NEIL HARRIS:
Neil Harris explains Lee Peltier exit
Can you shed any light on Lee Peltier’s exit?
Harris: "Firstly, great servant to the club, great to work with on the training pitch, a lot of time for Lee.
You just get to a stage with senior players when you put a lot of things into the mix. But, ultimately, we got to a situation on deadline day where Lee got an opportunity to move to West Brom, an hour away from his family home with his children, and to go to a team that’s top of the league and will likely go to play in the Premier League.
And Lee had an opportunity, contractually, to go and play in the Premier League next year.
As much as if we wanted to keep him and if he was thinking about playing at Cardiff, an hour from home, chance of Premier League football? That’s a big draw.
But Lee goes with our regards and best wishes for the future.
Was there a dispute over a contract?
At the end of the day, players with four months left ultimately decide what they want to do.
There’s a lot of thought process that goes in here, trying to have a younger group with energy and balancing that off with good lads.
Lee falls into so many categories but we got to a stage where decisions were being made on contracts, but Lee got an opportunity to go to West Brom and it was a great opportunity for him."
