Guest Therealrealist Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 If we have saved a year of his wages at about 15k a week...even tho he’s left for free...it’s the best bit of business we have done for ages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t take Ted Hastings to work out what went on there IMO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kew Owl Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 He would have been OK for us in League One - I guess we now need to replace him with someone on a lower wage, if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick70 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Well the wage bill will be a lot lower ..only bout 13 in squad !

No he’s not, but we shouldn’t be wishing away experienced players when its a real possibility we will be playing with un tested kids next season.

sheffield_dave Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Regardless of quality, every single experienced player that leaves while under contract (for what those contracts are apparently worth right now) is another we need to replace. It’s an already uphill situation that just keeps getting progressively more difficult, and I don’t think Borner will be the end of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We do know this group lacked quality and consistency. I’m open to change. Many of them will have to go for financial reasons anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I think who turns up for the first day of pre-season training will give us a true indication of where we are? I’ll be amazed if the likes of Bannan, Luongo, Paterson and Windass are present on that day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to get him off our wage bill and who in their right mind would pay any fee for him. TBF someone NOT in their right mind didn’t pay a fee to get him @ S6 in 1st place 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wish every player cared as much as him though. The fans wanted a hero and they choose him...yes he started off well I wouldn't say he was that good though, but he just fell to bits injury or not....that said no one should be forced to leave whilst still in contract due to not getting paid - again the attention turns to our dear leader! This club is completely fùcked up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to the lad Brennan he didn't look too uncomfortable or out of his depth when filling in last season Add that to Hutch (needs to be cb permanently) iorfa (if he's still here) and big dunk (if he ever gets fully fit) . Obviously were going to need another one in, but for me if iorfa and dunk csan get fit, that's not bad at this level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering our relegation, support this deal to save wages. Better than paying him for another season to then release him for free anyway. Particularly as he wouldn't be a first choice starter. A sensible comment at last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once he’s finished his rehab here he will be off. Dunkley is a sick note and won’t be able to do over 25 games a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
