I think there needs to be serious questions asked if we don’t. We aren’t a club who can afford to waste £150,000 to see a player breach his contract and walk off into the sunset. I thought that with the Solomona saga, we’d sent the message out that we are not a club to be taken advantage of. Allowing Hardaker to get away with a very similar course of action would seem to suggest that players can simply breach their contract and go elsewhere without any kind of repercussion.
Hardaker has said of his dismissal:
“I wasn’t surprised because I’d breached my contract, so it was fair enough.”
So the player has admitted to breaching his contract (which was obvious anyway given his suspension) and will be earning a very good wage come later this year. Why on earth the club
wound not sue him is beyond me, and failure to do so would suggest the club is not running as a professional business. By not suing him, we are flushing the £150,000 down the toilet, which is not the hallmark of a professionally run club.
