Hi Kipax. I actually contributed to the thread re Steve Hollis' departure in what I thought was a very positive way and thanking him wholeheartedly for his contribution to the club over so long a period. You cannot, however, liken his situation to that of Smithy. It was clear from the start of the season that Steve wasn't figuring in the manager's thoughts as a first choice player. Jonathan, whilst not first choice in managements eyes, was still clearly in the frame to play though obviously below R.Williams. And, yes, with a heavy heart, I am of the opinion he will have to leave to further his career. I may be and hope I'm wrong but how many kicks in the teeth must the lad take before he receives a fair crack of the whip?
