I largely agree. Apart from the last sentence.Because then Trac gets to dictate the circumstances after having committed to a club for the long term. He signed a contract, he needs to build a bridge, a tunnel or a bi-pass and get over, under or around it!
The clubs keep allowing these long term contracts to be broken, and that has created this whole contract fiasco...
If he doesn't live up to his contract (i.e. indulges in de-stabilising behaviour) then sue his arse!
If a good player wants to break a contract (that THEY signed), it’s become oh-so-easy.
The old “I want to be close to family” story never seems to be an issue when they sign on for mega-money.
We did the right thing with Papley. It took a bit of courage - and I’m still to this day grateful the club showed some backbone. I’m amazed more clubs don’t follow suit.
