Not personal. Dan knows that. Has a great CV and is freely acknowledged as a former AA of top order.
Dan and his management sold us something not fit for purpose not covered by consumer laws.
Natural to feel aggrieved. Good he has made first step to acknowledging it. He would have given assurances about his fitness during the due diligence process, yes? Or did he say I'm stuffed so its up to you if you want to risk millions or so .
Now has to play better than next best selection which seems to be Bytel. Its good Ratts is giving the young lad who is missing out encouragement because he will probably be winning games for us long after Dan has retired to his house the Saints built.

"House that the Saints built." Envy...much.
I usually enjoy your posts but to post pure fantasy as fact....not much.

Geez...you guys. Hope Hanners has enough sense to avoid places on the internet that allow such rubbish.
What saynta & avoid the one person who thinks his output for us has been acceptable?
I think we all have our fingers crossed for him but the fact they are crossed is sad for him, the Club and the supporters.
I said i hope he has enough sense to avoid places like this and I am sure he does but that does not excuse most of the crap posted about him.
One would be forgiven for thinking he purposely breaks down if one was to believe one fifth of the crap.
Too true saynta. I'm sure he doesn't purposely break down but I'm equally sure we offered way overs for a broken player. Again, not his fault but it's someones.
This will be one of the few times in the last ten seasons that we have actually had more than one good user of the ball under pressure in our midfield. With Hanners and Steele providing the execution skills, plus being able to convert in the forward line themselves, and Crouch also requiring opposition attention, we are a chance to actually match them in the middle.
If we can get Ross and Dunstan tagging effectively we will be on our way to controlling the corridor and, hopefully, winning the match.
Tuohy and Stewart are going to be missed by the Cats as they have killed us in the past, as has Rohan.
Somebody else may bob up today, here's hoping there won't be.

Again, true mate, but one would be forgiven for thinking it was.
If someone offered you 750,000.00 dollars a year for 5 years, would you knock them back especially if t hey told you ther medics would get you on the park?. Same as they told Freeman.
I’ve heard the whole of wouldn’t you take the deal too if it was offered used a few times as a rationalisation for what’s happened.
Given the repeated reports from various outlets that the Saints have tried to negotiate a deal resulting in a payout and retirement… possibly even some kind of coaching role, it seems that they know that the stars aren’t going to align with Hannebery
Given the end result had been a pay reduction on the final year of his contract, which again by all accounts was heavily front ended and is no doubt incredibly favourable to Dan compared to the output that they were paying him for…
I really don’t get the good will that people are saying Hannerbery has earned
If he got $500k a year for the last three years inclusive and gets just a paltry $300k for the last season… that’s $1.8m over 4 years. He’s made out like a bandit.
And he’s occupying a spot in a team with a serious depth issue, compounding the problem and stopping us from recruiting into his spot.
I don’t see the nobility at all
If I was contracted to do a job… majorly undelivered and couldn’t fix it… I’d negotiate getting paid for what I did do and make a fair deal to break the contract and exit
