    at least they aren't ignorantly slating us for doing the dirty or tapping him up

    they are aggrieved at the board/manager letting him go, the player and possibly the hierarchical state of modern football, all i would understand in letting one of our own move on to pastures new

    Andy Gray is a ......

    We kick-started his career when he was languishing in the stiffs at Sunderland and he can't wait to leave us.

    It is the refusing to play tomorrow scenario that I can't get my head around.

    F*ck him

    True Ledge, it does leave a sour taste when players "refuse" to play.

    However, from his POV, he'll be getting a nice chunk of the transfer fee as a sign-on and he's doubling his money in what will probably be his last big move.

    As a result, he is probably terrified of getting crocked playing for them and scuppering his last pay day and setting himself up for life financially.

    Right, Ormy.

    Plus from a late-ish career move, he probably sees Charlton as a bigger club and a better vehicle than Burnley to win promotion back to the Prem. And one last stab at playing in the Prem to prove to himself that he's still good enough to do it.

    So, from his perspective, last chance saloon for a number of professional reasons.

    It might make him a hungry player if he has the drive and ambition.
    Let's hope so.
