mcmigo Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Said it earlier, I think Fox will eventually sign a new deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watto Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I reckon Fletcher came on and felt something wasn't right,can't have been 100% and I imagine this was why he left the field after 2 mins Saturday. Gave his all this season and was our main man, his goals and all round play will be sorely missed but at the end of the day we can't carry on paying silly wages , I reckon he's been offered something elsewhere and if it's better than it is here you can't blame him. Sad way to be leaving. . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes worth more than that and I’d decline that offer as well. He will get a 3 year deal on £10/12k pw this summer even in this market. Ah I see what you mean.

They will still be some very average players who are financially secure for life. They will but they will be making demands that clubs simply can't afford to offer. I really hope we reign in our spending and stop pandering to the apparent demand of the fanbase (i.e. Rhodes). Lets not waste another £10m+ in one go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morepork Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I'm not going to shed a tear about anyone leaving. If we can somehow dodge a bullet with the EFL I actually think we'll be well placed to make a fresh start. If the worst happens then we need to cut our cloth accordingly. Either way, it was way past a time for change. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC does as he pleases, we've seen plenty of evidence of that. Did he think it would increase his appeal with the fans, in part yes. But, the bottom line is he bought Rhodes because he was totally naive on so many fronts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club has seen him through some injuries to be fair and supported him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Owl Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I can't be the only person who can remember that normal practise for a football club is to buy, sell and release players. Some players you're disappointed when they leave and some you're glad to see the back of. I think that our strange transfer policy of the last few years has created a false environment in which to assess a player's value to the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad way to be leaving. . As well as FF supposedly joining the pork, I heard a less convincing story Fletch was also discussing with them as well. FF has now sorted his house in chapeltown and appears to be moving to the south of the city , so something on that front could well be happening.

PortlandOwl Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 About time this bloated, ageing, overpaid squad was trimmed. Should have been done years ago. Not sorry to see any of them go to be honest, which sort of sums up the relationship between the fans and club in my opinion. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S26 Owl Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Dissapointed about Fletcher but at 33 and probably still expecting a fair bit of the 40k a week he's been paid I think it's a sensible decision. Fox is dependable but replaceable and I'm not sure why people expected him to do us a favour when our own fans booed him at one point FF can go for me, quality on his day but tantrums and injuries have meant few and far between, in our current predicament not worth the risk.
