Lee Peltier

[LeningradCowboy]

Neil Harris was asked about Peltier at the pre-Wigan press conference this morning.

He half dodged the question about whether there had been a falling out and contract dispute - but did say that Peltier jumped at the chance to sign for West Brom, that West Brom will almost certainly be promoted, and that he would therefore be playing back in the Premier League next season.

When West Brom announced the signing on their website they said it was a short-term deal to the end of this season.

None of the journalists (!) challenged Harris on what he said - but there has either been some misreporting or our manager has glossed over the deadline day departure with a dollop of spin and misinformation. He puts a lot of store on his honesty - with the players and in press conferences - but this does not sound right.

Disappointed.

But he didn't quite say that, did he? He said that Peltier had an "opportunity" to play in the Premier League next year.

By signing a contract that only runs up to the summer? OK.

Well he has an opportunity to earn himself an extension for a club likely to be playing premier league football next season.

What did you expect him to say? Yes we had a bust up and we don’t like each other?

Peltiers been in the game long enough to know how it works. Some managers rate you, some don’t.

He was a good servant but he’s hardly Cafu. Timing was right. Time to break up the old boys and new manager putting his own stamp on the squad.

That first goal on Wednesday night doesn’t happen if Peltier was playing. Lovely play from Jazz in the build up to Adomah releasing Tomlin.

I don't see the point being raised being about Peltier. Harris has been overly criticised but if he sets his stock in being upfront and honest then this is an example of where he hasn't been, even if the correct decision was made.
