As you would expect, Brockie felt cheated and left the club. Simple really.
Why should we have compensated him? The fact is he signed a contract to work for the business and was legally bound to see it out. So what if he was offered more money at another company? I don't see why the Jets should have compensated him for anything given Brockie freely entered a contract that expired in April (?) 2012, for a set wage.

This is part of the reason I'm pissed that Ryan left, he was legally bound to work for the company and he should have seen out that contract, no matter how much they were offering him. I have no issue with a club paying a transfer fee, but its up the club to accept it and if they don't want to lose a player, its their prerogative to do so.
