Thought Simons was meant to be a bit of a bastard.

Shit on it

Should do well in the 2nd division. If he can be arsed.

Could be in the minority here but I’m also not bothered he’s gone. Such a frustrating player to watch at times. Capable of scoring from nothing and his numbers on the whole have been decent, but if he doesn’t score he really doesn’t offer much else. & he doesn’t score often enough for me to make up for that.

Not blessed with loads of pace, not the most physical, doesn’t press particularly well etc. & as much as people criticised Charles for missing big chances, Collins falls into the same bracket for me. 12 league goals last season is replaceable, just need to make sure the replacement is a good one, not another Kion Etete disaster-class.

Wish him well for some good moments. Do think it’s a good move for all though. This can happen in transfers

Good Post , still feel a little gutted though for some reason.

No issues with that.

Same. Love this bit also. More dynamic and robust team? Yes please!

Of all the sock down mincers he was the one most worth keeping. Fully understand the reasons for selling and I wish the lad well. 

He doesn't strike me as Paul Warne's type of player so will be interested to see how it pans out.

Yep bang on. 

We all wanted a new manager, so let's let him manage. 

Do for me. 

Getting excited for this season. Which I haven't got for the last couple

Wish AC all the best, he's a talented lad, he's just not what we need at this moment in time.

We had all those April and May conversations about SS and co not having much leeway for change due to so few being out of contract. They are trying to cut through all that by wheeling and dealing. As I've said before, this is revolution not evolution. We had all become tired of the lack of backbone, physique and power in our squad. It's being tackled. Expect a few others to be moved on as well. 

Buckle up for a busy few weeks folks.

Similar perhaps to Rioch letting Philliskirk go back in the day , quite a bold move but turned out to be the correct decision.

£800k according to the BN.  Same as we paid. Fair enough I guess.

The waterfall song is well and truly screwed now. Funny what a difference 12mo makes.

Dynamic and Robust are the two most important and significant words in all that.

Dynamic and Robust = No fannies

Yes that's a fair parallel. Let's hope there's some Walker/McGinlay type replacements to follow ! 

Aaron Colins no more no more

Probably the only one of the army of sock down mincers we've had an offer for. Definitely best of the lot of the 10s, although that's a tallest dwarf situation.

I'll thank him for Blackpool at home if nothing else.
