On reflection, maybe there’s more to the Blakey saga that the club knows, and hence they are/were not over keen in keeping him. He certainly complained about his treatment, when none of the other 4 did. So it’s possible that the $$’s turned his head and he used the sanction as an excuse! It’s a good conspiracy theory in any case and I get the feeling the club was not happy with him and thought his behaviour was disruptive. Totally different then to the Paps and ROK situation if this was the case.

Nevertheless , we should have screwed Norf harder!!

I get the general impression the club is not unhappy to see the back of the Lizard, even if he is a good - albeit inconsistent - player. Probably far more to this saga than we’ll ever know, and Blakey has behaved like an entitled prat throughout, unlike the other 4 players suspended.

Correct. There’s a significant chunk of the playing group peeved at him. They felt he showed little contrition and when the players that were left were throwing everything into sustaining our season, Nick was already moaning about his treatment and telling everyone who’d listen that he wanted out.
