A little insight -
I'm surprised that Southend are so "disappointed" with Leons departure! The Seasons top goalscorer wasnt approached about a new Contract til the day before the close of the season - hardly shows alot of confidence in him when alot of the other players, namely Smith & Juppy were all in negotiations alot earlier...
Leon was offered a £200 pay rise - no other incentives no thanks for scoring 25 goals, no thanks for helping to keep Southend from relegation! After outlining what he'd like to earn Leon waited for them to get back to him... they didnt.
Meanwhile someone offers some security - a better deal - even better than what Leon had asked Southend for??? What would you do??
Leon had a great season at Southend and would have stayed for the sake of the fans if nothing else - Though not all of you have always been behind him! Lets look at this logically... Leon kept Southend in Division 3 last season and is expected to accept a Contract that holds no incentive or confidence in him as a SUFC player.
