sanmiguellight Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 <H1 itxtvisited="1">http://www.teamtalk.com/football/story/0,1...5502640,00.html Football is not for me - Supple Ipswich have confirmed goalkeeper Shane Supple has had his contract cancelled by mutual consent so he can pursue a career outside football. The Republic of Ireland Under-21 international only signed a new deal to stay at Portman Road this summer but has decided to leave the game after 38 appearances for the club. The 22-year-old said: "It's something I have been thinking about for a long while. "It's obviously a big decision but I feel that playing professional football is not something I want to continue doing as a career. Deep down my heart is not in the game anymore. "I have fallen out of love with the game and I'd always said if that happened I wouldn't hang around. "When I was younger all I wanted to do was play in the Premier League but as you grow up you realize there are other things in life and the game is not what I thought it was. People probably think I'm crazy but I'm not going to stay in the game for anyone else." Looks like Keanes man management skills are working a treat. </H1> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good on the lad I say. At least he's honest and I for one hope he goes on to persue something he loves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair play, but he's got one hel_l of a chance to set himself up financially for just 5 or 6 years work, i used to know a guy who got a 3 yr contract aged 18 for Villa he said theyd only work/train 2 hours a day 4/5 days a week!
