Its really semantics. The Club could have met his demands. As it turns out the Club was right in saying they'd give Chappy 1 year only
Well! No one deserves to be put through having to re-read the interminable number of posts in the many Chappy conversations, so let me refresh your memory.
The question of whether Chappy was summarily moved on - ie given no choice as the Chapman push would like us to believe. Or whether he was offered a mentoring/development role while playing some ones or twos football -ie given a choice - was what the long conversation turned on in many respects. It certainly informed my viewpoint.
So to suggest it is merely semantics is pure poppycock. The view many took on that central question was what their viewpoint turned on and therefore was the subject of much of the discussion.
Back to this thread. SJs case is quite different in that he doesn't have the prolonged poor injury record that Chappy had and which he took to the Bombers. So I'm hoping his contract is extended albeit probably on a lesser amount. It might even include a development/mentoring role as by all accounts he has a lot to give in that sphere.
