There are a shed load of former players who suffer really bad injuries and never play again to any high level . They end up leaving their club , playing at a much lower level or retiring and taking up coaching etc .
It's unfortunate what has happened to Jonny , but very few players resort to that level of behaviour . You have to hold it together . He could have left in the Summer is my understanding , but no one would match his salary - the price is then you sit on the bench all season and that makes you frustrated . Doherty isn't the answer - but Jonny is not the Manager , he doesn't get to make those calls .
