I think Fozzy has been one of the clubs most solid players over his time and would hope he finishes his career well, but I don't buy this last pay packet nonsense for Fozzy or anyone else. Fozzy over the past 7 years will have taken over £10 million in wages, so I don't think his family will have to worry to much about finding the electric money from down the back of the sofa.

I too would have been wishing Fozzy all the best if he had said nothing then just moved on to Watford, in fact I would be saying that he was one of the few who deserved to keep their Premiership status. However I do struggle to reconcile his move to Watford with his comments just a couple of weeks ago;

“I’m very settled and I’m sure there are quite a few others who would love to stay and help us get back to the Premier League.”
“If the worst comes to the worst and we end up in the Championship next season we’ve got to bounce back up, it’s as simple as that,” said Foster.
“I’d like to keep a core of the players that really want to dig in and work hard and be in a tough fight to get out of the Championship because it is a tough fight as well.
“It’s a really different league to the Premier League and we need to go about it to get back first time - we need to really bounce back strongly and get back to where we should be.”

The only mitigation for Fozzy and I am sort of hoping we find out that he was told that he would not be No. 1 next season, though at present Foster is still a better keeper than Johnstone.

In my old profession trust and reputation were everything and as it used to be said, a reputation takes years to build, but only minutes to lose.
