Did Pavlovic leave for personal reasons?
According to an article - 12/10/2012
Phoenix yesterday released a statement saying the striker had a "medical condition which restricts his ability to play professional football".
Has managed a stint in India, the NPL NSW & NPL Victoria leagues since leaving Wellington.
Absolutely gutted about Tratt leaving. If it's for personal reasons and family matters then fair enough - like someone said earlier, some things are more important than football.
What I suspect is that while his personal matters are being tended to, he may find he has several knocks on his door from the likes of Central Coast, Newcastle, WSW - clubs who can dangle that carrot of being relatively close to a family base, clubs that have a number of spots opening up during the off season, and clubs who will probably chuck a bit of cash at him based on his performances for us this season.
Our situation with no one really being told anything much surrounding their futures with the club probably made it easier for him.
Good luck to him, would take him back anytime, but I suspect he'll be lining up against us next season.
