I've only ever had good experiences with Troy, oh well everybody to there own! 

Me too. When my son was little he loved Troy Batchelor, and always got a good response when shouting "TROY!!!" at him.

Troy has generally been exemplary with fans & sponsors, he's getting something out of it i.e. money & an ego rub.

The issue is he's always been difficult with those that employed or managed him because they wanted something from him. 

He's never been one for giving his 100% to the cause.

He should pick up rides in both Leagues once the dreaded injuries start kicking in.  Will be sort after I’m sure, so should be able to demand decent money.

If he's exemplary with fans then that's good enough for me.

Burned too many bridges I think, too many times he has let clubs down, and not simply by having a bad night, but just just giving up and not even making an effort, whilst no doubt still drawing a wage because promoters are dumb enough to pay a downside guarantee to him.
