    The Club will not be making any further comment on the matter."

    Re: Mendez Laing Contract Terminated

    He's deleted his social media, and the club have known about it for a while. I wonder if it's a police matter?

    Why ? The club have acted decisively and quickly which is good. They have already taken steps to replace him. They wouldn't just tear up the contract of a senior first team player without good reason and therefore you have to believe that we will be better off without him.

    And club stating no further comment to be made on the matter.

    A member of the first team has his contract terminated with a year remaining. I am sure fans will be pushing for clarity as to why.

    It had been noted that NML had binned his social media accounts in recent weeks. So one can only assume it's a personal matter.

    The Beeb are saying it's a "breach of contract", not that it's much to go on.

    Yes, this clearly has been a possibility at least for some time. Also the fact that he hasn't been seen in pre-season.

    while we shouldn't speculate.... it is a message board after all, my money is on steroids

    Re: Mendez Laing Contract Terminated

    WTF think fans deserve a bit more than he's gone, no further comment. You haven't got to go into the exact details but surely can say it's a disciplinary issue, it's by mutual consent due to personal reasons, whatever.

    Not mutual consent according to WOL. Club decision.

    The have said it is for a breach of contract. Perhaps there is good reason they havent gone into detail yet.

    Im sure they will have legal people advising them on such a serious matter and pandering to the whims of supporters on messageboards is of least of importance at the moment.

    Its not very often a footballer, one thats a saleable asset, gets sacked. It must be something serious.

    My prediction: He didn't want to play for us and went about it the wrong way.

    If this is just him forcing his way out then you'd have at least expected the club to try to sell him, as he'd be wirth a million or two to someone srely?

    I still think it's this. My uncle is a behavioral psychologist at the University of Western Australia - post grad. He said he noticed every time NML was subbed off there was an "episodic flare" whenever Harris rubbed his hair. To some that would seem like nothing but a manager trying to say good job / well done. To my uncle it was clear that this stirred some unhealthy hate from inside NML which he has directed at the club.
