Is this a smoke screen?
Al being called up was on the Official site in positive terms for a few days before being taken back down.
However the one person I do still believe at the club is Aidy and he clearly isn't happy.
The whole Al situation seems very strange. He always came across as very humble and grateful for everything. What is now being reported goes completely against all of that.
Sent home from the Austrian pre-season trip when he should have been challeneging strongly for a place in the first XI. Not turning up for a reserve match and then going off to play International football.
Now, fair enough, International football is a big thing. But something about Al playing for the country he was so fearful of returning to just doesn't add up. Granted it was meant to be his Dad's cult he was most concerned about and also he is only playing away matches for Sierra Leone. But I still think if you'd been through what he's been through you'd want to avoid the whole set up completely.
The club stood by him and supported him so willingly during his battles with the home office and, of course, pay his wages, whereas his country couldn't even protect him when he so desperately needed it to. Who would you rather play for?
I think he's being very badly advised by someone. Maybe an agent who sees the current financial plight of the club and fancies getting some of the money from our January sales.
Either way, Simpson must be grateful for the diversion.
