So I gave up my contract. I'm no mercenary, but neither am I a saint
Newsflash: apparently not all footballers are mercenaries. That was the conclusion last week as Mido signed a deal with West Ham for wages of £1,000 a week, and I renounced a clause in my own contract that guaranteed me a one-year extension next season. Does that make us altruistic? I'm concerned that might be the message – and the expectation – coming through in those reports.
