Few words from Joey here. From reading that, I'm not sure who's the biggest arse out of Clement and Joey. He seems arrogant in this interview but then it was senseless from Clement to leave it that late to tell him

Don't think Joey comes off as particularly arrogant here, but he is Dutch, and they don't pussy-foot about. He's just saying what he thinks. Interesting how he reckoned training under Scott Marshall was better than training under Clement, who is supposedly a good coach - I'd say he and Clement never hit it off, and he wouldn't let a moment pass to put him down, but at the same time, a little bit of an insight.
Don't know whose decision it was to try to move him out, and I'm not saying it was the wrong decision in itself - but he's quite right, should have been done way before pre-season started. Give players a chance to find something else.
It should be possible to move players on without being a d*ck about it - I'm not surprised he dug his heels in, and basically told them to honour the contract, that it was their problem, not his.

Don't get me wrong - I get his viewpoint completely. Where I take offence is where he says "this was my best contract ever". You may think that in private but you don't say it
And let's be honest, Joey and running didn't really come hand in hand so naturally he would have preferred Marshall's training methods
But as I've said before - I always liked him and considering Meyler (his replacement) has been an absolute disaster, I think it was the wrong decision in hindsight. Maybe not at the latter stages of the season with Baker and Rino, but certainly up to January where the midfield continuously struggled

Not sure what is wrong with is comment in the context it was made. Why should he be forced to walk away from his biggest pay check of his career ? Lower level Dutch football doesn’t pay great wages and hismove here would have been significant in terms of his long term future. Nothing wrong with him defending his livelihood.

Yep, I can see why the comment might be thought of as blunt. But I'm at a loss as to how it is arrogant. Also, unless the club actually comes out and tells him that he is surplus to requirements, even if he thinks the current manager won't play him, that doesn't mean it's down to him to start looking for another club. There was no guarantee, that when he came back for pre-season, it would still be the same manager!
It was badly handled. Whether that was down to Clement, or Tevreden, or someone else, we don't know. (They may have been the messengers, rather than the decision-makers).

He didn't come over as particularly bitter about PC, but just matter of fact - why would he throw away a great contract when it was the last time he'd earn any decent wage in his career? Who would?
by Hound » 13 May 2019 13:21
URZZZZ Well I don't know about him but I'd rather play and earn less money than not play and earn a bit more, I'm sure he could survive on a lower wage, just like most of the rest of the population does
