Indubitably
There's nothing quite like a full vocabulary H always taken great fun out of learning and using them ,there are so many variants of the same thing and then little nuances applied .
So are you saying that loyalty equates to stupidity? Surely it depends on the moral code of the individual concerned? Either way, agitating for a move and threatening to down tools if he doesn't get it isn't behavior to be admired IMO.
Or are you just being offensive?

H surely a comma needed after H - Wingy take note !There's nothing quite like a full vocabulary H always taken great fun out of learning and using them ,there are so many variants of the same thing and then little nuances applied .
I'd accept that justification if there wasn't an improved contract offer on the table or that Reading are not just another club who might dump in at the first opportunity.Players learn early how ruthless football is
We as fans all demand the same loyalty we give but former favourite players who get injured or lose form or pace as they get older are unceremoniously dumped when the club feels they have no further use
It's even worse for young players coming through who get their first relatively modest pro contract and think it's the start of something. The majority end up disappointed when they go in to find out if it's being renewed
Only a few weeks ago the DKE twins who had been at the club since they were 8 were released in a pretty unsentimental way that surprised their team mates
Some fans welcomed this as a sign of the club taking a ruthless approach
These are people just like the rest of us and team mates see this and wonder if it will be their fate next time
I don't believe McNulty was looking for a move but I suspect that when his agent told him the deal being offered he thought of things he's seen happen to former team mates over the years
Whether they had any dealings with the transfer or not they will always be cockroaches.People are desperate for Sisu to be the pantomime villains despite the fact they played zero part in this transfer.

That may indeed be true. Best to focus on what they *do* do wrong, mind (yes yes know - existing is enough!). There's plenty of that, after all!Whether they had any dealings with the transfer or not they will always be cockroaches.
How do you know that any more than if somone suggested Joy was now rolling up £50 notes and smoking them on the Madison windfall ! SISU ultimately make the big decisions on money, let's just hope MR, can try and find a few nice littlePeople are desperate for Sisu to be the pantomime villains despite the fact they played zero part in this transfer.
Didn't Robins say the only person pressuring for the deal was the agent?Ho

bargains again though eh ?!
Nick the person putting pen to paper is Mac not his agent if he didn't think the deal was good he would not have signed it . Sorry to see him go but all the very best
Who put the offer in front of him? Who was leaking things to the press to try and force it through and pressure it?
I had a very sheltered upbringing.We obviously come from different backgrounds.

You mean like offer him a new better contract?The agents are trouble making leeches. I did hear that MM was looking elsewhere before all this happened but I hoped that clinching promotion may have changed his mind. Perhaps we could have tried a bit harder to keep him. I don't know all the details.
Agents are ratsEasy to hide behind agents and let them take the rap.

I thought the fee was undisclosed ?!McNulty will have known about the Reading interest weeks ago so would have Robins, we were told the initial bid was £500k and in the end got nearly treble that, for a player we got for nowt 12 months ago. He will be replaced, probably for much less money and possibly a better player who knows. Any money left over might help bring in better players to the squad too. I trust our manager to have his finger on the pulse and with a couple of weeks to the big kick-off we could have an interesting fortnight.
It is though to online forum folk. They always know all the fine details.I thought the fee was undisclosed ?!
He added: “It was intimated in no uncertain terms that the player would have been stroppy – and that was the word he used – if the deal didn’t go through. And I said, ‘fine, a stroppy player doesn’t play.’
“And that wasn’t Sparky, by the way, it was his agent who was trying to force that deal through, and he’s done it.
“It is what it is. It’s the way of the world. Agents move the players and they get paid. That’s the top and bottom of it.
