We need bryne and Baxter, if bryne doesn’t go before the start surely he has to play rather than rotting training with the kids Byrne is a difficult one for Bunn. He’s seemingly laid down a strict code of conduct for the players and Byrne has obviously stepped way out of line. Personally I think he’s finished at the club, I think Bunn doesn’t want anybody who can’t fit in with the team ethic and basic rules that the management team have spelt out to the players. Can’t blame him for that. Sets down a marker for all the other players. Could do with getting him off the wage bill ASAP if that’s the case so the money can be put towards a striker. The trouble is though that Byrne is developing such a bad reputation for himself that other clubs might not be willing to take a chance on him.

Byrne has shown his obvious quality at League one level. Someone will always be willing to take a chance on him at that level and even the level below. The issue will be his rumoured massive wage, not a lot of clubs can afford it. We may have to send him out on loan to get him even partially off the wage bill, if he isn't going to play.

That’s what I’m hoping, but why leave it so late ? Team bonding, match fitness etc. Even if it was so how Doyle, this isn’t the same squad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had Fane suspended when we needed him in our relegation fight. Joe Royle was on the right side of AL today, sat in the North Stand.....just sayin'.

I very much doubt he his there to assist the manager. For me it shows that hopefully AL isn’t the devil he is being made out to be, joe wouldn’t associate with someone he feels is destroying the club. He will also be talking with Frankie, who must be saying positive things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
