Ritchie Jones Was A Waste Of Time?

Swindon Town Boss Maurice Malpas has revealed that he ended talks with Ritchie Jones because he showed a lack of urgency to join Swindon Town.

Jones put pent to paper on a contract with Hartlepool United and Malpas revealed that the club withdrew their contract offer because the player showed no commitment or ambition to join the club.

Speaking to the clubs official website Malpas said, ‘All I will say is that he showed a lack of urgency to come here and that’s not the type of player we need here. He didn’t get back in touch and that’s where our interest ended.’

It seems another player from a big club thought he was bigger than he was and thought the club would wait and come begging for him to sign.

The attitude and manner in which Maurice Malpas is conducting himself is exactly what the club needs and for one, I applaud Malpas’ attitude.
