"Due to matters that neither party is in a position to disclose, the decision has been made to ensure the football club can now focus on the season ahead. "No further comment will be made by the club at this time." 17 hours ago, deyres42 said: I mean the statement seems pretty unequivocal...

Lee Sinnott2 Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 Wheater was back with the first team for training a couple of months ago. He has now been sent back to train with the youth team and spends his days running around the Whitebank Stadium. I am under the impression they offered him a settlement not long back, but he didn't take it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's clearly no way back for him here and surely there would be other teams wanting him next month? From our point of view, Clarke and Piergianni have proven adequate enough that we aren't desperate for him to save our defence like we were a few months ago, and regardless of ability bringing a player into a team who hasn't played a competitive game in nearly 10 months would always be a gamble.

Wheater was leagues better than our current central defenders but after so much downtime it would be madness to bring him back into the squad and almost impossible for HK to manage Hopefully he will get a new club soon, good for him and wages released for the club to invest in a couple of new additions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously!! Have you not noticed how many goals we have let in? I for one would be happy take that gamble a couple of times to see how it works out.

Pidge Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 2 minutes ago, League one forever said: They want to pay him off. He won’t go. Right and wrong is situational based on your point of view. So if your boss wants to pay off your contract. Normally that means pay off what you would be due to be paid over the whole course of your contract. Maybe you may agree to a small reduction to reflect that you are leaving early and can get another job. ( older players may not find another job and would want playing in full) Well at Oldham this is a little different. “You better take the pay off or else I will make you get up every morning and run on your own around a track and play with 14 and 15 year old kids for the next twelve months!

Collecting his money isn’t being disputed. Is he in the right for seeing 18 months of his career drift away. Debatable. And only he will know if he’s doing the ‘right’ thing by himself. Interesting that because of our owners everyone is on Wheater side. Usually when the top earner sits his contract out he becomes a pariah with the fans.
