"Tonight, and the last 48 hours have broken my heart to see how the football world you love so much can be so cruel to you. To have something promised to you, to have been dragged along on an emotional rollercoaster, and to be toyed with until the final minute. To have four and a half years of your life promised to you, travelling, medicals, agreements made... promises made."
"To have prepared to move your entire life, our lives 100s of miles away in the space of a few hours. For it to be torn away from you at the last second, with absolutely no explanation. Going from everything - to radio silence, no phone call, no communication and be left, broken hearted with nothing but confusion, has hurt more than I can say."
Dwight McNeil’s proposed move to Crystal Palace collapsed on transfer deadline day after the deal appeared close to completion. His girlfriend, Megan Sharpley, described him as being dragged along an emotional rollercoaster and said promises of a four-and-a-half-year contract, travel and medicals prompted preparations to relocate. The final-stage breakdown left McNeil without explanation, experiencing no communication and feeling broken-hearted. Sharpley called for fair treatment, respect and industry protections, saying football should not toy with people’s emotions. She said McNeil will remain at Everton and focus on his football, while noting his support during her earlier major surgery.
