Well if his rumours are to be believed, his attitude has contributed to him not playing.
weren't there also rumours of not playing due to having a contract minutes clause also? And he must have an extremely poor attitude, and it must have changed from last year when he played a lot. Not wanting to recontract is not a reason to not play a player, especially when you've already released a striker and have few strikers on your books, and a smaller than regular squad.
Not sure the problems are all Boyd's here, until I hear otherwise. I mean in basically one of his only hit outs he's got two goals. Surely the club and manager's role are to manage talent?
