Pretty crazy when you think about this. Gaughan has reported he was unhappy at only starting 3 games out of 10 since the world cup.
The first game after the world cup was a month ago on Saturday. 33 days ago.
So in the space of 33 days he got unhappy, became a bad influence and then got his agent to fix him a move.
If you think that the first 3 of those 10 games we rotated heavily to ease people back from the world cup, then realise Mendes probably can't set this up in 2 days...it means he quit after being out of favour for about 3 weeks.
And in those 3 weeks he started a cup 1/4 final, a derby and a league game against Chelsea.
