Anything could happen over the next few weeks. But at least we can tick off what won't happen. New deals for existing players into last 12 months of contract - nope Filing accounts from the 2019/20 to get us out of the embargo we are in - nope. Sign a player - nope Repay fans waiting for refunds from 2 seasons ago - nope. Use the fans card to try and get yet more money out of us for substandard goods or quality - most definitely.

catdog1121 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I think he could have been ok at league one level but I would hardly call him great so although would have preferred to have kept him I suspect he wanted a lot better wages which I don't think he is worth... I will be surprised if he gets a championship club after him and if he does he will be a squad/backup player at best... I think he would even struggle to be a definite starter for us in league one so not going be too upset, he made 16 Apps last year and of those 12 starts. Not sure if going to a championship club and bench warm will do his career any good but you never know someone where-ever he goes might get injured... Wish him all the best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Brennan coming through. if anything there are too many there. Which may have impacted his decision to stay. I mean if you said to me, where going to build a team around you. You’re the future, by the way we’ve brought Hutchinson back and he’s on double what we’re offering you. I’d question the faith you had in me and the amount of game time I’d be getting. The only issue is Borner could be off, Iorfa is coming back from a 9 month injury off the ACL often player reinjure from these sorts of injuries, Dunkley has not been match fit since February 2020, that leaves us Hutch who has a very good injury record (cough cough) and a young lad with 1 first team appearance. I suspect we may be needed at least two for centre halves before the season starts. Unless of course we play Palmer there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poite Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Must have been the caveat attached to the weekly wage that says you probably won't get anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

areNOTwhatTHEYseem Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 That's a huge shame, but hardly surprising given the circumstances. If we're unable to pay our players, then it makes it very difficult to sell the idea of signing a new contract with us, doesn't it? I really hope he doesn't turn out to be as good as I fear he might though, otherwise we could be talking about this one for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 (edited) We did give him another chance but I'm not surprised and wish him well should he leave. Edited June 3, 2021 by Inspector Lestrade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I’ve seen him he’s looked miles out of his depth. Like a rabbit in the headlights. I think a season in league 1 would have been good for him to learn his craft some more. Had a mistake or two in him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 IMO this is a bigger loss than Liam Shaw - who flatters to deceive I do have a bit of sympathy with the club on this one though - he had a couple of good games and then a couple of mares and then suffered a really serious knee injury. It’s near total revisionism to say signing him up after Brighton and Leeds (who he got a rinsing against) was a no brained - wait and see how he develops was very much the right approach at the time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then injured. I think at that point ie last summer we’d have been in a stronger position to extend on our terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.. Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Was expecting him to leave even if we stayed up, he's a Londoner isn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t disagree that what we have left is similar to how we stockpiled forwards a few years back. Loads of them but none that play all year and well! That’s why I’d have prioritised this lad over Hutch. I thought Urhoghide and Iorfa would be a fantastic pairing. I guess I’ll never know now.

Joe Sunburn Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Doesn’t that reduce the club to 14 on the active list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grandad Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 If he was offered the same as Shaw (£1100 pw - double his wages last season) I'd imagine he'll get fixed up for a significant amount more than that elsewhere. Totally understandable. And he would definitely be an active member of a League One squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Chow Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 There is nothing more for him here, who can blame him wanting to leave. why on gods earth would he sign a new deal if he’s uncertain whether he will be paid or not 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
