Cant agree with that. He is currently under contract , being paid and a better player than Dawson. If KC did drop him for that reason he has/is making a serious error imo. Given Walsh hasnt taken up is option of a 3rd year yet should the same rule be applied to him?
A LOT depends on what is being said in contract negotiations and the general attitude of the player over them. Given that Jones was a regular for a considerable period (and turned in some very strong performances for his age) my guess is this has nothing to do with form or ability.
It's a similar story to Foster, Gaskell and a host of other juniors who have run afoul of the coaching team for one reason or another.
