It’s hardly a straw to clutch when Matlock have stated he has returned, meaning he had left, when before it wasn’t stated that there was any need for this and that he had committed. It may be that he had an informal agreement that he was coming back afterwards, but given he did leave for a bit and there was no way of anyone (like MTFC fan) knowing, it’s hardly nonsense to have previously interpreted him going as not fulfilling what was stated.
Mtfcfan stated that the club claimed Montel had committed, he left, no-one knew about the outcome of any new negotiations until more recently.
