Absolute nonsense.

And before the sarcastic comments come in I know JB has a typed poorly but he isn’t Zak Hardaker

Basically not because he wasn't sure if he wanted to stay but if Wests would find a way to sign him and get rid of Hastings. We didn't get any approach from them just from Batty sounding us out earlier in season for family reasons. He used his contract as a safety net but it was just a waiting game for pieces falling into place. Also it wasn't all the staff who wanted him to stay anyway and it's not really been the bad news we may imagine that he's gone for some. It's disappointed others the way he's gone about it because it's showed no respect for ones high up who have gone out on a limb for him quite a few times and have had a longer personal relationship with him since he came to our youth set up and over his time with us. On reflection I hope it's the last time we bother with this business of re signing players it's not worked as it? I'm glad he's out of here not many troublesome players left now. Sorry if this is old news but was told second hand from a players agent.
