I have more sympathy for Ballack ,,he was willing to take a pay cut in return for a two year contract ..agree with letting him go tho ...as far as Joe is concerned ..Im glad the saga is over ,,the club treated him well .. after injury he was given time to recover ,,but his form certainly didnt justify a large pay increase and a guarantee of starting .. as ive said before I thing he has taken bad advice ...In my eyes he has let himself and his many supporters down.
