Gary1906 Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Does anyone know what’s happened to Fane? Various rumours about him either being suspended by the owner, injured, or dropped. Anyone know for sure though? I know he divides opinion on here - to say the least - but I actually think we’ve missed him in the last two matches.

He’s just disappeared out of the squad though without any explanation, unless I’ve missed it. I’m just curious to know what’s happened.

So we played most of a season with him in the team and we ended up getting relegated when he wasn't in the team for what 3 games? Can make a much stronger case for this joke of a footballer (and Wellens) being responsible for the position we ended up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's generally all Latics fans ask for. We had Ben Pringle FFS not even getting his knees dirty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had Ben Pringle FFS not even getting his knees dirty. Or Benyu last week and some of yesterday. I’d have Fane any day if it’s choice between them. I agree that we need to be doing a lot better than Fane but Pringle and Benyu have brought absolutely nothing to the team. At least with Fane you have someone who will show some enthusiasm and put a tackle in. The other two have just been total crap!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only that extra training had resulted in him learning how to save a penalty, run down the wing, put a good cross in followed by a blistering header!!! There are only a couple of players out of the squad/management who are exempt from criticism.....all the rest have contributed to this relegation.

Couldn't agree more, but the persistence with Fanny in midfield has been a constant thru the season whereas other players have been dropped or injured. No not down to one player but he hasn't helped.

If its been a choice between those two then I’d pick Fane every time personally. Benyu offers nothing at all, neither does Pringle as far as I can see. It’s all about opinions.

He can then get legal in response if he wants but a) why would he and b ) he’d lose. He’s probably ‘bad leaver’ anyway as he must have surely reneged on an agreement to resign once the sale was finalised.

Ohhhhhhh..I will say "I" as not to get any other Trust directors embroiled in this post. I would love to do a warts and all expose on the man on how he has conducted himself in the last few seasons. hmmmm.....maybe on the lines of the secret footballer....oh well I am sure someone is already on the case....now where's that journalist who had that big expose when you need him...hmmm i am a firm believer in karma and it will all come out in the end I'm sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he’s committed an offence it’s irrelevsnt and uninteresting really. If he has committed an offence then the trust board rep has also committed one by not reporting it.
