I don't think it's as binary as what'sbeing made out. If the rumour doing that rounds is true that the club were happy with the results but unhappy with the quality of football then MM would be entitled to say what do you expect when I have Butcher Harkes Pawlett etc to choose in midfield, I asked for player X what you gave me was "Premiership ready" Hoti.

I think MM was committed, I think he just got gradually disenchanted and in the end thought stuff this I've got an offer from Tranmere, I'm off.

Managers of clubs talk to other clubs all the time through unofficial channels as do some players.
