Ledley let his contract run down. He wanted a move. He wanted the money.

Cant blame him got to look after his family before his local football club.



Jones was the manager at the time and it must have been in his hands. I'm not knocking him for the sake of it, I was disappointed at the time that he seemed to fall out with certain players and was happy to let them go.

Cmon mate the managers dont sit down and do the deals. It would have been in Ridsdale hands.

I dont even blame him. For me we could never pay him what he was looking for.

I don't know how much he was looking for. What's his wage at Celtic, any idea?

If he's on that kind of money, then we couldn't afford it, fair enough.
