Part of his contract meant that after a certain number of appearances, he'd get a bonus. having passed that number, Macclesfield now want him to give up the bonus! Russell was transfer listed after refusing to stand down, along with three other players.
While I find what is happening to Russell after his actions over the summer hilarious, you have to ask what sort of club gives a guy a contract that means he gets a bonus after just fourteen appearances. In those fourteen games he's scored the grand total of two goals, so clearly he hasn't been as big a loss as his mate told the Saints fans he would be.
Russell is on loan at Mansfield until the end of the year and has no idea what will happen after that. Bet you wished you'd stayed at Love Street Allan!
