Reflects poorly on both parties IMO.
The club has caved into him many times but ultimately we haven’t put ourselves in a position where he can have success. I suspect he knows he has to go nuclear to get us to force him out but it’s just a shame he is using his mouthpiece mate to get the message out. Both parties could have handled it much better


Scott certainly went out of his way on 360 the other night to explain they'd upped his contract by way of remuneration.
If you want to go quickly, go alone.

If you want to go far, go together.

Zac led the group to knife Rutten. The club backed him in and moved Rutten on. And yes numerous times whilst contracted Zac has discussed leaving or met other clubs which has led the club to topping up his contract.
I think us not caving in to Draper and letting him walk instead was the last straw for Zac

You can’t have money and success
He’s needs to choose between the two
