Because there's no one else. Doesn't mean he isn't looking at replacements or considering not exercising the option we have on his contract. Who knows we might have to pay Kidderminster money after Fane makes a certain number of appearances, or if we renew his contract. He isn't worth spending any more money on (he wasn't worth the £80k minimum we have already spent on him). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't mean he isn't looking at replacements doesn’t mean that he is either or considering not exercising the option we have on his contract. But he may also take up that option Who knows we might have to pay Kidderminster money after Fane makes a certain number of appearances obviously you don’t or if we renew his contract. He isn't worth spending any more money on (he wasn't worth the £80k minimum we have already spent on him). We will have to disagree on this too ? Ftfy. ?

I have spoken to Wellens twice over the past year. Once when he was working with Shez, and once when he was our manager and picking Fane every week. Admittedly, both times he had had a couple, but he was far from complimentary about Fane. Wouldn't be surprised at all if we released him in the summer, assuming of course that Wellens hasn't been sacked by then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearing in the mind the circumstances when he took over. Bottom of the league. 4 points from 9 games. Floods of foreign players, many of which not up to it. Transfer embargo’s, takeover taking forever. No experienced assistant. Another season playing on a ploughed field - thanks Simon. Not allowed to sign Matt Mills, amongst others. If he keeps us up, I think he should be given a crack at it properly, yes. I assume you think a rookie should be doing better regardless of the circus going on around him?

Same goes for Devante Cole. Mate plays for Fleetwood, let’s say our bid for Cole was a token. Nothing like the money Wigan offered the previous day and only got accepted when our bid was ‘announced’.

Didn't Fleetwood accept our bid? i.e They were happy with what we were offering them in exchange for the opportunity to talk to Cole, indicating it can't have been buttons/token? Otherwise, why would they accept it? My understanding was that Wigan were prepared to pay Cole more wages than us.... which could well have been buttons/token?..... this is what Wellens referred to when he said something like, "If we'd just pushed it a bit more....."
