Or a few games to think about the situation and then be introduced back in. Like Clough senior once said "we talk about it and then decide I was right". The management perhaps didn't want the situation being made a big deal of so told a few white lies, which as stated I don't argue with. Think what happened with Cywka and Clough junior, once it was aired the press and fans were all over it and the relationship never recovered.

I actually disagree with the player on this one. He shouldn't be talking about this to anyone but the club, his agent or his family. Hence why I thought a disclosure was justified.
