My read of it is that the story got out in the press, forcing the club's hand so they had to announce it earlier than they wanted to. Let's be honest, there was no benefit to the club in announcing it when they did. I'm sure there are other done deals which we haven't announced.
We should have spoken to leigh and the player before the official release but it's hardly a major issue.
As for his statement, probably between a rock and a hard place with derek, his fellow players and the fans. What else is the guy supposed to do?
