Jamma: Move Was Not Just About Money

Last updated : 15 November 2004 By Site Editor
Speaking to the East Anglian Daily Times, Jamma said: “I'm not going to lie and say money doesn't come into it but that was not the reason I left. It would have been nice to have an opportunity to talk to the club, but I was told there is your offer and that is it. Respond in 30 days.

“After being here five years and being a good servant to the club I feel it could have been handled better. The bottom line was there were no negotiations and I felt I deserved better than that so that was it."

Wright was also disappointed with remarks Town boss Joe Royle made about him in a press conference held on Thursday at Portman Road:

"I was a bit disappointed with what Joe Royle said in the press..I don't want to get into a slanging match but he has made out that I left on a money only basis and that was not the case." added Jermaine.

"He chose his moment to say it and I'm a bit disappointed with him for doing that. I know he is clever at that but he knows different and I know different about what happened."

Wright was booked on his return to Portman Road on Saturday whilst playing in the White of Leeds.
