I'm not one to hate Maddison but he jumped ship at the first opportunity, he's only made 16 starts in his career and thinks he's made it already. I don't think people would begrudge him the move had he actually given something back the to the club on the pitch.

Compare it to Wilson. I think there was an acceptance Wilson would be leaving and we couldn't hold him back, he was outstanding and his goals probably kept us up in the end that year, he was the best striker in the league and, he had nothing to prove at L1 level anymore and it was time for him to test himself at the next level and he walked straight into a team a level up.

I don't feel the same with Maddison, for all his talent he's not even proven himself in L1 yet. He's not ready for the step up, I suspect deep down he probably knows he's not ready but he just couldn't turn down the money.

13 years of development down the toilet as far as I'm concerned from a ccfc perepsective

The comparisons to Alli were laughable, Alli actually achieved something and was the stand out player of the entire league before earning his big move.

Who compared him to Alli? Don't think the Wilson comparison is fair either, Wilson was 4 years older and physically a lot more mature. They are both the best prospects the club has produced, certainly in my life time. Maddison was always going to leave as he's clearly too good for this level, and if you can't see that you really don't understand football.

Crowley said in the interview that the club needed to sell him, we needed the money. To say he jumped at the first oppurtunity is harsh.

Look in the end it didn't work out here as well as both parties wanted, but at the end of the day he's a Cov lad and he's got a big chance to improve himself at a better club, at a higher level and for probably 10x the salary. Good luck to the kid. If he listens and develops his obvious natural talent, he will be a very very good player.
