The simple fact that any player, not just Francis, who doesn''t want to wear the green and gold should not be given the chance.  However, I doubt that his departure will be good for morale. A fairly poor pre-season build up indicates that it may take a while for us to get going again this season, although here''s hoping that we wake up a bit sooner than we did last season! Francis clearly wanted out, though why he wants to experience Premiership relegation again with Wigan is beyond me.  Let''s just hope that there are no further disruptive influences in the dressing room and we can concentrate on doing what we do best.
