Gee SCREAMER !! Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 The assistant manager their is Andy Quy who played for us for a bit I think. Tom Glick involved as well. Huge club with a whole 18 months of history. I don't think this has really worked out as planned has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWC1983 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 As a few others have said, I'd imagine it's the change of scenery and a chance to live in the US that will appeal to him. Simple stuff like nice weather and relative anonymity might make a difference in deciding where to continue a career. So what if the perceived level of football isn't at Prem or championship standard, not all players are bothered about that. The last 4 years at Wigan and Derby may have taken its toll and he fancies a brand new start. Haven't we all at one point? Good luck to him.

rammieib Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Encouraging thing here is we received a fee. Even if it’s just 100k, it’s still a fee. This isn’t a distraction holding over us and now for a good few months, (I assume the Buchanan compo was agreed), we have no distractions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazloW Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) As we’re apparently getting compensation for his registration (if I’ve read that correctly) then what advantage did he gain by having a strop? Is it just the case that we wouldn’t get as much as he’s no longer technically under contract? I’m sure nobody would have begrudged him leaving as he’s obviously better than League 1 (indeed, I’d have no issue with anyone wanting to leave really, albeit I’d want to keep as many of our contracted players as possible like Byrne, Bird, Knight and Sibley). I’m sure somebody would have come in for him and there would have been no need for any silliness and resulting rancour. I doubt he’s really bothered, but it just casts an unnecessary shadow on his time here, which is a shame because he was a good player for us.

vonwright Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) Given that he's gone for what I assume is a fairly nominal fee, it's weird that no Championship club came in for him. He was arguably our best and most consistent player last season, and last season we were (points deductions notwithstanding) a lower-mid-table Championship side.

Maybe clubs are wary of signing someone who has shown such utter contempt for the contract that he signed - not only that, but he also appears to have refused to return to the club while his issues were addressed. Suspect he's done some serious damage to his reputation in the UK with his actions.....regardless of his ability on the field Edited August 5, 2022 by Gaspode Grimbeard and vonwright 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram@Lincoln Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Don't all the American teams have to publicly release exactly how much each player gets paid and what they bought them for? If so we'll no doubt quickly see what the deal is all about. therealhantsram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we really know is that he apparently isn't turning up for work and wants to tear up his Contract so he can get a new club and a signing-on fee. Would be surprised to learn that the club is paying him but that he is returning the money - or at least telling them he’s willing to return it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
