Jesus, never made any mistakes when you were a kid?
His attitude stank, and he wasn't going to follow the new regime. That's fair enough if you don't want to play by the rules then on your way.
Its nothing to do with making a mistake, it shows an obvious flaw in his character to think he is somehow different to everyone else.
If I made a mistake at 18 and left a job which was a brilliant career with a company who had put lots of time and effort into my development because I thought the grass was greener. I wouldn't expect them to welcome me back when I found out the alternative wasn't that great.
Anyway he has been replaced, why should someone else get binned because he thought he was better than he was?
Fuck him, you want to make it in our academy you follow the same rules as everyone else. Let him stand as the example to set going forward.
To answer some of the previous questions Connor Brown had a very nasty injury last season and was let go. The lad was devastated, seemingly someone had a change of heart because he was offered another year.
You do have to remember that we can't keep everyone signed up, some just won't make the grade. Players are let go at the end of each season, this is just the way it goes if they aren't going to make the grade and it happens throughout their time at the club.
Got to also pick up Pup's point about Jamie Ward and Yeates. Can't see why anyone would be desperate to see either of them pull on a Blades shirt next season?
