For someone with a temperament as churchmouse-timid and as brittle as his to take this particular risk seems a genuinely very daft decision to me and as such I'm more baffled than angry about it (although don't me wrong, I'll happily applaud approvingly as he's lynched on the pitch at Falmer at half-time). Let's face it, he won't be able to show his face in Brighton/Hove/Worthing again without someone referring to him a terrible c*nt to his face, plus we know far better than the stripey nigels that something as relatively trivial as a slightly unhappy girlfriend can seriously throw his game off-line for months at a time. That's not to mention joining a team that has a) had serious money worries and b) struggled terribly on the pitch recently. Murray seems such a wimp of an individual frankly that I can imagine his agent cooking much of this up and him being unable or unwilling to think the consequences of it through properly himself. It says a lot about him, sadly.
Ah well. It's definitely a sizable but far from irreplacable loss on the field, no question about that. But far, far better than having someone who thinks they can blithely hold the club to ransom.
