So the reason we are also rans is because we have some fans that criticise and boo some players? Guess you are right. Maybe our failings have nothing to do with disastrous signings and transfer policies, and equally woeful managerial appointments we’ve made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why shouldn’t I be able to have an honest opinion on a players ability Thay is okay if you do it with every player. If anybody can say with honesty, that they slag or praise every player equally, then that would be fair enough. But I will guarantee that most people will pick on a player to slag off, but will not do it to their favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouncing Owl Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) How much has been bid for Morgan Fox? I would say in the region of £150k. He’s in the final year of his contract and the Makems will know fine well of the abuse he gets from the fans. How much do do you think we will accept? £300k? Let’s face it, we would release him at the end of next season. Edited August 26, 2019 by Bouncing Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Fox falls into the category of player, who I thought might leave, if we were to get reasonable offer. Pelupessy and Winnall are two more. I thought they might have left before our window closed, but when they didn’t, I was happy for them to stay Likewise, if we get a decent offer now, all three could go, without it causing us too many problems. Yes it would leave us without the preferred 2 players for every position, but given that we have a lot of adaptability within the squad, we could easily get by Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Snooty Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Well anyway. If he does leave I wish him all the best and hope he can go on to do what Chris Morris did at another club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, I don’t abuse our own players, I was just making a point about your post. For what it’s worth I don’t think Fox is a good enough player for the championship, and he’s way off the level of a championship club with promotion aspirations. But I do agree the abuse is unnecessary and is not helping anybody. But having a boo boy element to our fan base is not the main reason we’ve been languishing in the lower leagues for the last 20 years is it?
