Strange decision this for me... I can only assume that somethings been going on behind the scenes.

I wouldn't have singled him out for particular criticism. I don't think he has been any worse or any better than anyone else.

If you think about it though, we might be spending more on him than others and he is taking up room on the cap so if he isn't making a significant contribution he is easier to offload than, say, someone who is a local lad having a bad patch.

Sounds like he was too busy working on his Cabaret act!

Ford is an ideal example of our poor recruitment policy over the years. He is a Centre and not a fullback. Playing a few games in a position, when necessary, does not mean you can do a fulltime job there. I was concerned about this when I first heard they’d signed him as a fullback. It seems I was right to worry. PC needs to explain his thinking here.

I agree, but its not normal for a club to publically tell a fairly high profile signing they need to find another club and they will not selected again. Sounds to me more like Cullen has got a problem with his effort/attitude rather than his ability.
