving.
I find this
'leaving because they were lied to and owed loads of money' theme difficult to cope with when the club itself lets such rumors persist without further comment of their own.
After all, most of us supporters are grown up and sensible enough, (most
), to realise that in the most difficult of times, (as experienced by the club last year), businesses have to make difficult decisions and often find themselves in positions where they can only say, (even to players in this case perhaps), what is the most prudent thing to say at the time.
Come on Dick Raaz, say something about the money issue out of respect to the supporters who are now aligning themselves with your new ownership. Of course the usual knockers will jump on whatever you say, (you must expect that by now), but by far the vast majority will appreciate your openness on this matter and continue to support you.
I have more to say but will wait.
