Let them go if they want to try the Australian experience but there must be no way back if they get crocked.Players will come and go and if it's a case of better wages then who would blame them if they were to leave.
I think it's much fairer to scrap marquee player idea and give a big payment to the player of the year voted for by the fans.Back yourself!!!,pull your tripe out all year and you could end up very well rewarded.

I only hope that if players are to leave the club says so sooner rather than later,it’ll settle everyone down including the players themselves.

It's really no worse than mere mortals like us taking a three or four day sickie and fitting in a few job interviews, I suspect most of us have done that.
We've also got to accept that players these days are mercenary where earnings are concerned. The days of players like Sean O'Locklin, Paul Wellans, KFC, etc who turned down big money to stay with their home town club are long gone.

Nail on the head. I like your posts cherry good balance views. Cant see for the life of me what the hell is going on and why we seem to not only shop window our players to aussies we litterly ram them down there throats.

If their boss tries to pimp them I can't see owt wrong in them doing it themselves. Doesn't mean I'm happy with it though.

So that when they fail IL can buy them back cheaply after they have failed.That is supposed to appease fans that we are signing players rather pay some money for top players.
