I must say I think some of the Leicester fans are very naive in terms of Matt Jones. The man was told quite clearly thsat there was no chance of him playing fotball again at a professional level. Now, I do not have any qualms with him ignoring this advice and continuing to train and work with the club. However, it is quite clear that all he has done is run his contract down with the club and picke dup a wage for doing perceisly nothing. It now looks as if he is going to retire as soon as his contract is up and going to stop his attempts to get back to football. If he was really committed he would continue to train on living expenses in the hope that the club give him a contract if and when he reaches fitness.
Hi Everyone, I've been a long time viewer of this forum, and really enjoy all of your comments. This is my first post. I'm not sure where you get your info from Tricky but I was speaking to MJ about his injury problems a couple of weeks back and he told me his back op had gone well. he may need one more op but it will be a case of wait and see. He gave no indication of stopping his attempts to get back to football!
I know its been said many times before but many city fans still hold a grudge against him for turning down Forest's offer of £900 per week. This would be a wage reduction of over 14k per week. Who in their right mind would accept that kind of pay cut - especially to join Forest!
I reckon all city fans should get behind MJ in his fight for fitness. Who knows, we may just need him!
Cheers
