It was perhaps discussed in another thread but I can't find it if it was...
Article from Manny Road...
“We have agreed to terminate Andy’s contract and he has returned south. He was homesick so it was the right thing for him,” explained Dougie Freedman to the Bolton News. There was also a terse statement on the BWFC official site.
Bolton Wanderers can confirm that Andy Robinson has left the club.
The young midfielder recently joined from Southampton on a free transfer following a loan spell last season.
But after failing to settle in the area the midfielder’s contract has now been cancelled.
Now the truth.
Robinson had failed to settle in the area to such an extent that he was three days away from signing for a property that he had secured for himself and his girlfriend who was moving from the South.
It was then he was approached by Freedman and informed that he would not feature in the manager’s plans for the coming season. Robinson was aghast. There were other options available to him prior to signing for Bolton and he had only agreed to put pen to paper on being given assurances that there would be at least the chance of first team football.
Whilst the senior players went off on tour, Robinson was sent to Lancaster University to train with the development squad. He demanded a transfer, his contract was terminated and a covering story concocted for reasons that can only be speculated on.
Was this ever confirmed or denied?
