    You've got the wrong impression then.
    I'll leave the self righteous and judgemental stuff to you.

    Isn’t it the responsibility of the buying club to carry out due diligence in terms of a thorough medical to satisfy any potential issues? Rather than the word of the selling club?

    Legal action suggests we think we were misled, rather than just not advised.

    Wouldn’t a thorough medical have highlighted the area that we think we’ve been misled on?

    For me without knowing all the details, it's just part of the business. Some you win (big Harry) and some you lose.

    Maybe we should just hope he's going to be alright, eh?

    I mean in the great scheme of things.

    A
    sensitive issue of course, you'd like to think the club has sought legal guidance before taking such a stance

    The court case will only affect the clubs involved and not the player.
    Angus MacDonald is still a Hull City player and his wages are being paid.
    My suspicion is that Barnsley knew this was a long term condition and not just a temporary blip. I do feel for Angus, he has never had it easy with health and football. He was told that he did not have a career in the game when he was a Reading Academy player after he was out of action for a few months with a blood clot.
    I think that the whole transfer system needs to be addressed. Players having a medical on deadline day would not happen in any other industry that relies on fitness. Maybe a similar certification system to the one commercial pilots have.

    The current system works 99.9% of the time so the likelihood of change is unlikely.

    It sounds awful what he is having to go through, wishing him the best of luck and everything turns out well.
