Very cynical Griff
To be honest I suspect (if its true) that the reason’s for it are part money & part realising what’s best for his career at this point.
He seems to have a very level head on his shoulders from what little I know of him. He turned down tentative advances from Arsenal to stay at Hamilton & when Liverpool came in with a firm offer he turned it down coz he realised his career would best be served by playing regular first team football at Hamilton coz he wasn’t ready at that stage to be getting it at Liverpool & he’d be playing reserve team football.
When he eventually decided to leave there it was a few years down the line, when he felt ready to play english premier league football & he chose a club where he thought he’d stand a better chance of regular football & where he knew some of the staff – I doubt Latics offered him more money than Wolves
If he has a realistic view of his abilities at present as the above seems to indicate then he’ll know that he’s still not ready to command a regular first team place at a big club whereas he’s guaranteed a start & its not as if he’ll be short of a few bob at Latics anyway
So I doubt very much whether its all about the financial side of things coz Liverpool probably would pay him more, but I also doubt whether his decision would have much to do with loyalty towards Bobby or Latics & be more to do with a realistic view of what’s best for his career at this point
