Tombo Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 With the club in disarray, and the strength of agents in the modern game, anyone who wants to leave will get their wish one way or another.

This is possibly the straw that breaks the camels back and forces liquidation. Crewton and Tombo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seths-cap Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 It would be nice to make some money out of it and it’s shame the money that we possibly will get would be peanuts given the circumstances but any player that isn’t 100% committed to the cause, for me, can gladly go.

Millenniumram Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 It’s sad really, because Davies clearly loves the club - and I’m sure he wants to stay at a place that he himself has said is “his home” now, having been here for so long and been through so much. But at his age, every season could be his last, and he’ll want to make sure he’s got somewhere to play next year. With no resolution to this mess in sight, I’d be very surprised if he doesn’t get a Championship contract in a week or so’s time. He’s still good enough as a backup at that level, and a great character to have in the dressing room. jimtastic56, Rammy03 and Carnero 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 They may all want to stay, but they’re all going. Mels legacy was meant be the academy. Spunked £50 mil on it for it to be ripped apart by the vultures. Absolute shambles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like being fined for speeding, then losing your licence because of the points, then losing your job as you can't drive and ultimately your house because you can't afford it.....

I absolutely agree and makes me so angry that we can’t tie up youngsters with a contract that protects the club Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
