I agree. First of all, nobody knows why the Manager let Knocky and others leave. That doesn't stop there being some very stupid posts about it, alleging things that have been proven to be untrue. Neither Andone nor Knocky were removed for being sent off or because of player unrest. Nobody manages a squad like that. And there is no evidence that anyone other than a few 'get rid' merchants on NSC share such views.
I suspect one thing Potter won't tolerate, however, is players who egregiously and repeatedly fail to follow instructions. We know Knocky was a hothead (I remember Murray was often telling him to zip it). I saw him do some very naive dribbles, ending up easily robbed, during the latter stages of his time with us. He simply doesn't seem to have enough to sustain an EPL career, and if he wasn't doing what he was told, lovely lad and all, when an offer came along the club listened. Andone may be in the same boat, albeit maybe he's being given a second go. Who knows? Not us, for sure.
