Ireland, Petrov, Benjani have all made comments about the state of play behind the scene and how players are money motivated, how there's no trust / stability anymore etc.
I know they're probably bitter about leaving such a fantastic club who are on the brink of success and not being paid as much at Villa, Bolton & Rovers but surely there is no smoke without fire?
The other thing that causes me confusion is that surely if this is the case, why did the club not insert confidentiality clauses upon their departure and pay them to shut the hell up? It does the club no favours when they blag to the press and add fuel to the fire for them to slag us off.
Thoughts?
