PlayItLivo Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Having squad harmony is great and all but having quality in your team wins you matches. I’ll take a few loose cannons if it gives us the quality to mount a top 7 challenge. Obviously, though, I’m ignorant to what has actually happened. If we’re suspending/getting shot of Byrne, it’d better be for a damn good reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither strike me as the type to be dictated to. maybe, just maybe they see Byrne and Gerrard as bellends they’d rather do without? and breaking a team mates leg in training may have tipped the scales for Byrne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, it's not that unusual. Nile Ranger springs to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nohairdontcare Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) From the moment we were relegated I knew Byrne wasn’t going to play for us again one way or another. What worries me though, is how it looks like we’re freezing him out. I can only presume we’re paying his wages until another club takes him off our hands, and AL is going to make things as miserable as possible for him between now and then to force him out and off the payroll as early as possible. That’s an ugly way to do business, in my humble opinion. Though it’s possible - or probable - that Byrne had a strop of some sort and that is something AL will use to tear up his contract. Having said that, repeated late payments is obviously something a player could use against the club in the event of a standoff. Anyway - my point is it’s not pretty. And while Byrne is easily branded a bad egg, the way things appear to be operating under AL don’t make him look like a particularly good egg... I think AL might be a stark raving bonkers egg to be honest. Edited July 26, 2018 by Nohairdontcare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightDN123 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Most top managers would remove anyone who doesn’t believe in the managers plans and/or doesn’t fallow the standards and guidelines set by the manager. If Bunn feels like either of them are going to cause issues down the line then get rid and freeze out if needs be. The team is more important than individuals and you will find most top managers believe in this and act accordingly . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is, he didn't do much 'talking on the pitch' during the second half of the season. In fact, at times it was like playing with 10 men. I appreciate he was played ridiculously out of position but sulking, not tracking back, not putting in a shift and standing there arguing with fellow teammates has nothing to do with being played out of position. If....and that's a big if...there is a taker for him, fire him off and reinvest the 6k a week in somebody who maybe isn't Byrne's quality but a person with the right attitude, application and endeavour can be every bit as creative and important to the side. Should we not have any takers and it gets to the window then we do, I accept have to try and get him back involved but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

super_blue Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Not sure how this will play out...Byrne doesn’t want to leave, he wants to play for us and has nothing on the table so he certainly isn’t pushing to leave. He’s training with the youth team so let’s see if he can do enough to turn around peoples thinking within the club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Didn't realise we have Stephen Robinson's son here. So that is Scholes son, Shez's son, and Robbo's son in the same side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I think AL knows that if you continue with a couple of 'characters' setting the mood of the team then it could ultimately lead to another relegation, as well as learning lessons about himself following our relegation there is no doubt where he also lays some blame and he seems to be ruthlessly going about steadying the ship, fair play I say.
