All clubs put up smokescreens all the time to cover up what actually happens. Pearce and Bullard homesickness are two examples.
There was more to Morsy and Colclough leaving ‘for experience’ than we were told but all clubs do this rather than show transparency.
If us fans really knew what went on behind the scenes we would probably all go in to overload. Many times it can be players throwing their toys out and their own personal demands and in many cases this coming after being courted by an agent. Sometimes it is a manager that just doesn’t get on with players or moving them on is more diplomatic than a disciplinary but whatever a little more transparency would explain some of these weird decisions.
