Being ethical in your dealings and being competitive should not be mutually exclusive.

It's one thing to understand the letter of the law, and another to understand the spirit of the law. Failing to understand the latter usually brings its' own karma at some point.
Especially when the shoe is on the other foot, as will happen.

Your name (reputation) is literally the only thing you really have, apart from your memories.

A player who breaks contracts does not have my admiration, and can expect a similar lack of trust from others.

Wigan should be entitled to some compensation . used to be a transfer fee back in the day . Hard for any professional outfit to plan or general team stability when some players adopt quite fickle mindsets . Guess that George Williams has done something similar recently but also hardly ideal and fair to a club and their supporters unless some really compelling circumstances ' .

"He just wants to do what's best for his family" is always a good one. No one game to call BS on it.
