John just does not look interested. Strange we won't force players out but fans who are critical get threatened with bans. What do you do for a living ? Unless you're self employed, or retired, you're on an employment contract. If the company came in & tore it up you'd scream blue-murder. These guys are on a contract. One the club freely entered. They can look to sell, or buy out, but otherwise they're here till it runs out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure there is plenty the club can do to make life less comfortable for them, training with kids for instance. Then also encouraging potential buyers by sweetening the deal. Comparing footballers contracts to people in normal jobs is pointless unless you are comparing to fixed term contracts. I have worked a fixed term contract when the company pulled the project so I was not needed, we sat down and agreed a settlement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club can be as twatty as they want, but it doesn't necessarily mean the players leaves quicker. We don't know what is going on specifically, but I quite like the approach we're taking. If a player started acting the cunt, then fine train away from the first team etc, but why create ill will that could tarnish the club's reputation.

1969 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 According to twitter we've been offered Shoretire but turned it down due to the fee I would take him if it's around £50k but definitely not any more than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deanu Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 He was good against Charlton & Peterborough but absolutely invisible after that. Most frustrating part about him is he would always needlessly give silly cheap fouls away all the time out of frustration that he can't impact a match against opposition deemed a lot lower level to where he thinks he's at. I'm glad we ended up presumably paying the money for Mendes-Gomes instead because when he gets up to speed he's much more physically ready & proven at L1 level.

jmjhb Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) He wasn't that bad, wouldn't take up a squad place and be more useful than Sadlier He did more than Nlundulu yet we gave Dan a 3 year contract I'd take him back on a loan as a backup but it's not particularly a priority position right now.
