Why?  Because the lad is looking at the best options available to him?

If you want to take that stance we waited until he was weeks away from his contract expiring before offering him a new one.  If we were that desperate, it's our own fault. (for the record I don't think we were or are that desperate).

It's a job and a wage for him.  He would be an idiot to not try and get what's best for himself.

I dont really get why some fans get so offended if a player wishes to play for another team.

Its a job to them at the end of the day. If Hendrie decides to not take up Town's contract offer and go elsewhere that's entirely his choice. I wish him well whatever he decides. There are numerous factors a player will consider like any of us weighing job options. Money will be part of it, family reasons, geography, stature etc. Again things we would all factor into our decision if it was ours to make.

Most players dont have an emotional link to the team they play for. Occasionally you will get a player like James McKeown who has settled into the area with his family for a long time and perhaps beyond their playing career. He had opportunities to go over the years but ultimately was happy and thought it best for his family to stay put. He may have earned more elsewhere I dont know. All parts of the pros and cons.

Hendrie has been a solid performer for Town. Always 100% effort. But he's not irreplaceable. I think his form has dipped in recent times. If he stayed all well and good if he moves on good luck to him
