End of the day be it personal or financial, I'm not sure why we are arguing , both are legitimate reasons to leave a football club

Both of those things may be true. We are all just speculating here.

Exactly, he doesn’t owe us anything. Not like he’s refused to play or train

Kent is a 3 hour drive away - a flight to Amsterdam is what? 40 minutes? Pay a fiver for fast track security you’re through in 5 minutes.

Well clearly not.

If Hamer has his heart set on going back to NL then unless a club from there meets our valuation he won’t be going until his contract is up.

He’s free to talk to them from January, that’s because of a rule called the Bosman rule, in case you didn’t know.

My original post was play him and let contract run out of we don't get a special bid.

I'm happy if this is what he's deciding as I think his commitment will be there. It's a risk of course but significantly boosts our promotion hopes this season

He may do, When I last moved role I spoke to multiple companies in London where salary would be higher but they wanted me in the office 3 days a week and I have a young child so I told them to do one and stayed local. Money isn't the be all and end all.

Well no as if he wants to go back and he’d leave as a feee agent the club could actually negotiate a settlement to close down his contract now so he can go home

But why would the club do that? We'd lose a year of a top player and a fee that is literally worse case scenario for the club.

Took me longer flying up to Glasgow for work than it would on the train. Was a right pain.

If you can enlighten me on how to quickly get through the whole process of flying, bypassing all the necessary checks, please do. Think some on here have never actually flown…

I was alarmed when the captain declared himself to be a 33 year old Cov fan with a penchant for ‘tugging’. Come to think of it that sounds familiar

It's quite amusing that people seem to have looked at the flight time from Birmingham to Amsterdam and concluded its therefore a quicker door to door journey than driving to Kent

How's it different to Godden living in Kent? I get it psychologically but not from a time/distance point of view.

3-4 hours door to door is the same as me getting the train to Cov from just outside of Manchester. I don't have a 2 hour working day either.

Fan of modern slavery? If it's affecting him so much he wants to leave the country then the honourable thing to do is let him join a Dutch club if his choice for a fee now, whatever that may be, rather than keep him here being miserable for a year.

Modern slavery is a bit strong Sports that involve fees are nothing like any other type of industry but the players know what they are signing up for and are compensated very well. If a Dutch club came up with a decent fee I'd be happy to let him go but not terminate his contract.

Most forms of torture don’t involve earning £1m a year but I see your point.
