Key Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 So we haven't got the budget to keep him then? Is that what SG is saying in that report? Hhhmmm maybe we are not as rich as we thought "Dependent on the budget" could well mean 'if we can afford better then we won't renew your contract'. We ARE Minted Aren't We!

Guest mkowl Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Football always seems to work to its own set of rules. In any other business if someone as a fixed term contract you as the employer would possibly discuss the future ie the February meeting in this case and then when a final decision was made your line manager would probably have the courtesy of informing you. It is a press story so pinch of salt time but the possibility this was the way it was done would hardly surprise me. Its like when managers get the sack and my old favourite by mutual consent, which always reads like the chap has been honourable. The bottom line is really i will go but my employment lawyer will be in touch shortly to discuss the settlement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

captain jack Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 "Dependent on the budget" could well mean 'if we can afford better then we won't renew your contract'. We ARE Minted Aren't We! We've already got Palmer Vermijl and Lee (if he resigns) who can play there, is SG gonna sign another right back? When the defence played so well most of the season? We shall see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 I've got an element of sympathy re the way he found out, but the counter argument is that he has been paid hundreds of thousand of £'s over a number of years for either kicking a bag of wind about, or reading the Racing Post in the treatment room.

Guest ben29 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 (edited) "Dependent on the budget" could well mean 'if we can afford better then we won't renew your contract'. We ARE Minted Aren't We! Exactly. We've had Buxton for the last 5 or 6 years or so. I highly doubt now of all times we can't afford him .

dumboldowl Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 The story sells more copy if it is told that way, whether it is accurate or not is another matter. The Star is not exactly renowned for it's accuracy is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notts0wl Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 You can tell from the tone that he does not sound neither surprised or offended I doubt very much that he is. Reading too much into this seems like just a badly worded article. It is The Star ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DobbinTheDonkey Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Give SG credit both probably knew he wasn't getting a contract so he puts him in bargain shop window to show other clubs he can still do a job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njh1968 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 agree, does nt sound like the way SG would operate but if true poor way to treat any of the players, whether it's Buxton or Kelhar all deserve the respect of a face to face meet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Appears that only Owls Talk is making an issue of this. Think Buxton should be allowed to stay and train with us until he gets a new club. Keeps everybody happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffjohnsonmyhero Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Should have offered him a 1 year deal, can't see us attracting many right backs of his quality He is better than vermijil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ka58 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill. It doesn't say anything about being disappointed in the way he found out, only that he didn't get a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee A Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 He is better than vermijil And Vermijl is probably better than Palmer Buxton is a cracking player and I don't think his ability would ever be brought into question, the only concern at this stage of his career, with his recent record is how many times a season would we actually get to see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theowlsman Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Buxton would've had a new contract without doubt if consideration was purely based around his ability. Sadly, his injury record was the reason he was released. Move on people, I know it takes a while, I've only just recovered from Reda leaving.

Bluesteel Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill. It doesn't say anything about being disappointed in the way he found out, only that he didn't get a contract. I didn't suggest he was. I just thought, based on that quote, that if we didn't tell players face to face it's a bit off. Regardless of whether he's bothered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adelphi1867 Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Yet another stick to beat Gray with. Give it a break and enjoy the summer. Players come and players go, that's football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
