A good read. A classy article from someone who seems like one of the good guys, a really nice bloke who genuinely loved the club and city. The debate about Chris Blight the player has been done to death but it was a pleasure to have someone with the ethics, values and love for the place that Chris has play for the team I love, in what is becoming a very mercenary like culture in sport.
Personally I hope this isn't the last we've seen of him in Cardiff.

A very classy article.
Its a real shame Chris has for whatever reason been moved on. I always thought Devils were a better team when he was in the line up although he often fell under the radar due to the goals scored by his linemates. It would be nice to see him back in the future but can't see it under the current regime.

No doubting Chris loved the city and playing for the Devils. And a very classy acknowledgement of sponsors, volunteers and fans.
However, whilst it's understandable given the circumstances, that he was never going to acknowledge BP in his gratitude list...what about all his team mates? Don't they deserve some thanks? A glaringly obvious ommission I would say.

But that article was written for the fans, I doubt if any of the players read anything produced in the Echo anyway. If you were a teammate of Blight I'm pretty sure that you would already know his feelings and gratitude and there would be no need to make that public, the fans however wouldnt have. (Unless they are one of the many who stalk the players on FB and twitter and think they're buddies!)
Seeing as the only Devils staff outside of the playing staff (who, no offence, I doubt would tell you anything) are pretty much Ragan, Elson, Pope & Agland and you've narrowed it down to one of them, that is an incredibly wild accusation of unprofessionalism that one of them had told you of things in the dressing room. Either way, I'm sure whichever one of them told you or Chris himself wouldn't want you posting such things on a forum whether what happened is right or wrong.
Whilst I am very much of the opinion that our players haven't been treated in a professional manner, that is completely an opinion based on what is obvious, such as timings of sackings etc.
But what I would hazard a caution with is thinking the players are feeding the fans with information which I think is far from the case. The amount of fans who claim to be in the know and friends with players is hilarious most of them are the usual people on Facebook and twitter kissing their ass calling them bud, mate etc like they've been friends for years is beyond. The people who genuinely have been told by players about treatment etc would have enough respect for their confidentiality to know not to put it on a forum or social media. At least that's if they are a true buddy :lol:
