McClean hits out at 'incomprehensible' Derry treatment
Derry City player James McClean hits out at his treatment by Derry City amid an ongoing contract dispute with the club.
James McClean, the 37-year-old Republic of Ireland international, has expressed his frustration and incomprehension over his treatment by Derry City football club amid a contract dispute. In a statement released on the Professional Footballers Association of Ireland's website, McClean described the club's attempts to terminate his contract as incomprehensible, stating that he will decide when the right time to retire is.
The 37-year-old insists he is fit and available to play when called upon, despite being left out of the squad since July. McClean apologized for some misjudged actions but stated that his frustrations should have remained in-house. Derry City has allegedly attempted to terminate McClean's contract due to persistent injuries, which the PFAI stated is a dangerous precedent for the league. McClean maintains that he is capable of contributing and giving his best in the League of Ireland.
