How anyone can be mad at him is beyond me, except perhaps the timing. However, is anyone surprised? This comes at a mine when many fans have always decided to "leave the club" with attendences at their lowest since the expansion. Any other player fed up would have left years ago (eg Jenas, Milner). But he has stuck with us until he couldn't bear it any longer which is fair enough given our current state Good luck Shay, you deserve far better.
