Tabb was homesick as I understood it and King and his agent are hardly a moral compass to set your standard by. It gives other agents a stick to use and an easy get out for the player.
Whatever the circumstances the one thing I expect of players when they leave is not to slag off the club (ala Bellamy). You've got your move, take your money quietly and move on.
I would imagine Gunnar is still impressionable at his age, but does seem quite touchy and lets things get to him easily. Imo he needs to grow a tougher skin, which will perhaps come with age but might also suggest that mentally he isn't yet worthy of an improved deal and if he is not 100% happy then it is probably best for him and the club to part company.
We need character in the side and the dressing room. Ones who will fight harder when things are not going so well.
In short lets not use every opportunity to blame the board for playing decisions surrounding contract issues. I'm sure in part the board are culpable, but as with agents having an easy excuse it appears the fans too have an easy get out when we don't get what we want.
Like many of you I'm not a huge fan of SISU and I'm sure they are often using spin to be less than honest with us, but like it or lump it we are stuck with them until someone else is prepared to invest, so we might aswell jump on board and fall in line behind them. In fact any prospective investor may be put off if they thing we are rowing in different directions and that they are likely to be blamed for any future failings.
