Crusoe Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 According to today's Chron the club didn't take up the option they had on Dieng's contract. If true, why on earth? I don't believe he would've been on a high salary and he had become a useful and versatile first team player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe he would've been on a high salary and he had become a useful and versatile first team player. If that's true then its very strange decision, as he was excellent, particularly after Shez arrived back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embargo's are only with registering new players aren't they? Since he was already registered then it woudn't be a problem. Be interesting to hear who decided and why we haven't taken up the option.

HarryBosch Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 (edited) :censored:ing ridiculous decision. We were a better team and he was one of our better players whenever he got a run of games..... Even with a bit of a payrise built in he must still have been cheap.... Edited July 6, 2016 by HarryBosch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_mighty_bosh Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I look at the players who have been sold or released and I remember thinking at the start of last season that so many of them could've gone either way. They must take some of the blame themselves but it mainly says a lot about the effect of the false economy managerial choices that Corney made. I'm not saying that all of the players on the list would be first team regulars by now, but for pretty much every player from the squad to be out of the club and the majority moving downwards says a lot about how they were managed in the first half of the season. Thankfully Shez did a great job of getting a tune out of the team to avoid the drop. Hopefully we're over the worst of it now and Robinson looks like he might be a shrewd move, but the turnover of players we've had should be a clear indicator to Corney that cheap managers can be much more costly in the long run.
