There are never any guarantees but this 4 horrible contracts is a paranoia driven worst case scenario rather than a realistic prediction.
Of course it's scary, any time you trade a player as good as Marner it's a bit scary, that's a given. To me, committing to him for another long term big bucks contract is more scary, that's all. A lot more scary.
Fair enough, "shamed out of town" just seemed a bit over the top to me. I assume Marner is trying his best, no shame in that so I thought shame was a strange word to use to begin with. He plays so well like 95% of the time or so, it's just that the 5% when he disappears are the most important games, I can't recall seeing anything like this before. But yeah, I'm sure he's trying so no shame, just one of those things.
