Quoted from HertsGTFC


I did, remember we offered him a extension months before the end of his deal but he chose to look after himself and wait to see if we got up or not


From what I've been told, he was looking to leave Town pretty much as soon as he signed.

I remember at Gateshead, we'd been beaten in the league. Amond came into the pub afterwards and apologised for the defeat. I thought that said a lot about him. We don't know the ins and outs, maybe he has been made promises which have not been kept but I cannot think of a set of cirmumstances that would warrant such action from Amond, perhaps if he hasn't been paid it would be acceptable.

Go on Slade--ask them. What I.ve seen of Hooper as a  STRIKER it would seem  he's also on STRIKE

I always thought Amond was well grounded and reasonable from the way he spoke in interviews - but, after a while, when you start to add things up, he just comes across as another footballer who has his head turned easily.

When Amond left us for Hartlepool last summer I questioned the actions of Hurst and GTFC, thinking they were the ones at fault.

But maybe they were right. Amond left, got relegated with Hartlepool and now he refuses to play so he can get the move he wants.

When you couple that with the way he rejected our contract extension mid-season, and then ran to Hartlepool last summer, he doesn't come across as someone who you'd want alongside you in a battle - despite all his obvious abilities.

That's not the same though. He didn't go on strike!

All this slating of him and I wonder did he have an escape clause saying he could move if relegated? Yes I would have him back. As for Hooper, he did actually work hard when defending corners and such and he got no service at all on Saturday so , give the guy a chance. 😎

He asked Hartlepool if he could leave. They said no. He's brassed off about that.

He's better than every striker we've currently got.

From what I heard about his departure from Town, it's not the player you should be blaming. Hurst didn't rate him and wasn't bothered about keeping him.

Town won't re-sign him.

That's the end of that.
