Wor’Jackie Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Fletcher is a huge loss for this close-season run in. Going to miss him for his play and his off field impact. Hutchinson is another that will be missed. The way he’s been treated in the last few months has been diabolical. Fox I could take or leave. He’s gotten better, but I’m excited to see Matt Penney take his place and put a mark down for himself. Winnall was always a much of a muchness. A strange signing from the off and never got in really. Good luck to him though. Forestieri....I’m in love with the memories and the Legend of Forestieri, but the hard reality is that he doesn’t care for us. Absolutely right to see him on his way. Doesnt matter what league we’re in, this day was coming and I’m glad it’s happening. Burn down the forest and grow it up again from the ashes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmigo Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 I will say it again. Some of the players not sticking around may have real challenges passing medicals. It’s a big call by Fletcher I would say to gamble that he will. Hutchinson and FF same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldishowl Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 It’s all about money. We can’t moan about DC not running the club properly and then moan about not giving players new contracts if they want more money than we can afford. We need a prudent wage budget with all players fitting in it. I certainly wouldn’t bust our wage budget for FF or Fletcher because it is just good money after bad . They both come with big injury risks and in FF’s case a decent argument about his commitment. I am not really bothered about spending next season debating what is FF’s best position while he shows very little desire to play at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, we've a lot of players to recruit this summer and cant afford a small number of players monopolising the budget, especially when those players may not necessarily contribute fully, due to fitness etc. We need to be less reliant on individuals and more of a team.

I don’t understand how you can say that about Hutch without knowing the details, unless of course you do. I would prefer for Hutch to be available but have no idea whose fault it is.

FF, Fletch, and Fox have just been on months of (well paid) leave and won't even see it through. They owe us that much at least. I really dont mind nuhiu 90% of the time I just think dc needs to get rid of the old and bring in new blood. I'm guessing but as lee and nuhiu have only been offered short contract then dc is letting them go at the end of this season . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigSGM Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Do we know if there were multiple options on the table for these guys? I know Fox & Fletcher had offers for next year and beyond, but has anything been said about whether they were also offered the one month extension that Atdhe and Lee have signed? Unfortunately it's understandable why they turned us down though, if the suggestion that they were offered reduced terms is true. Fox & Fletcher have the best season of their career and they're offered a pay cut? Not sure I'd take it either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would have been ridiculous if they were offered a pay cut for the brief extension as after all this is still 2019-20 season. If that was done, can understand their reaction. Fletcher was supposed to be subject of request to stay. Baffling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think many out-of-contract footballers may well have to lower their expectations re new deals as a result of the present crisis. They've received good salaries, including a two-month paid vacation in effect, yet can't be bothered to sign a short extension to see out the season. Poor attitude, IMO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJMortimer Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 4 hours ago, mcmigo said: Said it earlier, I think Fox will eventually sign a new deal. It seems to me that the official statement is very carefully worded and studiously avoids saying these three are leaving the club but makes that quite clear for several others. There may be another chapter to be written yet. If I were in Fletcher's position for example, even if I wanted to stay for next season, it would be entirely prudent to await developments.

catdog1121 Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 This is a complete ******** take. The amount of money they have earned then they just shaft us.... This is why the championship should have been cancelled for the season. If we get relegated now its a complete joke.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogers Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 So all the BS about being one big family and not wanting players to leave, then the contract is up and they leave. unreal 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
